1929 is awfully late to make silent slapstick comedies. Sound was capturing people's attention. However, sight gags is what Lupino Lane did. Lupino was absolutely mind-blowing as a rubbery stunt comic. While this film is hilarious, I've knocked off a couple points, voting it an 8: The character has rather shallow personality or pathos. While laugh-provoking for his stunts, he's no Keaton or Chaplin. It's also unfortunate that the racial material (the cannibals are whites in blackface) is truly embarrassing today. But as a very entertaining period piece, I consider it one of my favorites.
