Stunt Compilation: Daring Feats in 1918 San Francisco (silent)

This silent, black-and-white compilation film showcases an array of thrilling stunts performed throughout San Francisco. The footage captures U.S. Marine hero Franklin Rose skating along the parapet of the Federal Building, high-speed pursuits by motorcycle cops along the Great Highway, and even farmers planting crops by dropping seeds from planes. A cameraman takes a perilous ride on a windmill arm in Golden Gate Park, while Rose, in another daring act, arrests a low-flying pilot. Other scenes include jumps between cars and planes, a skier being pulled by a racing car, and a cyclist racing around the Palace of Fine Arts before jumping through a hoop of fire. This thrilling montage, sourced from Fox, International News, and Pathe, celebrates the daring spirit of the era with jaw-dropping stunts that make for an electrifying visual experience.
