It turned out to be real and exploded, blowing off Lloyd's right thumb and index finger, and putting him in the hospital for months. When he recovered, he went back to making movies, wearing a white glove while on screen to hide his damaged right hand. He did his stunts in this film and Feet First (1930), dangling from ledges, clocks and windows, using only eight fingers.Eddie Eddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864410680077755048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-35903162611573975682011-03-11T02:53:42.736+03:002011-03-11T02:53:42.736+03:00He needs to go back to bed and not get up until th...He needs to go back to bed and not get up until the moon cycles to an orbit that doesn't cause all those "things" to happen to him.
