* ReferencedBy: The ClockTower scene in this movie is recreated almost frame-by-frame in ''Film/ProjectA''. Creator/JackieChan is a huge Buster Keaton fan and credits Keaton's stunts as one of his inspiration; there's another Keaton reference (to ''Film/OneWeek'') in the sequel when Chan stands under a falling wall [[ByWallThatIsHoley underneath a well-placed window]].

* InspirationForTheWork: Creator/HaroldLloyd got the idea for this film when he saw Bill Strother climbing the Brockman Building in Los Angeles as a stunt one day. Lloyd - who had a difficult time watching anyone else perform a dangerous stunt because he had no control over that situation - hid behind a corner, peeking to check on Strother's progress every few moments. After Strother reached the roof, Lloyd went up and introduced himself.
