Cops(1922)

A roar from the riot squad!

Cops is a 1922 silent comedy short starring Buster Keaton as an ordinary man caught in an escalating series of misunderstandings. After a chance encounter with a horse and cart goes awry, Keaton finds himself at the center of chaos that spirals into a full-scale pursuit. His attempts to clear his name only deepen the confusion, and he inadvertently disrupts an entire police parade, transforming the entire police force into his pursuers. What follows is a masterclass in physical comedy as Keaton navigates the city streets with his signature deadpan expression, evading an army of angry officers. The film showcases Keaton's impeccable timing and inventive gag work, building from small mishaps to absurd, slapstick mayhem that culminates in one of silent cinema's most memorable chase sequences.
