very subtle throwaway gags
So subtle that nobody has commented on them. We watched the movie last night and afterward, I asked Mrs. Figg if she got the bit about the door. No, she hadn't. Three times or four times Buster's camera breaks the glass in the front door. The next time he goes in the office there are heavy metal grates on both sides of the glass.
Buster is filming closeup the two tongers struggling on the ground. There is a knife on the sidewalk. Buster stops cranking, leans over and puts the knife in one fighter's hand and goes back to filming the now much more dramatic struggle. I assume that was Buster's sly comment about objective news reporting.
