Featured review
Runaway Train
The second talkie in the long-run "Our Gang" series really kicks into high gear when the train a few of the kids are running goes out of control, speeding down the tracks. This dramatic "runaway train" segment comprises the second half of this 21-minute film.
During the train-out-control segment, Farina gets "run over" about a half-dozen times. Actually, and it shows this, he lies down flat just before the train arrives, so it passes over the top of him each time.
In all, in what starts off as a leisurely-paced story of kids learning about trains, turns into a dramatic story in which the kids - and passengers of on coming train - nearly lose their lives.
For those who love trains, there are some great closeup shots of these fantastic machines. This turned out to be a very entertaining early Our Gang short.
