Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Yes, that’s a real ship from the late 1800s that was bunt and sunk for “Old Ironsides” but tbh you can’t argue with the results<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFilm</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>So yeah.. I’m like 85% certain that people got hurt making these huge action scenes b/c y’know it was 1926 and most of the budget went towards getting real ships for the film<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Other famous cast members with small roles include: Boris Karloff and Gary Cooper has an ultra teensy uncredited role as well (this was one of many uncredited roles at the start of his career)<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BorisKarloff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BorisKarloff</span></a></p>

Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>The Cook is played by George Godfrey who was a heavyweight champion boxer known as “The Leiperville Shadow” with only 21 career losses. He was in fewer than 10 films but he’s really in this. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeorgeGodfrey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeorgeGodfrey</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/boxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boxing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFilm</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>It’s fair to assume that basically all of these dudes boarded the USS Constitution already with nasty cases of amoebic dysentery <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>5 schillings is about 6 cents in USD ..which would be less than $2 USD today😑<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Yes. There was a musical number in this silent epic war action film. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Okay, so the history in this is fuzzy at best but at least the print is surprisingly clear<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OldIronsides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldIronsides</span></a></p>
