cinema history - What was the first film to have a fight on top of a moving train? - Movies & TV



The earliest I could locate was a Mexican film El Tren fantasma as described here.



The General (1926) starring Buster Keaton was known for its action in a train, but I am unable to reliably establish if there was a fight on top of a moving train.




Is there any older movie which has such a fight?


Answer



The oldest I know is "The Great Train Robbery" (1903).



There is a youtube clip, see scene 4, approx. in minute 4ff



There are more information about the film at:
