The Battle of the Century

In this 1927 silent comedy short, Laurel & Hardy star Stan Laurel takes a punt on his pugilist pal Thunderclap Callahan, hoping to cash in on a $500 prize. However, things quickly go awry when Stan inadvertently knocks out the opponent and gets into a pie fight that spirals out of control, involving over 3,000 pies - a feat that still stands as one of cinema's most outrageous stunts.
