The Great Train Robbery	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An early film Western, made in 1903 by Edwin S. Porter for Thomas Edison's production company. It depicts a group of criminals robbing a train and its passengers, escaping in the uncoupled locomotive, and then being pursued and killed by a posse recruited from a local dance hall. Apart from the title card and the famous shot of an outlaw firing at the audience, the film consists of thirteen shots, taking place in three interior and a variety of exterior locations. There are no intertitles.It was one of the longest narrative films yet produced at the time,note 740 feet, or about 12 minutes when projected at 16 fps and contains early uses of what would come to be standard cinematic techniques: composite editing (via multiple exposure), location shooting, intercutting between simultaneously-occurring scenes, cutting within the same scene to compress time, and camera movement.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This film is in the public domain, and may be viewed at YouTube and elsewhere.Not to be confused with the 1975 Michael Crichton novel of the same title, the 1978 film based on Crichton's novel, or other Similarly Named Works.

The Great Train Robbery / int_15c0289	comment	Bullet Dancing: Done by the townspeople, oddly enough, when a "dude" in fancy clothes intrudes upon their square dance.

The Great Train Robbery / int_e0c470a1	type	The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You
The Great Train Robbery / int_e0c470a1	comment	The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: One of the earliest known film examples of this trope; the leader of the outlaws fires at the audience. There are urban legends that some people were so shocked at seeing this, that they ducked or even passed out in the theater—well, even in 1903 people knew that real bandits were in color and three-dimensional, so probably not. But the final shot doubtlessly made an impact. It's a surprise even for a modern-day viewer.
