Charlie Chaplin couldn't keep up with his trademark hat in The Vagabond (1916). When the Little Tramp is being chased around and through a bar, he falls and loses his hat outside the place but when he enters again he's wearing it. He then exits once more, hatless, and outside picks up the hat off the sidewalk where he originally dropped it.
Charlie's hat problems continue when he rescues a gypsy girl, and her father tries to drown him in a washtub. He escapes soaking wet and hatless, and jumps onto the back of a washtub, spitting water in the father's face. In the next shot, he's climbing into the front of the wagon, not only wearing the hat, but bone dry.
The only reason I'm doing this again is because someone told me that they actually like this kind of stuff. Granted they may not come every week, but this is for those out there that find it interesting.
I'll put up a second one to make up for last week on "US Movie Release Friday." (Today is "International Movie Release Wednesday," if you were wondering.)
