Big Game is a curious entry in silent comedy, directed by the often overlooked Alfred J. Goulding. It’s got that early 20s charm, with Snub Pollard and Ernest Morrison delivering a playful chemistry. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to the whimsical atmosphere, especially when they find themselves entangled in a wild adventure to rescue a tourist. The chase scenes are filled with practical effects that have a certain rough-around-the-edges appeal. The film’s humor is spotty but enjoyable, mixing slapstick with a hint of absurdity. It’s not always coherent, but there’s a distinct flavor to it that makes it interesting, reflecting the era's experimental spirit in comedy.
