Wissenswertes
During the Coney Island magic mirror scene, Harold Lloyd gives the middle finger to his reflection in the mirror. This obscene gesture was permitted by censors in motion pictures prior to the enforcement of the draconian Hays Code in 1934 and can be seen in a number of other contemporary films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Der Weltmeister (1927), by Dick Dix in Die letzten Vier (1932), and by Bette Davis (to Douglas Fairbanks Jr) in Parachute Jumper (1933).

Patzer
In several early scenes the box score to the Yankee game is shown to keep fans and customers up to date. The Yankees were said to be playing a home game. Therefore, the Yankees should be shown on the bottom of the box score, not on top, as shown in the film.

Zitate
Babe Ruth: [after riding in Speedy's cab] If I ever want to commit suicide, I'll call you.

Alternative Versionen
In 1992, The Harold Lloyd Trust and Photoplay Productions presented a 85-minute version of this film in association with Thames Television International and Channel Four, with a musical score written by Carl Davis. The addition of modern credits stretched the time to 86 minutes.

Very Entertaining, & Also An Enjoyable Time Capsule From 1920s New York

Besides providing plenty of entertainment from Harold Lloyd and the rest of the cast, this silent comedy classic is also quite enjoyable as a time capsule from 1920s New York, with wonderful footage of Coney Island and other sights, plus the amusing appearance by Babe Ruth. Even more so than most movies of its era, it gives you a very good feel for its time and place.

The plot has Lloyd, as perpetual job-seeker and job-loser "Speedy", trying to save the city's last horse-drawn streetcar, which is driven by the father of his girlfriend. The David-vs.-Goliath conflict gives Lloyd a lot to work with, and it is used to good effect both for gags and for character development. There are a number of good sequences, including a hilarious and detailed street donnybrook between the transport company's hired goons and Lloyd's ragtag neighborhood stalwarts.

The lengthy digressions from the main story also work very well. The taxicab sequence with Ruth is probably the best-remembered, and there is also a delightful sequence at Coney Island's Luna Park. Ann Christy and Lloyd work together well, and they make an especially pleasant and sympathetic couple in this sequence.

"Speedy" is a good showcase for Lloyd, since it combines action sequences that advance the story with other sequences that simply entertain and give you a feel for the characters. Overall, it has quite a lot to recommend it.
