About The Fantastic Plunger
A diver leaps into the water and comes straight back out again. Ferdinand Zecca made the trick in 1901. It is not his 1905 remake, also called Plongeur fantastique.

More about The Fantastic Plunger
Ferdinand Zecca directed the 1901 version. A later Zecca film of the same name, released in 1905, is a different picture.
Themes
Notes
- The French title used for this short is the same one Zecca reused in 1905, which is why the two films get mixed up.
- The whole gag is the reverse exit: the diver leaves the water the way he entered.
Scenes
- The diver hits the water and pops back out on the same trajectory.
