Audience Member It is the beginning and uncompleted ideas of City Lights 1931. There were the same jokes and funny acts but my thought is The Champion is a preview or a warm-up for his Golden Age of filmmaking.

It was not my favorite Charlie Chaplin film but it had some funny scenes within in. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the significantly earlier examples of Charlie Chaplin's talent for slapstick comedy, The Champion is a simple little front for great physical comedy in the context of a sports movie. Charlie Chaplin is the real champion of the story, ensuring that at 30 minutes of silent movie length The Champion is a sufficiently entertaining comedy loaded with the entertaining slapstick and comedic dynamics that make him the iconic comedian he is today. It's a fun venture, moving him from being the sophisticated man in a suit to being an unusually talented boxer. It maintains a classical feel with much of the original vaudeville atmosphere to it, and supplies a good slap of many sticks from the hands of the man himself, Charlie Chaplin.
