I found some silent movie pie fights on youtube which I had not seen before. The blog at http://anthonybalducci.blogspot.com/2018/11/a-silent-film-rule-pies-go-splat-but.html lists a number of pie fights in the films of this period, so these same films might be mentioned there.

Something that I remembered that was related to the pie fight business was that Larry Semon was said to have had such fights in hs films. Sometimes he was said to have had big pie fights in them.


Pie throwing is mentioned in this review.

When watching Larry Semon comedies, I have seen them throw jam and paste as well as pies, so I'll mention that in the interest of accuracy. Throwing all such things can be seen as similar, and in Larry Semon comedies there were sequences where the charachters were fighting with their food.

The myth that girls were not tied to the railroad tracks in silent movies has been dealt with on another site, which also deals with the one having to do with a paucity of pie fights in the same period.
