⭐ Featured Review

Surprisingly good Besser outing.
by yarborough β€’ 2001-10-25

"I believe that this remake short is far better than the original short, which featured Curly. The original Curly short has a dragging opening scene in a barn, and a terrible joke in which Curly says, as the Stooges are about to drive off a cliff, "Don't look now, but I think we're about to be killed." And the battle with the bad guys is overly repetitive and unfunny. This remake, however, has a funny scene in which the Stooges search for uranium in the desert (especially funny due to Moe and Larry's scuffle), and the scene in which they try to figure out who sleeps on ..."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Although it's usually regarded as a remake, it is actually an original story, with a closing sequence which reuses scenes from the earlier film ("Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise" (1939)).
