Pardon My Backfire

You must see it in 3D - what the Stooges throw at each other also comes at you. Otherwise the usual Stooge stuff except for the three girlfriends, who get little screen time.

This is a pretty funny short, Moe throwing a knife into Shemp's rear is a hoot! The dinner scene was a little funny, but the "musical food" bit was just plain silly. The part in which the stooges are running their auto-mechanic shop is pretty violent for a stooge short. But it was still pretty funny, and the fight at the end was also great. But they could've spared us the cheesy 3-D, at least the 3-D has improved slightly since the first 3-D stooge short, "Spooks". I highly recommend this short to any three stooges fan.

Grade: B+

Larry, Moe, and Shemp are having dinner with their girlfriends. They are ten years engaged and still no marriages. The girls' unhappy father gives the boys a week to earn enough money to marry his daughters. They go to work at a garage. A car drives in with a suspicious crew.

Besides the 3D, this is a pretty good Shemp Stooges short, but I will always love Curly more. As for the 3D, it is mostly having things thrown at the screen. It is the old style cheesy 3D use. It actually fits the Stooges' style very well. At the time, I'm sure that it was done with comedic intent and serious considerations. By the time of my movie-going experience, that type of 3D was long considered bad cheese. Nowadays, I look upon it with comedic camp cheesy goodness.

On a local Television station I saw this funny Three Stooges in true 3D! There was another one in 3D called Spooks! Pardon My Backfire was really already in 3D like when Moe would do his stuff like throwing something or when one of the gangsters did something it would come right into the screen! What I mean by true 3D is that it had the color like the famous colors! It was a cool experience!

The Three Stooges short is pretty good! It has a couple brutal scenes like the wire going through Larry's nose and ear and he must pull it out and like when Moe's behind is one fire! The actors that played the gangsters are cool which they have played other parts in other Three Stooges shorts! Like other Three Stooges shorts, the Stooges have girl friends. Like the other 3D short, this too has the different introduction with the stooges doing it live instead of the usual intro! With the 3D experience or without it Pardon My Backfire is funny one to watch!
