    Great Three Stooges short! Bud Jamison is great!

    The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

    This is one of The Three Stooges' best western shorts! Its very funny. Bud Jamison puts on a fantastic performance! His accent is very authentic and his personality is cool. There are many hilarious scenes here including the fishing scenes! I seriously recommend this Three Stooges short to all Three Stooges fans!

    a little inappropriate but very Stooges

    Larry, Moe, and Curly are petty crooks in Lobo City in the old west. They go on the run as fugitives from the law. They have a $333.33 bounty wanted "Dead or in Bad Shape". They go fishing and then get pursued by lawmen. The guys break into a cabin and pretend to be Indians. When the real cabin owner shows up, he is angry. His wife had ran away with an Indian. The boys escape and continue with their Indian disguise. A cross-dressing Curly gets married.

    This certainly wouldn't fly today. Times have changed. It's not the most inappropriate, but it is still funny. This is early official "The Three Stooges" directed by Del Lord. I actually find the fishing the most fun. It is simple Stooges comedy and I like its simplicity. I also like a cross-dressing Curly. Cross-dressing is always fun. I truly love a bald Curly trying to be demure.

    BIG SQUAW CURLY.

    The big debate is how many more times were the Stooges victims of circumstances as compared to playing crooks??? In this case, yes, they're cheatin' gamblers in the Old West who have no choice but to high-tail it outta' town. A lynch mob, headed by tough hombre Pierre (Bud Jamison) is out to string 'em up!

    This is where it gets creative, thanks to writer Clyde Bruckman. Moe, Larry and Curly hide out in the wilderness at an Indian reservation. Very clever manuever, and the wardrobe folks deserve credit. They borrowed from the studio's western unit, applied some fakeup makeup and Curly is back in drag! This time playing an outrageous Squaw. By this stage in the game, Curly could dress up as about anyone and make us laugh out loud. Except Pierre. Bud Jamison seeks his REVENGE. A super role for Bud, the ultimate Stooge foil, much like Vernon Dent.

    Veteran silent actor Robert Mackenzie plays the sheriff, often in westerns and film classics. Another winner directed by Del Lord, definitely inspiration for Stooge westerns yet to come.

    Always on dvd via Columbia, generally decades, 30s, 40s, and 50s releases. Some box sets have themes. All remastered.

    Thanks to METV for running the Stooges Saturdays, perfect weekend entertainment.

    WHOOPS, I'M AN Indian (Del Lord, 1936) **1/2

    This is another Stooges short with a Western setting, which has some nice backwoods scenery but is otherwise routine. Here, the boys are swindlers run out of town by the customers of a saloon; they subsequently have to fend for themselves, where we get a good gag which has Curly trying to procure food by going underwater and shooting at the fish! Eventually, they reach a log-cabin – the property of one of their 'victims' and whose wife has been abducted by Indians; coincidentally, The Stooges disguise themselves as Native Americans which, of course, incurs the trapper's wrath (and also gives the film its title!). At the finale, our heroes are back in town – believing their Indian disguise will fool the locals – but, on the run once again soon after, they unwittingly lock themselves up in jail!

    Weaker Stooge short

    Whoops I'm an Indian (1936)

    ** (out of 4)

    Lazy short from The Three Stooges has them wanted by the law so they dress as Indians but then run into a man whose wife left him for one. The jokes here are pretty standard and routine and there really weren't any laugh at loud moments. The fishing scene is probably the highlight but even this wasn't that funny.

    Now available on Columbia's 2-disc set, which features over 20 shorts, all digitally remastered and looking better than ever. If you're a fan of the Stooges then this is a must own.
