    Good Three Stooges short!

    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 a very good Three Stooges short. Harry Semels and Al Thompson are in this one. Richard Fiske is also in the short but his scenes are from archive footage from another Three Stooges short called Boobs in Arms. This is a very good Three Stooges short with many funny parts and I recommend it!

    Helium-Filled Moe Highlights This So-So Effort

    The boys must produce a new "revolutionary" airplane, as promised, or they will be drafted into the military.

    This "short" has the semi-famous Moe-as-a-big black-balloon skit in which he first floats to the top of the room and eventually out a skylight window has to be shot out of the sky by Curly.

    It takes just over half the movie for the "Wrong Brothers" to get their plane, "The Buzzard," out of the hangar. Before that are bunch of verbal jokes and a lot of slapstick where the guys take turns taking a beating from something or someone. There's the old "Oh, oh, oh......oh, look" as we see the blades of saw all ruined after they were used on his head. That sort of thing.

    With all three of these bozos in the small cockpit as the same time, you know their flight is going to wind up a disaster.

    I was disappointed, however, to see the final three minutes is not original, a scene from a previous Stooges film called "Boobs In Arms." There is no need for that kind of cheapness from Columbia Pictures.

    If you like the Three Stooges, you'll like this because it incorporates most of their sight gags and slapstick all within a 17-minute time frame, even if that last part is a "repeat," which still is inexcusable and makes me downgrade my final rating of this.

    What a blast, Moe on tar bubble episode!!!

    One most creative Stooge's episode when our friends are making an Airplane to US's Army, otherwise they'll sent to the front as soldiers, they try their best, of course it wasn't enough, meanwhile in the process they haphazardly break down Moe in a tar's bathwater, it dry fast and Moe float into the roof, many attempts to get bring Moe down ends up useless, then he escape though the roof toward in the atmosphere, they shot him and falling down at nearest water well, back at work they finally finish the Airplane, however they forget that there no space at door to take it there, Curly has a bright idea to saw the Airplaine's wings, Moe take the handsaw and saw Curly's head, the whole handsaw is broken, funniest episode from the classic line up of the Stooges!!

    Resume:

    First watch: 1973 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 8

    My favorite "Three Stooges" short

    "Dizzy Pilots" is my all-time favorite "Three Stooges" short. This short 17 minute film makes me laugh every single time I see it. I laughed out loud the very first time I saw it, and I just saw it again last night on AMC and laughed out loud again. In "Dizzy Pilots", The Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, and Curly) play the Wrong Brothers, a trio of inept guys who build an airplane and make attempts to assure that everything goes right or they'll be drafted into the army. The usual slapstick comedy that you would expect from The Three Stooges is very well intact here. Hilarious from start to finish.

    My Favorite

    This is easily my favorite Stooges Short.I became a Stooges fan when I was about 5.I'm still a huge fan at age 47.I feel the Stooges were at their peak with "Dizzy Pilots".I believe most guys would find "Pilots" hilarious.while most females may find it rather silly.Too bad.Of course,most women don't like football and some children don't like ice cream either

    • Trivia
      The first Three Stooges short to utilize a sound effect to accompany a finger-poke in the eye.
    • Goofs
      When the Stooge's Buzzard goes into a tailspin, another plane streaks by with colored smoke trailing behind. This suggests the filmmaker's used footage from an air-show.

      Moe Wrong: [seeing Curly sawing one of the plane's wings] No, nitwit! You saw the garage!

      Curly Wrong: I see the garage, but I don't saw the garage. You are speaking incorrectly. You are moidering the king's English! Et cetera! See, saw, see...

      Moe Wrong: [grabs Curly by the neck and shakes him] Shut up! You saw one side and Larry will saw the other.

      Curly Wrong: Oh I see, I saw!

      [saws Moe's arm]

      Moe Wrong: [grabs the saw from Curly] Not like that, like this!

      [smacks Curly in the face with the saw then saws his head as Curly yells in pain]

      Curly Wrong: Oh, look!

      [he and Moe notice that Curly's head destroyed the saw's edges]
