This review is from: 3 Stooges: What's the Matador [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First Classic: "Boobs in Arms." Anyone who has ever been in the Army will appreciate this one. Curly is at his best. I love the part where the Sergeant shows them how to skip to get into step; Curly - and then the whole squad - starts skipping, unbeknownst to the Sergeant. Also, when they hide in duffle bags used for bayonet practice and the Sergeant does some bayonet lunges that tickle the three recruits' noses. Doing shoulder arms drills results in three accidental kills - of ducks flying over! This one will break your gut!

Second Classic: "Mutts to you" is a favorite with spouses of Stooge maniacs, because it is a cutesy, not-so-rough episode, not real funny, but very amusing. It's a classic, but a relief from laughing so hard after the two other classics.

Third classic: "What's the Matador?" the title skit, is a great saga of the majestic sport of Bull Fighting. Especially stunning when Curly finally meets a bull head to head.

BOOBS IN ARMS- A pretty funny short. About fourteen minutes of this short is funny, except where the Stooges are asleep during the war. That copies off HALF SHOT SHOOTERS, my least favorite Three Stooges short. This is a pretty funny short though. The end, where the Stooges get carried into the sky by a rocket is one of the funniest endings ever. The best short on this tape.

MUTTS TO YOU is another funny short. Vernon Dent is funny as the Stooges landlord. The only drawback is that backgroud music is added at the end of the short. I always disliked shorts that had background music.

WHAT'S THE MATADOR? is funny as well. This was remade as SAPPY BULLFIGHTERS with Joe Besser. That wasn't as good as this, though. This short, however, is not that special or new, but has some pretty good scenes.

This tape is worth adding to your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars MUTTS THE MATADOR?, July 7, 2001

BOOBS IN ARMS (1940) - This short holds a special place in my heart, because it's my favorite Three Stooges short of all time. I love this short, because it's excellent from beginning to end. A very fast-paced short, and Curly's at his best in the marching scenes. The ending with the boys being blown with laughing gas is the most funniest and outrageous Three Stooges ending ever. I never get tired of this.

MUTTS TO YOU (1938) is a bad short. I never really liked any of the "baby" shorts the boys did, and that goes for this one as well. There aren't a lot of funny scenes, and for the most part, it's a pretty boring short.

WHAT'S THE MATADOR? (1942) - A pretty good short. The best part is the second half with the Matador act - Curly is hilarious as the matador, and the ending is great, too.

Great tape, with only one weak short, but I still recommend it.
