4.0 out of 5 stars
"Spread out you guys!", June 2, 2009
This review is from: The Three Stooges Classics (3 pack) Have Rocket Will Travel; Around the World in a Daze; The Outlaws is Coming (VHS Tape)
Ammy's product descriptions adequately cover film synopses.
These three SP mode COLUMBIA TRISTAR tapes are all of excellent quality.
HAVE ROCKET, WILL TRAVEL is the only post-Shemp film to include the eye poke routine. Complaints that imitating kids were injuring each other forced the retirement of this classic sight gag.
THE THREE STOOGES GO AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAZE was inspired by the Jules Verne novel and scripted by long-time Stooge hand, Edward Ullman. Includes odd character names such as Itchi Kitchi, Lory Filch and Kandu. Also here are oriental Stooges!
Finally, there's the very last completed Stooge movie, THE OUTLAWS IS COMING-- a title that spoofs ads for a previous Hitchcock frighter, which proclaimed: "The Birds is Coming!" (Also scripted by Ed Ullman.)
OUTLAWS... and
...IN A DAZE are available on DVD.
HAVE ROCKET... is not.
(Blame the "PC" police!)
