3.0 out of 5 stars
A truly pointless release,
By Anyechka (Rensselaer, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Three Stooges - Stooges on the Run (Color) (DVD)
I normally don't review things that haven't been released yet because one usually can't have an authoritative opinion on something s/he hasn't personally watched, listened to, or read. However, in this case I'm going to make an exception, seeing as all 4 of these shorts have already been released. There are no surprises here. This will be like the 13th time that 'Disorder in the Court' has been released, and there's already been a colorised version to boot! Yeah, it's a great short and an undisputed classic, but due to how it's one of the 4 public domain shorts, it's been released over and over again. Sometimes overexposure can make even great things seem boring. Seriously, why did the powers that be think the world needed yet ANOTHER release of 'Disorder in the Court'?
The other three shorts have also been released on various other discs. 'Dizzy Doctors' is already on a disc of the same name, 'Pop Goes the Easel' is on 'Stooges and the Law,' and 'Calling All Curs' is on 'Cops and Robbers.' They're all great shorts, but why, if they insisted on continuing to do this colorised nonsense, couldn't they at least have chosen some titles that haven't been issued on DVD yet, like, say, 'They Stooge to Conga,' 'I'll Never Heil Again,' 'Uncivil Warriors,' or 'So Long, Mr. Chumps'? And why in the name of all that's holy are they only putting 4 shorts on each disc now? The previous two colorised DVDs sold predictably poorly, and now they're doing it all over again, setting themselves up for the exact same situation where a DVD will sell badly and the executives will conclude that that means there's no widespread public interest in this material? Who is actually going to buy this disc when all 4 titles are already all available on other DVDs? At least the other colorised discs didn't consist of ALL repeats. The latest word on the street is that Sony has confirmed the rumor that, sometime in 2007, they're going to start issuing all 190 shorts in boxed sets, properly, with no colorisation. Supposedly this disaster of a release is just to tide the fans over until the real goods hit the market. This is a pointless and self-defeating marketing move if I ever heard of one. How is one supposed to feel tided over while waiting on proper boxed sets with the likes of this? A disc meant to tide the fans over would consist of shorts not already available on DVD, and any way one slices it, all of the previous DVDs will be rendered pretty much useless and obsolete anyway when the boxed sets start coming out. I'd recommend waiting until next year instead of spending money on this.

Knuckleheads!,
By I know more about comedy movies than you "I'm... (Clemson, SC on 112 Robin Street, 29631) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Three Stooges - Stooges on the Run (Color) (DVD)
Please stop releasing colorized Stooges shorts. Us Stooges fans want a collection of the team's work with all the shorts remastered, in chronological order, and in black and white. We don't want DVD's that have shorts where the Stooges have the same jobs (ex. doctors, policemen, soldiers, etc.). We really, really want remasterd sound and picture quality, black and white shorts that are in chronological order. We don't want four shorts on one disc. We want at least eight shorts per disc. Almost all the shorts are under 18 minutes. 18 minutes times 8 shorts equals 144 minutes. There are 97 Curly shorts. So you can have 12 discs with the last one having nine shorts.
I hope a studio out there will release this sometime.

How many Versions of "Disorder InThe Court" do we really need?,
By ferrell (colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Three Stooges - Stooges on the Run (Color) (DVD)
why do we need another dvd with "Disorder In The Court" on it? this short is the most common three stooges short to find anywhere,in fact I would bet you that there have been 1000 dvds/videos of this one short over the last 20 years,and to top it off this is the third colorized version of it ,one colorized version of it was released just a year and a half ago,and to top it off all of these shorts have been released officially on other dvd's the only differance is that these are colorized,there are still close to 100 three stooges shorts still left in the can,including the larry,moe,and joe years,and some more moe,larry and shemp shorts (pre and post death ones including a feature film with shemp that is still collecting dust somewhere),yes most of the moe larry and curly ones have been released,but there are still a little bit left..my point is to stop re-re-releasing the same shorts and dig up more shorts in the vaults,ALL the larry,moe,and Joe shorts could easly fit on a two disc set,now as far as the colorization goes,I don't mind having an option to see them in both color and b&w just as long as they stop releasing the same shorts over and over again,and for pete's sake put more that 4 shorts on the discs? I remember when the discs had 8 shorts then went down to 5,now they are at a measly 4 shorts (which have been released before),some one needs to bury "Disorder In The Court" for a few years,don't get me wrong it's a funny short but I can go to the dollar bin at walmart and get it (b&w and color)then go down the street to familly dollar and pick it up again for a dollar,well you get the point,let's see a larry moe and joe dvd set,and the rest of the curly ones and the shemp ones released (including the shemp movie)....
