Topic: Disorder in the Court goof

[Waldo Twitchell]

I just submitted a goof after viewing the new DVD transfer of this short. When Moe tightens Curly's head in the letterpress, you can tell it's a dummy head in the close-up shot.

I don't think that really constitutes as a goof since it's blatantly obvious in quite a number of shorts that dummies are used in place of the Stooges.

I've always wondered if it was a dummy or a stunt man in Restless Knights after Moe throws Larry onto the throne.  Not when he is swinging him, just the shot where he hits the throne.  I once accidently paused the movie just as "Larry" was landing on the throne and saw that it was obviously not him.  It's a pretty cool stunt that either had a very well trained stunt man or a very realistic looking dummy.

Yeah, good point locoboy. I've become so accustomed to the sub-par copies in my collection that I'm noticing all sorts of things in the new DVD set. For example, I never noticed the wires attached to the wheel of the letterpress in DITC (listed as a goof) until I got the new DVD.

In the new DVD set, I noticed wires attached to the turn handle on the letter press.  I figured that would be the goof you were talking about.  Well, before I read the post.

I still say the biggest goof from this short is - and my little sister loves to laugh at this - how blatantly obvious it is that the audio and Larry's lips do not match up on the overdramatic..."Oh my stradivarius! My beautiful stradivarius!" haha.

I always thought that was us hearing what Larry was thinking.  He was reacting by his facial expressions, but we are hearing what he is thinking.  I guess that's what I always thought of that.

Yeah, that goof is very obvious. I've always noticed that.

I believe that Rubber Dummy Head is the same one attached to the body  that is supposed to be Shemp falling thru the roof  in Goof On The Roof.   I slo Moe'd it and it looks like Curly falling instead.
