Yeah, one of the great mysteries in life--for me, anyway--is why Harold "Tiny" Brauer didn't come back for the remake and film some new scenes as Big Mike. Frank Sully as the "new" Big Mike has all the menace of Barney the Dinosaur.
This has to go down as one of the worst recycles--again, Sully sucks as Big Mike, the new footage is once again minimal and has few laughs. Basically, the only good part I can think of is when Sully has his head jammed in the door & the stooges torture him--Sully's whining during that part did get a laugh from me, so maybe he didn't totally suck.
I've always wondered how Shemp must have felt about his favorite short, Fright Night, getting such a shit redux job. In fact, I wonder how all the stooges must have felt about these rehashes. I'm sure the boys knew the final curtain must have been coming on their short film career & how inferior these films were, but they had to soldier on anyway.
Anyway, I'll climb down off my soapbox now...
