Injuries on the set of Three Stooges shorts

(1/3) > >>

Shemp:
I did a search and couldn't find a thread on this.  I apologize if there is one and I missed it.  We all know that the boys were injured regularly.  Most of them are well known and we know exactly which episodes and when - the football pile up (doubles injured actually, but you know the story), the fountain pen in Larry's head, Moe's ribs when he fell from the table, Curly falling down the elevator shaft, Moe getting soot in his eyes from an exhaust pipe, etc. 

But then there's some I've read about that weren't clearly associated with an episode, and I bet you guys know.  Here's some of those that I remember reading about:

- Larry running into the wrong part of brick wall and getting knocked out instead of going through the fake bricks
- Shemp cutting his head on a door with blood coming down his forehead (after the scene) and saying "waddya know, catsup!"
- Moe breaking his nose in a revolving door
- References to chipped teeth
- Larry getting his nose broken by a mallet handle

Anyone know in which episodes these happened?  We can also use this thread to discuss Three Stooges injuries in general.

CRASH GOES THE HASH?

Shemp:
I think you are right!!!  Look at the 8:48 mark in Crash Goes the Hash below.  It doesn't look like there are any props involved with that door that he gets his nose stuck in.  This could very well be the scene that Moe breaks his nose in: 

Big Chief Apumtagribonitz:
In his autobiography, Moe claims he got a chipped tooth from a triple slap by Milton Berle on some T V show.

Shemp:
Oh yes, you are right, I forgot about that.  I think his ring hit Moe's tooth or something like that.
