Hello everybody,

I need your help!
i am looking for a Movie -Scene, where a guy is used as a human batterin Ram to open a Door.

The guy can also be thrown at the door, most important is: The Door has to crush in this Stunt. I have seen a scene like this a couple of months ago, dont know , if it was a Three Stooges Film or something else.... can anybody help me, an tell me, where i can find a scene like this? It can also be another movie, not only a Three Stooges.

Off the top of my head, the first film, Stooge-wise, that I can think of is '3 Dumb Clucks.' Moe and Larry use Curly as a battering ram to bust a hole in the wall, so they can break out of jail and keep their father from marrying 'that dame.' (And they aim to do it, too. That's what they aim to do. 'They aim). ....Hope this helps.

Thank you, but i am looking for a scene, where a wood door gets broken. I think in this scene from 3 Dumb Clucks, there will be stone walls in the jail, not?

FRIGHT NIGHT (1947)

That one is especially brutal, because the bad guys are doing it to Shemp! (Moe would probably be the one to do it).

Isn't this gag in a couple of other ones w. Shemp?

Yes, very brutal! Shemp's eyebrows were never the same again.

This is from IMDB bio of Curly-
"Contrary to popular legend, the actor made a second cameo appearance as the face of an attacking bat in "Spooks!", a Three Stooges short from 1953. Unlike his silent appearance as a train passenger in his only other cameo- here, he offers his trademark, "Woowoowoowoowoo...", but his face looks starkly different than the one to which we'd all become accustomed. It was released posthumously (Curly died in 1952), and is the only film by the Stooges, which is in 3D."

The Youtube post of Spooks is a bit fuzzy, so can anyone confirm or deny?

(I know Pardon My Backfire was also in 3D, so that part is wrong, anyways)

100% bull. Shemp was the bat.

SPOOKS was filmed 16 months after Curly died.

They do it in The Ghost Talks, but the door doesn't open. It looks painful though since the door is solid wood.

Vol. 1; that information is provided in the "Notes" field of the DVD's entry in the Videography.

That is so obviously Shemp's face on the bat. What makes that scene so funny is that when Shemp says "What a hideous monstrous face", he is basically talking about himself, while Moe & Larry both look from the bat to Shemp & then at the bat again.

Whoever it was on IMDB that said that it was Curly (or anyone else for that matter) must be some kind of a "stupid imbecilic fool".

I couldn't find the bit about 'Spooks' on his bio on IMDB. I read it twice, and still couldn't find it. Maybe it was fixed.

I clicked on your link & that trivia section has more than one piece of misinformation. In that last item about "Spooks", it not only says that it's Curly in that clip, but that he "offers his trademark Woowooowooowooo". However, anyone who actually watches that short will see Shemp's face on the bat while he offers his trademark "Eebeebeebee, ruff, ruff, ruff".

While I'm nitpicking, a slightly less glaring error is in the section about the song, "The Curly Shuffle". The name of the band that performed that song is the "Jump 'N The Saddle Band" (not Jump in the Saddle), and they were a Chicago area blues band (not a comedy group) with six guys including a horn section. I am a proud owner of their CD and therefore I know whereof I speak. In fact, it's been awhile since I played that CD. I think I'll just have to pop it in the CD player as soon as I finish typing this post.

Because any moron can have access to IMDB records and edit them, this moron deleted that from the 'trivia' section of his entry.

They have to verify first before it's removed. Just like how they verified the info before they posted it. Sorry, easy to speak sarcasm, just hard to type it.

StoogeTrio · **Reply #893 on:** August 27, 2009, 10:05:27 AM

I agree the bats face and voice is Shemp but the first time I heard the "ruff ruff ruff" it threw me as this was more of a Curly trademark than Shemps. I actually can't remember another short where Shemp "barked" is there any?

Smaug · **Reply #894 on:** September 09, 2009, 09:36:39 PM

I just spent 20 minutes or so trying to figure out what car this is, and that was based on the hood ornament. I couldn't find any other marks on the car that would identify it. I really couldn't find the exact one, but did learn a lot more about hood ornaments! Did you know they are called 'car mascots' in Great Britain!

Anyway, the ornament looks like many other 'wing-ed women', but I couldn't find the exact same one. Some 1920's Plymouths and DeSotos look like they may be it. I think that the hood ornament looks like it was rigged up somehow for Curly's gag, when he puts the rag over the ornament. The other ornaments seem to be more horizontal, not standing up like this one is.

I hope there is a person out there that knows their cars, so they can answer this question.

Which Stooges short includes a scene where two German military men enters a room only to see scuttles going on? One says to the other, "Paskudnik." It may mean "bad boy" in Slovak as well as if it's German.

That would be They Stooge To Conga, where Moe is disguised as Hitler.
