jlthornb51 Perhaps the Stooges' finest work, this is a superb example of the trio at their very best. They outdo all bast efforts and enhance their legend with this, their last released film With a bit more sophistication and in many ways much more cerebral in its concept, this is comedy that will simply delight everyone. Obviously, this Stooges film had a particular influence upon Mel Brooks when he produced his own classic Western comedy, Blazing Saddles. However, no one has nor will succeeded in bringing a funnier and entertaining Western spoof to the screen than the Stooges did with their 1965 effort, The Outlaws is Coming.
Michael Morrison Some grown-up dialog -- "Look at all those fighting Indians" (and if you don't get the joke, then you never heard the original story about the Custer memorial) -- far-above-average acting and just generally good production values elevate this Stooges movie.Of course there is the usual Stooges schtick, without which we would feel terribly bereft, and Joe DeRita shows he is a superb Stooge.Emil Sitka played three parts! As is mentioned elsewhere, he had been a "Fourth Stooge" for so many pictures, he was slated to become a Third Stooge, to replace the ill Larry Fine, but no movie ever got produced.That is a shame for him and for us, for us who loved the Stooges, and especially for us who loved him.Most of the cast members, except for Adam West, were not very well known, but they showed some understated acting ability that proved their talent and demonstrated how good a Stooges movie could be.The guys were lucky. So many other comics and comedy groups or teams declined, but their last picture might well be their best.I hope everyone will get a chance to see this, for the sheer fun of it, and for the chance to evaluate the Three Stooges and their work.
Mark Honhorst This 1965 film was the last film the Stooges made for Columbia Pictures, and in my opinion, it is the last good film they ever made. They have a 1970 film called Kook's Tour that just wasn't very funny, or even complete. Here's the plot: The Three Stooges are magazine photographers who, along with their boss, (Adam West) ride out into the west to save herds of buffalo that are being killed off by Rance Roden (Don Lamond), who plans to take over the entire West.While the picture follows the same formula of earlier Stooge movies with Curly Joe where The Stooges are older men helping a young guy save the day and fall in love with some girl, this time the guy is Adam West! It also features real stooge mayhem similar to their older work, not just toned down family entertainment like many of their later movies. This movie also has superior jokes and gags than their other Curly Joe films as well. I've seen all of the Curly Joe movies except "Have Rocket, Will Travel", and this is certainly the best of the bunch.
tforbes-2 I am not disappointed by this film. For a Stooge movie, it seems very much a product of its time, very modern in its tone. For one, you have Sixties icons Adam West and Henry Gibson, the latter playing a Native American educated at the University of Alabama, complete with Southern drawl! And Mr. Gibson is smarter than the dumb outlaws he is dealing with, to boot! Oh, and Curly Joe is funny in this scene, too! Watch also for at least two Beatles references, as well as references to the environment. Maybe the Stooges were slowing down by 1965, but they are still a joy to watch. And there are certainly many funny sequences as well. Definitely fun to watch!
