Okay Doug, (or others with a list)

This may be a long list, but,

1. Does anybody have a full list of Stooge shorts, mostly by Columbia, (as they released the best quality Super 8 stooge shorts, of course), that were released on Super 8.

(I would love to find a full 400ft release of "Hold That Lion")

2. Were any of the feature films that starred the Stooges
ever released as a full feature? (they did full length features folks!)

3. How about those rarities, like the 2X400ft "Stooges Go West" (with Shemp), I think that was a Walton release, but I'm not sure.

Osi,

Here's a Three Stooges list from May of 2006.

Thanks Doug.

I was sad to see that "Hold That Lion" was not on the list, as it was the ONLY Stooge short to have all four stooges in it.

Shemp had just joined the group a few shorts before this none and they are on a train. They are going through a passenger car. They hear some strange "snoring", they lift up a hat of a passenger,

... and it's Curly!

They three of them, (Shemp moe and Larry), look at each other in disbelief, then proceed to the next train car.

This was Curly's last appearance in a Stooge short given he had suffered a stroke --

Interestingly, there was one more stooge short (during Shemps reign) that Curly was supposed to be in, but the scene was cut out shortly before the film was released.

All that exists are a few snapshots from the footage. Curly plays a most naughty chef.
