Whoops, I'm an Indian! (1936)

Very disappointing...

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

"Whoops, I'm an Indian!" is a relatively early Three Stooges cartoon. It is basically the usual. Moe and Larry are on board and Curly is also still there. Director is Del Lord and he made several of these Stooges short films. Runtime is the usual again too with slightly over 17 minutes. The trio once again gets in trouble while trying to cheat during gambling and their way of hiding this time is by dressing up as Indians. But sooner than later, love gets in the way in the most unpleasant way for Curly. Oh my, maybe it would have been better to stand up for what they did and avoid all the complications and chaos that ensues. But they would not be the Stooges if they did so right? Anyway, I personally have seen better Stooges than this one here. The comedy is not spot-on and it is really more loud and chaotic than truly entertaining. i give it a thumbs down.

*Spoiler/plot- Whoops, I'm an Indian, 1936. The Stooges prove how the West was funny with their crooked gambling scheme exposed by the townspeople so the boys disguise themselves as Indians to escape a posse.*Special Stars- The Three Stooges: Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard. Bud Jamison, Elaine Waters, Beatrice Blynn *Theme- Crime doesn't pay, but is funny.*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W, Columbia Pictures, film short, pre WW2,*Emotion- A rather slow film with the low-key unexciting acting of the supporting cast, but somewhat saved by The Stooge's energy. The comedy situations are too expected and staged so boring. It's not the best from The Stooges.

"Whoops, I'm an Indian!" falls short of being an "A+" Three Stooges comedy, but it still has its funny moments. Directed by Del Lord, it is one of a handful of Stooge films that casts the boys as scoundrels who run afoul of the law (whereas a majority of the time, the boys portray good guys out to help others).Highlights from this short include the following (if you have not yet seen it, don't read any further). At the film's opening, Larry uses a concealed horseshoe magnet to the Stooges' advantage for their crooked roulette game, but they don't get away with it for too long. When Moe asks Curly what he did with all the money the Stooges won from their shady roulette game, Curly replies, "I threw it away so I could run faster." A bit later, when Moe spots Larry with a bundle of supplies, he asks Larry if he stole them. Larry answers, "What do you think I am, a crook? I just took it." During the fishing scene, Moe keeps catching fish that are not the requisite size for three men to eat ("What are you doin' out of bed? Go back and get your big brother....So you're the big brother, huh? Go fetch your old man!"). Also during this scene, Curly accidentally hooks himself and then gets clubbed by Moe when he suggests baiting the fish with chewing tobacco. And finally, the boys hop aboard a canoe and cross the lake with one paddle stroke."Whoops, I'm an Indian!" is not a big winner in the Three Stooges film library, but aside from the highlights mentioned above, this short benefits greatly from the appearance of Bud Jamison as a burly French-Canadian fur trapper named Pierre. Unshaven, with a thick accent and a hot temper, Pierre becomes a perfect foil for the Buckskin Stooges, who soon get themselves into more trouble with their Indian disguises and ultimately wind up in jail, where they belong.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! This is one of The Three Stooges' best western shorts! Its very funny. Bud Jamison puts on a fantastic performance! His accent is very authentic and his personality is cool. There are many hilarious scenes here including the fishing scenes! I seriously recommend this Three Stooges short to all Three Stooges fans!
