Customer Reviews of Three Stooges - G.I. Stooge

WOW!!!!!!!
This DVD is amazing. I'm serious!! Columbia actually put a lot of effort into making this DVD. The quality is astounding. It looks like Columbia finally opened the doors to the room where they keep the original 35mm prints. All shorts look really good. On the VHS, Columbia used bad prints for "Back From The Front" and "No Dough Boys", but not here. Columbia used the best prints out there. I guess Columbia read all of the complaints people wrote here and they finally got the message. Out of all The Three Stooges DVDs that were made, this one looks the best. So, go ahead and buy it. You won't believe that it was Columbia who made this DVD.

Not As Bad As Everyone Says It Is...
I agree with what many people have said that Columbia Pictures could be handling the Stooges DVD releases better than they have been recently. Someone hit the nail on the head with the suggestion that Columbia should release the shorts in some sort of order (chronological, by films featuring the "Third Stooge", etc) instead of releasing them with a running "theme".

In my opinion, the overall quality of "G.I. Stooge" is not as bad as people have said, although I do agree that Columbia should be taking more care and paying more attention to the quality on future releases. Some of my all-time favorite shorts are on this disc, including the seldom-seen "No Dough Boys"; while this film doesn't rank amongst their best, it still has much of the Stooges' sardonic humor, particularly in their portrayal here of Japanese soliders. Moe is VERY convincing in this role, both in appearance and dialect; rather unheard of for a film to be released while the country was at war with Japan at the time!

While I'm a big fan of the older shorts featuring Curly, I agree with everyone who commented that Columbia should also release more (but preferably all) of the films featuring Shemp and especially Joe Besser. To many, Besser may not have been very "Stooge-like", but that doesn't mean he wasn't funny; some of my favorite Stooge episodes are with Besser. I think he more than deserves a fair shake!

I enjoyed this DVD, as I'm sure many Stooge fans will! It also wouldn't hurt for every Stooge fan to tell Columbia Pictures what you think and what you want to see in the future; there's always strength in numbers, and persistence DOES pay off. If they receive enough comments/complaints, they'll get the message.

Hey Columbia, Do You See What Everyone Else is Doing?
OK, every other DVD compilation is made up of entire seasons, so why can`t Columbia release the Stooge shorts by year & in release date order? Would it really be that difficult to do? Of course not. Columbia is just out to rake in as much money as possible. They don`t care what the quality of the product is. The VHS tapes shouldn`t look better than the DVD.
