THE CHAMPS STEP OUT Max Baer and Slapsy Maxie Rosenbloom 

Thanks for showing this rare film. I've never seen one of the Baer-Rosenbloom films and have wondered about them for many years. I grew up in Max Baer's town (Livermore CA) and used to go to Max Baer Park as a kid.

They should remake this with Mike Tyson and Butterbean.

4:10-4:20 The only surviving footage of Slapsy Maxie Rosenbloom boxing. 10 seconds of goofy shadow boxing.

Damn. Excellent fight scenes. Not bad at all.

Slapsy also had a bit on a old radio show called "Duffy's tavern". He played a guy getting a job doing chores in the bar for 10 cents a day. But he was terrible at the job. He messed up most of the tasks he was asked to do,---so he asked for a 100% raise. Duffy: "You got a lot of nerve asking me for a raise when you don't have any experience!" Slapsy: "Yea, but, you gotta understand. The job is twice as hard when you don't know what your doing!" Anybody want to hire a college graduate today? Just sayen. :)

In the winter of 1947, Slapsy Maxie and Max Baer starred together at the Kitty Davis Nightclub on Miami Beach. They had a complete comedy show they performed THREE shows nightly.

Originally released in November 1951.

Max & Max are not that bad for a 2-reel comedy

Great idea using a water mark so no one steels your videos 👍🏻

Max Baer had great martial art skills, breaks guys arm throw brilliant punches ,and disarms girl with the gun into days time would've been Boxing and Ufc Champ easy

What do you need a desk for, if you have no computer? :O

4:23

Remake of one of the Three Stooges shorts

Was this the only short Max Baer did for Columbia?

A shame about that "The Shorts Department" logo being so big. Covers too much of the screen.

Dreadful pacing.

I can't believe they wrote The Shorts Department across the screen --for the whole film! 👎
