Stooging could be a hazardous profession...
In "Gem of a Jam" (1943), the table Curly's on tilts too fast and his head hits the window sill.
The gash required nine stitches. He immediately returned to work.
"Heavenly Daze" (1939) director Jules White assured Moe that a pen gag wouldn't hurt Larry.
It did. The pen deeply punctured Larry's forehead, and Moe took off after White.
Ironically, Moe sustained the most on-set injuries.
A blast of gunk to the face in "Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise" (1939) required medical attention to Moe's eyes.
In "Self-Made Maids" (1950), a twisted ankle has Moe diving out of camera range to save the shot.
He hits his head on a bed frame and is knocked cold.
In "Pardon My Scotch" (1935), Moe does a pratfall that results in several broken ribs.
He rises and finishes the shot before passing out. The rest of the scene was filmed later.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
