Hot Ice is a good example of a bad idea. Columbia Pictures took two Three Stooges shorts from seven years earlier, added a little bit of new footage, and release it as a new film.

Stone Age Romeos – a recycling of the Threee Stooges short film, “I’m a Monkey’s Uncle” with Moe, Larry, Shemp, Emil Sitka

Pardon My Backfire (1953) starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard, Benny Rubin

In Pardon My Backfire, bank robbers go to the Three Stooges’ auto shop to repair their get-away car. Then, the Stooges hear a radio broadcast about the hold-up & suspect their new customers.

For Crimin’ Out Loud (1956) starring the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard), Emil Sitka, Christine McIntyre

For Crimin’ Out Loud begins with the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard) being inept criminal forensic scientists, with slapstick coming fast and furious. Oddly, Larry is tending to stand up for himself more than usual – to no effect. A mouse and toupee do the usual “parrot in a skull bit,” and soon Councilman Goodrich (Emil Sitka) calls for their help. And that’s virtually the end of the new material for the short film. The rest is taken from Who Done It?

Three Stooges short film Blunder Boys (1955) starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard

Synopsis of Blunder Boys

In a parody of then then-popular Dragnet series, Moe, Larry and Shemp play the role of inept detectives, who after serving in the war go to college where they are inept students studying criminology, and after graduating (with the lowest possible honors) they try to earn their positions on the police force by capturing “The Eel” – but he’s too slippery!
