"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.

Whoops I'm an Indian (1936) ** (out of 4) Lazy short from The Three Stooges has them wanted by the law so they dress as Indians but then run into a man whose wife left him for one. The jokes here are pretty standard and routine and there really weren't any laugh at loud moments. The fishing scene is probably the highlight but even this wasn't that funny.Now available on Columbia's 2-disc set, which features over 20 shorts, all digitally remastered and looking better than ever. If you're a fan of the Stooges then this is a must own.

This is another Stooges short with a Western setting, which has some nice backwoods scenery but is otherwise routine. Here, the boys are swindlers run out of town by the customers of a saloon; they subsequently have to fend for themselves, where we get a good gag which has Curly trying to procure food by going underwater and shooting at the fish! Eventually, they reach a log-cabin the property of one of their 'victims' and whose wife has been abducted by Indians; coincidentally, The Stooges disguise themselves as Native Americans which, of course, incurs the trapper's wrath (and also gives the film its title!). At the finale, our heroes are back in town believing their Indian disguise will fool the locals but, on the run once again soon after, they unwittingly lock themselves up in jail!

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!
