Kook's Tour

[Opencity]

I saw the new video release of "Kook's Tour" and it is a charming little film.
Since the film was transfered from an 8mm film, the sound is a bit tinny and
the color is a bit faded. But otherwise, the production is a leisurely bit of
travelogue fun with the elderly Stooges bumbling about the woods and streams of
Idaho. It is a fascinating and entertaining curio, well-worth checking out.

IMHO, Kook's Tour isn't worth the film it was made on. After watching
it, I can see why it was never released on mass. I peronally think it's
horrible. Aside from the beautiful scenery, there's not one redeeming
quality about it. Don't get me wrong. I love the Stooges and am quite
the Stooge afficianado. However, to view it as a curiosity piece is one
thing, to reccommend it is another thing altogether.

Admittedly, this is not top-notch Stooges by any stretch of the imagination.
But it does close out a long-missing piece of their collective work...and even
bad Stooges is better than no Stooges!

They were where in Idaho? Are you kidding me?

I liked "Kook's Tour" but have not seen it in about 8 years.
I'll be buying a copy on video, it was fun to see the stooges trying to give
it one more shot.
Too bad all the scenery shots had to be put in due to Larry not being able
to continue the film.
It was sold for the home projector at a price of $200 if I'm not mistaken.

Can someone please give me a list of all the feature length films made by
the Stooges?

Does anyone know where it is available on video? Someone previously said
at Walmart, but they don't have it and won't be getting it.

I have an original on Super 8mm film, and the sound is not tinny and the
color not faded. The scenery shots were not put in due to Larry's illness,
they were always a part of the plan, according to Moe's comments in the
small book that came with the film.

I wish they used your print for the video transfer. The Anchor Bay video
release has a tinny soundtrack (it sounds like it was telephoned in) and the
colors are not very vibrant.

At the end of Kook's Tour, Moe speaks about having the Stooges tour Japan. Was
this genuinely considered or was that only wishful thinking?

For a start, you could look to:

http://us.imdb.com/Name?Howard,+Moe+(I)

and weed out all the shorts and solo appearances. You'll probably find
some neat stuff you weren't aware of in the process.
