Movie Connections:

Edited from Hold That Lion! (1947)

Another remake that could've been better.

LOOSE LOOT (1953) is not the best remake The Three Stooges have ever made. You can hardly even call this a remake. There's just reused footage from HOLD THAT LION! (1947) in the first five minutes. And the new footage is unusual, because most of it takes place in one room at the theatre. For some odd reason, Shemp isn't his usual funny self in the new footage, he, acts meaner that usual. "That guy must have iron in his bod," Shemp says after he sticks a sword in Slipp's (Kenneth MacDonald) rear end. Overall, an olay remake, but nothing special.

Grade: C

Footage from HOLD THAT LION! was also used in BOOTY AND THE BEAST (1953), the previous short.
