Die Stooges - Drei Vollpfosten drehen ab

In the film, Moe is in charge of the seed money. In reality, Moe Howard kept track of all of The Three Stooges' finances--Larry Fine liked to play the horses and Curly Howard would spend much of his money on women. So Moe made sure that some of their money was invested for when their careers ended. Moe himself retired a wealthy man.

When Larry and Curly reunite with Moe on the Jersey Shore set, the producer who got Moe on the show is surprised to see there are three of them, conveniently forgetting he was watching all three together on stage before Larry and Curly walked off and he gave Moe the part.

Right before the end credits, 2 actors posing as the Farrelly Brothers appear on screen to deliver a "Don't Try This At Home" announcement. Also, towards the end of the closing credits, there is a music video featuring The Three Stooges and 'Jennifer Hudson'.

The UK release was cut, the distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that their preferred PG classification could be obtained by making cuts in five sequences. These were to remove four sequences showing everyday objects being used in a potentially dangerous manner that young children may copy (a vegetable peeler used on a man's head, a cheese grater used on a man's foot, hair tongs used on a woman's tongue and a man's head in a microwave) and a line of dialogue about teaching children to play with matches. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the recommended cuts had been made and the film was classified PG.
