20 put of 25. They should use a question about the movie Its a Mad mad World. They had a very short spot in it. Love those guys!

The early Shemp shorts were better than some of the later Curly ones (he was clearly not at his best). By the time Shemp joined the team, the quality was on the decline. A lot of the later shorts were remakes of the earlier ones with liberal use of old footage. I remember watching them in the 50’s and 60’s on TV when they would use the Screen Gems logo and crop the picture to remove any reference to Columbia Pictures.

When Shemp came along there was a lot of stock footage being used.

Too tough for me and a long quiz with 25 questions - I missed one I knew by going too fast but 18/ 25 or 17/25 - neither Is very good

23/25, missed the number of movies done and the Chinese question. I thought "Kook's Tour" was abandoned and the final Stooge movie was "The Outlaws Is Coming!" which featured a pre-"Batman" Adam West.
Their final big screen feature was the "Outlaws is Coming!"
Yes, from 1965, with pre-Batman Adam West(1928-2017). 😁😁😁😁😁
