Other mistake: In "Violent Is The Word For Curly" (1938), the Stooges are mistaken for college professors. They are teaching a group of students at the all-girls school Mildew College to sing "Swingin' The Alphabet." During the song, the girls sing "Curly's a dope." The dean had introduced the three men as Professors Feinstein, Frankfurter and VonStupor - so how did the girls know Curly's name?
Factual error: In "The State Vs. Chip Douglas", Ernie finds his missing 1914-D penny when it falls out of his pocket. A close-up shows an Indian head penny lying on the floor. The problem is that Indian head pennies were not minted after 1909.
