Corrected entry: In the scene where the Stooges jump off the roof, in slow motion you can see 3 dummies fall and land on the actor below but in the next shot the real Stooges actors are on top of him as they get up.

Correction: This is more of a call-back to the original shorts. There were many times where there were obvious dummies used for scenes similar to this.

Frizzo the Clown

Corrected entry: When Moe was a kid he had blue eyes, but when he grew up he had brown eyes.

Correction: It's not uncommon for eye colors to change. When my niece was a little girl, she had bright blue eyes but now they're more hazel in color.

Jeff Swanson

Corrected entry: When Moe throws the octopus at Larry at Teddy and Lydia's anniversary party, Larry ducks and it hits someone standing off to his side. But based on the directionality of Moe's throw, it should have hit the couple directly behind him.

Cubs Fan

Correction: Moe simply had an errant throw and wouldn't have hit Larry, even if he didn't duck.

Corrected entry: As Teddy goes to take a picture of the trio on his iPhone, he is on the iPhone's home screen. Though a shutter noise is heard, he never enters the camera app to take the photo.

Correction: You can see before he takes the pictures the phone is already in camera mode. Before he takes the picture you can see the guys moving around on the phone screen.

Bishop73

Corrected entry: The bell falls from the roof onto Sister Mary Mengele and knocks her out cold. She falls to the ground and there is a metal bucket about three feet from her head. When Moe and Curly grab her under the arms and slide her further away from the building, there is now a fire hydrant with a tuft of grass that her head is banged against.

Correction: The fire hydrant is always there. You see her standing in front of it, although several feet away, before getting hit by the bell.

Bishop73

Corrected entry: In the scene where the three stooges are driving the golf cart, round the corner the handle from the lawnmower is extended and knocks over the ladder with the nun. The next shot shows them getting out of the cart and the handle is no longer sticking out of the side of the cart.

dwindle

Correction: You can see that when the handle, which is collapsible, hits the ladder, it folds over. So even before the next shot, the handle is no longer sticking out.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: In the long shot of Sister Bernice as a lifeguard at the pool, she is twirling a whistle with her right hand. But in the close-up shot of her a moment later, the whistle has gone.

More trivia for The Three Stooges

Question: I don't remember if it was mentioned in the movie, but are the three stooges brothers or friends?

Rydersriot87

Chosen answer: The original Three Stooges was comprised of two brothers, Moe Howard and Curly Howard, and also Larry Fine, who was unrelated. After Curley suffered a debilitating stroke in the 1950s, his brother, Shemp Howard, took over as the third Stooge. In this movie they're just friends.

raywest

Answer: In the film, they grow up as friends, but it is a bit misleading, considering they were all babies put on the doorstep together. That WOULD make one confused as to the answer to that question.
