Chiklis was an underrated genius. He pulled off Curly perfectly

[@Sigma0283]

It’s heartbreaking seeing Curly having his stroke on screen. In reality, he suffered his stroke shortly after walking off screen for the last time. When the time came for the pie fight Curly was called for, but he didn’t respond. Moe went looking for him and found Curly in his dressing room in a chair with his head slouched over, all he could do was cry. Moe immediately knew what was happening and quietly alerted the director who quickly rewrote the scene. Nobody other than Moe, Larry and the director knew what happened to Curly until after filming was finished.

[@mattjones7621]

You're right. His final scene as 'Curly' was when Moe told him off at the party they attended. I don't remember how much time passed, exactly, but Larry and Moe had to finish the rest of the film without him.

[@greenmask111893]

😔

[@DrakusRecords]

Yeah, the scene where he cries after Moe visits him to give him the letter to sign his likeness away was so sad. Very memorable scene and Michael Chiklis did an excellent job playing Curly. I know this movie wasn't entirely accurate, but movies based on real events ever are.

[@ucproductions5810]

Yeah. Curly is my favorite Stooge, so seeing him go limp like that... jeez.

[@ucproductions5810]

During the filming of "Half-Wits Holiday", Curly was afflicted by a stroke. He was replaced by his older brother Shemp when it was clear that he was too ill to return to the act.

[@Official_Twix]

He actually had a stroke off set in the director's chair on Half-Wits Holiday. This movie is so inaccurate. Moe called him for the next scene, but Curly never came. So Moe went to see what was up, and Curly was limp in the seat, his face distorted, with tears in his eyes, unable to speak. Moe quietly alerted the director, and such, and Curly got rushed to the hospital. Moe em finshed up the scenes, and went to go visit Curly at the hospital. Curly had very high blood pressure, and there was no medicine to help him back then. The doctors couldn't get his blood pressure down, so he ended up having more strokes that eventually took his life. But throughout those post stroke days. Curly still had a smile on his face. Got married, and had a beautiful daughter. His wife took very good care of him. Even Moe em said that she was the best woman Curly had ever had.

[@melissacooper4482]

@@Official_Twix I read that account you described in Moe's autobiography. But I also read that Harry Cohn originally didn't want Shemp as Curly's replacement because he felt he looked too much like his brother Moe. Moe then gave him the ultimatum that he either hire Shemp or there would be no three stooges. The movie didn't potray that part at all.

Evan Handler in particular who played Larry, the voice was spot on. Curly was my favourite & it was sad when he died so young at 49. I also think Joe De Rita was the best replacement when Joe Besser left, he was the worst I thought. Most of the 2000 movie was filmed in Australia with many shots in Sydney. I think Mel Gibson was executive producer.

[@DJReyzor357]

I remember growing up always thinking to myself where's Curly whenever I saw Shemp and the 2 other Stooges... It wasn't until the early 1990's in my local library, there was this small colored magazine that had The 3 Stooges, John Wayne, Lucille Ball and other Hollywood Legend's on it that was about Hollywood unknown stories and or facts. I constantly would see that magazine or small book but would quickly looked at it thinking about reading it but thought too myself I'm not interested about John Wayne since I was a Clint Eastwood fan, until finally when I was printing papers I pickup the magazine and started reading it and was shocked to find out that Moe, Shemp and Curly were actually brothers and real life and that Curly had passed away in 1952 than Shemp passed away in 1955.. I gained a whole perspective on the other Stooges and my 📼 tapes of the Stooges, I recorded on TBS, TNT, and the cartoon 📼 my mom had bought me growing up.

[@andrewfutterman3346]

I enjoyed the 2000 Three Stooges biopic, even though there are a lot of inaccuracies. Some of them, such as Curly's stroke happening in the middle of a take (it actually occurred off screen when they were getting ready to shoot the pie fight scene), were most likely done on purpose for dramatic effect. But one of the biggest ones, which I actually didn't know about until the other day, was that in this film, they learn about the death of Ted Healy during the filming of "Disorder in the Court" (after they finished shooting the scene where Curly takes the oath, and the judge keeps telling him to take off his hat), and their response was rather casual. Disorder in the Court was filmed in April 1936, and released on May 30 of that same year, however, Healy died on December 21, 1937, which was over a year later. Another inaccuracy in the 2000 biopic was Joe Besser refusing to take a pie in the face during the filming of "Pies and Guys" and walking off set (and quitting the act). In actuality, while Joe had the shortest tenure as a Stooge, and it was stipulated in his contract that he not be hit too hard, he actually was with the Stooges for two years and shot 16 short films with them. The reason for his departure was actually due to the shorts department at Columbia being shut down, afterwards Joe's wife had a heart attack, and he left the group in order to care for her while Moe and Larry went on a personal appearance tour. Not only that but "Pies and Guys" was actually a literal scene-by-scene re-make of "Half-Wits Holiday" (the film that they were working on when Curly had his stroke) and the footage of the pie fight from that film was re-used for "Pies and Guys," so Joe wouldn't have appeared in those scenes anyway.
