In Space Ship Sappy, the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Joe Besser) answer a job advertisement, and find out that the job is to serve as assistant to a scientist and his beautiful daughter on their secret trip to Sunev ("It’s Venus spelled backwards!")—and soon they are blasting off. There are several cute moments, such as Moe opening a port hole only to be hit by an egg from a flying bird, and the Stooges start exploring once they land, only to find beautiful women. Hungry beautiful women. Hungry, beautiful, cannibal women. After failing to teach the lethal lovelies how to kiss (Moe redefines what a ‘hot kiss’ is), the Amazon Cannibals from Venus (boy, does that sound like a bad movie title) tie up the boys are start tickling them—in order to tickle them to death.
At that moment, they are frightened by a Venusian space monster (that looks amazingly like a gila monster) and the girls run away, while the Stooges escape back to the ship. They accidentally knock out the scientist and his daughter, and have to pilot the ship back home themselves.
One of the lesser Three Stooges short films.
Funny movie quotes from Space Ship Sappy (1957)—starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Joe Besser
Moe (Moe Howard): Get ahold of that rock ‘n roll dialog.
Joe (Joe Besser): They must have heard of Elvis Presley.
Moe (Moe Howard): They don’t know how to kiss.
Joe (Joe Besser): Let’s teach ‘em!
Larry (Larry Fine): I’m a natural! Whenever I go down the street, people say ‘Look at that kisser!’
Moe (Moe Howard): I wonder what made them run.
Larry (Larry Fine): They probably got a good look at your kisser. You rated this page:
