Watch Punchy Cowpunchers For Free

You won't be disappointed!

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

"Punchy Cowpunchers" is a 17-minute live action short film from 1950. It is one of the uncountable works by the Three Stooges from a point in time when Shemp had already taken over for the sick Curly. War was over, so they weren't political anymore and this one here blends in nicely with the wave of American western films from the 1950s. But it is never really memorable sadly. Even the inclusion of supporting actors that showed up in many other Stooges work could not hide how forgettable this one was. Runtime is roughly the same as always with the Stooges shorts and it is in black-and-white as usual too and has sound of course. I like Shemp more than most, so I am a bit disappointed how this one did almost nothing for me. It is one of the least funny Stooges films I have seen and maybe the reason is that the western component was almost more in the center here than the comedy. Then again, it's probably one of the biggest challenges to combine these two genres into a quality movies. Writer and director Edwards Bernds (who also worked with the Stooges on other projects and became an Oscar nominee a couple years later) was not successful here. Only worth seeing for the very biggest Stooges fans. I give it a thumbs-down as the bad guys and the girl were just as forgettable as the trio themselves.

This is one of the funniest Stooge westerns ever. It is tightly paced, well directed, and features great characters. I'd almost say the Stooges were out staged by the fumbling Jock Mahoney and the great Christine McIntyre.Christine outdoes her punching Shemp out scene from 'Brideless Groom', by beating up the entire gang one by one. As she claims to be a 'weak defenseless woman', she decks them with one punch, then ladylike she faints on her bed. This was also one of the few Stooge shorts that featured a music soundtrack. I always thought the Stooge shorts would benefit greatly with a music score. Maybe Columbia was just to cheap, as I've seen other comedy shorts from the studio, and they were also wanting for music.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! I think Punchy Cowpunchers is one of the best Three Stooges westerns with Shemp. This one has an all-star cast which includes Jock Mahoney, Christine McIntyre, Kenneth MacDonald, Dick Wessel, Vernon Dent, Emil Sitka, Heinie Conklin, and Joe Palma! All of the actors perform well and each all has a bit of screen time. There some really funny things here and I love it when the Stooges bartenders. If you are a Three Stooges fan and western fan then I strongly recommend that you watch Punchy Cowpunchers today!

The stooges dealing with bad guys was the greatest theme in the Shemp era and it almost always worked out successfully. This is no exception. The stooges trying to act tough in front of three of the killer Dillons was hilarious!Grade: A
