Friday Movie Idea: Stooges meet Saw
July 6, 2012 by William K. Wolfrum
So here’s an idea for a movie. I saw that for some reason the Farrelly brothers thought a modern “Three Stooges” movie was a good idea. It tanked and got awful reviews, tho.
So the idea here is to make a sequel to that movie, but have it so the Stooges get abducted by a crazed, cannibalistic serial killer. Throughout the movie, the Stooges try their humor bits and then the killer cuts off their fingers to make them stop, and so on. In the end, all three Stooges die heinously and are devoured. The final shot is Shemp & Curly Joe at the funeral crying their eyes out and swearing revenge.
The theme behind the movie is that you should be nicer to your friends. I think people would watch and come away with something.

Better yet, how about casting them as The Human Centipede?
This is an excellent idea. Also, I have an idea for a competing picture.
Burt Reynolds, Tom Selleck, and Ernest Borgnine are golfing buddies in San Diego. And then the zombie apocalypse starts, and they have to club their way from San Diego to NYC (for whatever reason…some stock writer somewhere can just make something up). It’s a buddy picture about the importance of friendship and teamwork. Maybe even throw in a romantic angle with Shirley Maclaine or Dolly Parton. Or both. Either way. As long as Ernest Borgnine has a prominent role. He needs a big-budget blockbuster to add to his career before he goes.
