Laurel & Hardy: Great Guns (Jeep Recon)

got a 30 DVD Box all the way to the 20's (Roach films I think) Laurel & Hardy myself.

you gotta look for it.

Laurel & Hardy is F**king cool forever!!!!!!!!!!!

As a L&H fan, I hate that the later Fox films are all available on DVD but their great Roach films are not (except a handfull)

You're right. No one thought of putting it on DVD or airing on TV lately, because their Fox-period (1941-1951) movies are rubbish. These days only very few people are interested in these L&H misfits. Suppose only die hard fans (such as I) would occasionally want to see them. View some clips of their successfully Roach-period (1926-1940) and you'll see the brilliant comedy talent Arthur Stanley Jefferson and Oliver Norvell "Babe" Hardy.

Stan hated these Fox films. He had no control and thought the scripts were bad - and they were.

this was made after they left Hal Roach. This was an attempt to copy Abbott & Costellos file Buck Privates which was one of the most popular comedies of the year.

the jeep used in the film pre dates the Willys commonly used in the 2nd World War. It is actually one of the early prototypes built in response to the United States Governments requirement for a light recon vehicle prior to the U.S. joining the war. Note the rounded hood, exterior front grille and the externally mounted head lamps.

Hehe, their orders were explicitly not to stop until they reached their destination.
