When the boys first enter the rocket and climb down (up?) to enter the Pilot's cabin, it sounds like Curly's "woo-woo-woo!" as Curly Joe makes his descent.
And speaking of Curly Joe, once they find the "pilot" and just before the Stooges exit the now-righted ship, it looks like the monkey takes a chomp of Joe's hand!
The producers of "Have Rocket Will Travel" dubbed in audio from previously released Columbia comedy shorts starring Curly and Shemp.

Cheers!
Terrific site, stevenbyczek. Thanks for that!

You're welcome! I've been a lifelong Stooge fan and I highly recommend the Stooge filmography on that particular site. Check out the "Goofs" section for "Have Rocket Will Travel". I find them most fascinating! :-)
Cheers!
Sincerely,

I remember when this particular title was released and the promos for it were shown quite often on TV. I realy wanted to go to the theater to see it and checked out the poster under the "Coming Soon" banner at the Starland.
The previews looked so intriguing, my "friends" up on the Big Screen at last (to me). And that robot thing with the many arms!
Being a child of the Space Age, anything with rockets and outer space was of paramount interest and the frosting on that cake was the inclusion of The 3 Stooges!
It was years before I finally got to see it. The movie came and went and for whatever reason was not able to get to the local when it arrived.
Nevertheless, that robot thing was the stuff of nightmares for me! What I had perceived as pincher-like claws, that flashing, spinning "eyeball", the flailing arms and its enormous "body" gave me the creeps and I actually worried for the Stooges.
Well, I was seven.
Could be why I like this movie now. It's a missing piece of my childhood.
Thanks, again, Steve B.

And are U aware, supreme Stooge lovers, there still is no dvd available of this magnificent work of art?
Hoarse whispers are not suitable for a desert environment.
In the dark about that, TDF. I do have it on VHS. It may be another while before I throw it on though.
"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."
Columbia released this film as a part of the "Three Stooges Ultimate Collection" in 2012. Kind of expensive, though.
Thanks for that, jcaraway. You know, The Three Stooges were a fun part of my childhood and I still enjoy watching their shorts when they turn up on TV.
I don't know if I would shell out Big Bucks for their stuff like the collection you brought up, but if they ever came my way as a gift I'd be glad to have them and consider the giver most thoughtful.
As it is, I have had some of their Big Screen movies on VHS, given to me as very welcomed and thoughtful gifts! I'm good with that and the occasional showings on TV.
Laughter is the best medicine and those Stooge shorts could put Big Pharmacy out of business!
"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."
Yeah, I already had most of the stuff on that collection, but I saw it for a reasonable price at Costco, and this would basically complete my collection, (except for the Ted Healy shorts and some other random roles in films) so I decided I might as well get it. Buying just the discs I needed off of Amazon would have been about the same price anyway.
The Healy shorts come up on YouTube if you have not seen them and would like to sample them before sinking a lot of bread into them. And most disks often are up for bid on auction sites like e-Bay.
"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."
Yeah...would be cool to have an "offical" release, though. I have a couple of them on dvd. I heard they recently rediscovered "Hello Pop", so maybe someone will throw together a collection. Not holding my breath, though.
The recent re-make or homage (I didn't see it) didn't do anything to pump up the real trio's stock.
Still, if there is money to be made, all of the shorts will be released.
"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."
I saw the remake. It had it's moments, but nothing to write home about.
Wow! You saw it, eh? I was just not that curious!
"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."
Don't bother, unless you're interested in seeing how new actors play the stooges. The guy who plays Moe actually did a spot on performance, but the other two just didn't cut it.
I always thought that Larry was the under-rated Stooge. He demonstrated some very subtle bits. He didn't just stand around waiting on the others. He made faces, gestures, sometimes overt body movements that really added to the scenes.
"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."
Get got more stuff do do when Shemp took Curly's place.
I liked Shemp a lot. He was sure different from Jerome, but he had lots of good bits.
"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."
Shemp didn't steal every scene like Curly did, giving Moe and Larry more to do, but he could still be out of control and hilarious, just in a different way than ?Curly.
I must agree with you, jcaraway. It is doubtful that they would have reached the level of success had Shemp been in the act before Curly. I don't guess Jerome would have even gotten the chance to dance if it had been that way.
In some ways, Shemp's antics reminded me of those used by The Ritz Brothers, an act I never much cared for. I thought they tried too hard. However, with Shemp, on the other hand, they worked. He was a natural.
And he seemed like the kind of fellow that you would want as a friend or at the very least a neighbor.
