 In the scene where the Stooges as football players pile on to some  photographers, director McCarey, Ray (qv) wanted the Stooges to do  the stunt themselves. They refused, saying it was too dangerous and  to get stuntmen to do it. McCarey assured them they wouldnt be  hurt, but they still refused. McCarey got three stuntmen to do it,  and two of the three, as well as the actors playing the  photographers, wound up with broken arms and legs.
