Summary: finally
Review: I am happy to see a remastered "flying deuces" being released here in the states as the fans know here in america we get screwed out of most of thier movies on dvd because ther companies are just too lazy to release them,but now things are slowly changing for the better with this release and the hallmark releases being released next year,a little at a time is better thn nothing at all,although "flying deuces" have been released over 100 times by different companies this is the first time we get a "remastered" version right from an early master,the other versions that have been released in the past have been pretty bad to pretty good but nothing great and in some cases they were so bad I can't see how they got it out on dvd......you won't have to buy the cheap crappy versions anymore now that this version is being released...

Summary: Very disappointing audio sync
Review: I love this movie, but this Madacy DVD is so far out of sync between the audio and video that it is unwatchable. I junked this and got the Platinum Edition DVD which is just fine.

Summary: NOT ONE OF THEIR GREATEST
Review: I was quite disappointed when I first viewed this film.Inspite of the impressive openning and closing credits,where L&H are seen in cartoon form,Oliver's beautiful musical number of"Shine On Harvest Moon",and the climactic airplane scene,the film is not one of their funniest.I personally find the film somewhat depressing somehow.Definetly not one of their better films.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: It was Great.I Laughed and Laughed and Laughed.It was fun and The Song "Shine on Harvest Moon"sung by Ollie and Danced by Stanley was great.Buy this movie.You will not be disapointed

Summary: Note that this item from Kino is the RESTORED EDITION
Review: Just an FYI: I notice a lot of reviews from earlier editions of "Flying Deuces" are turning up here... I just want to reiterate that THIS new version from Kino is RESTORED-- you won't see a better print of this movie unless one turns up after this is released. Ignore the reviews here that mention "Madacy," "Platinum," "Good Times," etc. ... this is the NEW Kino RESTORED version, and you're gonna' love it! :)

Summary: Foreign Legion comedy is a typical Laurel & Hardy outing
Review: Mr. Hardy, disappointed in romance, joins the French Foreign Legion, and takes Mr. Laurel with him! A reworking of an older, similar comedy (BEAU HUNKS), this has more action and a faster pace. Highlights include Stan trying to console Ollie as clumsily as possible, a song-and-dance routine featuring "Shine On, Harvest Moon," and a wild airplane ride. If you like Laurel & Hardy, you'll like this.

Summary: Finally, an excelleent print of this film!
Review: There are many versions of "Flying Deueces" on the market since it is a public domain film. They range from atrocious to just okay. Finally, Kino does all U.S. Laurel & Hardy fans a service by releasing a stunning print first released a few months ago on DVD by a French company. I highly recommend it!The film itself is fast-moving and highly amusing, as you'd expect from Laurel & Hardy. It has an interesting history-- the team did it away from their home studio in the midst of contract negotiations, and Hardy met his future wife while shooting-- she was a script girl on the set. It's one of my favorites. Also included are two Laurel & Hardy rarities: "The Stolen Jools," which was an all-star short featuring Laurel & Hardy as well as Edward G. Robsinson, Buster Keaton, the Our Gang ("Little Rascals") kids, Wallace Beary, Joan Crawford, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and more. The other rarity is "Tree in a Test Tube," one of only 2 films the team made in color (the other being the lost feature, "The Rogue Song"). This was a wartime short done for the government about the importance of wood. With so little Laurel & Hardy available on DVD in the US, this is a welcome addition. Pick it up if you're looking for laughs, smiles and a bit of cinema history! :)

Summary: Good, but not their best- need more Roach shorts!
Review: This DVD has a great quality print of a good L&H film, plus some rarities and oddities all collected in one place. The only bad thing about it is it made me even more eager to see more DVD's of the original Roach shorts (Brats, Blotto, Towed in a Hole) and Features (Swiss Miss, Way Out West, Pardon Us). Let's see 'em!!!
