The Three Stooges in Orbit has the team playing not only themselves but themselves trying to make it big on a television show. Since they keep breaking leases by cooking in their apartments, they rent a room in a spooky castle that houses not only a wacky professor (played by 'the fourth Stooge,' Emil Sitka, veteran of many a Stooge short) and his pretty daughter, but a pair of Martians who are waiting for him to perfect his latest invention and use it to conquer the Earth. After an old situation-device in which the craft is too large to leave the workroom, the Stooges make a trip into space that adds nothing to the plot, and finally defeat the invaders by hoisting them on their own petard. The usual chase routine is replaced here by a fairly well done sequence in which the team is outside the craft trying to thwart the two Martians locked inside the craft, while a death ray is wiping out most of California. (The use of stock footage from other monster-invasion films is unintentionally hilarious.)
The love interest, deemed so necessary in films aimed at young audiences, is brief and tinged with mild comedy. The Martian make-up is obviously based on the original Frankenstein head shape, and it is a relief to hear them speak in some babble other than English as subtitles 'translate' for us. In fact, the cleverest bit in this film is Moe's reading a subtitle to learn of the proposed destruction of this planet--a gag worthy of Mel Brooks. The film reveals its age when the chief Martian bangs his boot on the table in the manner of Khrushchev and his shoe at the United Nations. But the only real weaknesses are Curly Joe's fright reactions, so much funnier when done by Curly or Shemp in the past. --Frank Behrens

Rating: - A loony sci-fi caper for the Stooges
Poking fun at sci-fi movies and Martian invasions (both done sillier in their own right), the Stooges do a film-within-a-film as they play themselves as T.V. stars getting involved in some weird doings.
Winding up at the mansion of a kooky but well-intended professor (Stooge short veteran Emil Sitka), it's soon revealed that actual Martians are hiding away in the place as they await the completion of the professor's latest invention: an odd-looking helicopter-tank-submarine-rocket which the ...

Rating:  - Massively unimpressive
Even for a film from the DeRita era, I found this pretty awful and didn't laugh once, though there are a handful of mildly amusing moments. I felt really embarrassed for Moe, Larry, and Emil Sitka, even though they do put in good performances in spite of the bad material they were forced to work with. DeRita I could care less about, and I found him as annoying as I usually do, once again failing to demonstrate any sort of comedic personality or chemistry with the other two. The length is also a ... Read More
Rating:  - Another Stooge-pendous flick!
It was 45 years ago when Stooge-mania was riding high with another in the series of feature length movies featuring Larry,Moe and Curly Joe. Our boys were trying to save the planet and in the end the typical hilarious hijinks prevailed. I remember growing up about the incredible flying submarine in this movie and still enjoy it to this day. Fun stuff for every Three Stooges fan!!

Rating: - Moe, Larry & Curly Joe in Orbit
The Three Stooges play themselves as TV stars. After getting kick out of their apartment and a long day of looking for a place to live, the boys meet up with Professor Danfort (Emil Sitka, a regular after the Curly days). The professor has invented a tank/helicopter/submarine vehicle for the military. The Army doesn't want it since it flies, the Air force doesn't want it since it goes under water, etc. The professor has suspected that the Martins want his device for their world and to destroy the earth. ...
