Trivia
Some televised prints of this short edit out the scene where it's revealed that "Dodge's" baby is an African-American infant. When Moe brings back the black baby into the Colonel's mansion, he attempts to explain how the baby got his dark complexion ("We had him down the beach all summer...he got quite sunburned!").

Goofs
When they're walking in the river, Major Hyde is walking next to the horse, and both are wearing high-water boots. Just prior, they only show their legs, and its obviously 6 human legs walking in a line.

Quotes

Operator 15: Oh, I got sick of the dough and thought I'd go on the loaf.

Uncivil Warriors is one of the funniest of the early Three Stooges shorts

This review is of the eighth Three Stooges short they made for Columbia Pictures. In this one, Moe, Larry, and Curley (as his name was spelled at the time) are Union spies during the Civil War disguising themselves as Confederates in order to discover their plans. Plenty of many very funny and what would become very familiar routines abound here and they all come together perfectly. And it's always a treat to see usual supporting player Bud Jamison whenever he has a scene with the boys. Also, usual writer Felix Adler and director Del Lord-with only his second film with the boys-do a fine job of making this an almost perfect Stooges short. Oh, and while there's a visual joke near the end that would probably be politically incorrect today, the way Moe explains it does excuse it a little. So on that note, Uncivil Warriors comes highly recommended.
