ElCid Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The McGuerins From Brooklyn is on at 5:00 AM Jan 15/16. There were other movies, of which I have DVD's, that were very similar. I have been told they actually made a movie and then cut it into shorter segments for release again. Question: Is The McGuerins From Brooklyn different from Two Knights From Brooklyn; Two Mugs From Brooklyn; Taxi Mister and Brooklyn Orchid? Put another way, if I have all except The McGuerins, do I also have the McGuerins? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made other ones featuring other characters/actors. But the ones with the McGuerins were a continuing series.

The full list is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Roach's_Streamliners Thanks, I looked at Wiki and some notes I have from a while back. Some of these were combined into other "movies." Ex. Two Knights from Brooklyn seems to be a combination of Two Mugs From Brooklyn and Taxi Mister?. Apparently Two Knights, Two Mugs and Taxi Mister? were not used in Brooklyn Orchid. Guess my question is whether The McGuerins from Brooklyn is parts of others or is totally stand alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that it's a standalone story. But I guess you'll know more when you watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCid Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Mystery solved. McGuerins From Brooklyn is about 45 mins. long and was essentially last part of Two Knights From Brooklyn, but with about three 2 min. segments inserted and about 20+ mins. deleted. Two Knights is about 1 hour and 12 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
