Our Gang: Inside the Clubhouse (1984) (Part 10 of 10)

[deborahsuewho]

I've just finished watching all ten segments and want to thank you for the upload. The Rascals/Our Gang films are probably my "desert island" choice for visual media. Regardless of any disputes about facts, I found this to be the most comprehensive piece on the series and actors. I had a great time watching this - thank you.

Switzer did not pull a knife on Stiltz. Two witnesses there said that he was unarmed. It was murder and it was not justified.

Thank you so much for posting this video. It should be included in any DVD collection that's released to see these wonderful interviews. Since 1984, most all of the Gang are gone. This brought back so many childhood memories. Roach was such a visionary to assemble a gang of kids who were only bound by their affection for adventure and each other, despite differences in class, race or religion. Truly "remarkable." I had a big lump in my throat at the end. So grateful to see this video.

Many thanks for posting this! Its a shame to hear that some scenes like the one with spanky dressed up as buckwheat and the scene where flower drops on the head of buckwheat are cut out of the original movies due to censhorship by some sauer adults who see this as racist. The movies are a product of their time and should be left alone, even if we see some scenes now as probably racist, kids wont look at that scene that way, Its the adult who judges !

[jastoneify]

I watched em all too. It's so sad how some of them died. My favorite two rascals of all time were Scotty and Tommy. I love them and wish I could have seen more of them. :(

Awesome. Watched all parts in one sitting because I couldn't stop! Great memories watching the "Little Rascals" on UHF TV as a kid! Now I understand why I didn't like the latter years, produced by MGM as much as the early shorts!

[30kitcat]

This was great! Thank you for posting this!! It brought back great memories of my childhood growing up watching, The Little Rascals! As Spanky would say, "There you are!"

[Bogframe]

Thanks for posting this. I loved The Little Rascals as a kid!!

[TheVirajster]

THANKS!! Now I don't have to purchase Richard Bann's book on whatever became of them. Can't stand Alfalfa but enjoyed hearing the wonderful days on the Roach lot.This was such a wonderful film to watch!!

[DisWldFrk90]

@TheVirajster This documentary is actually quite wrong on what happened to a few of them. And some of the ones that it didn't know what became of them, I don't see how it didn't know. I still liked the documentary regardless, but I do wish it had been more accurate on what happened to some of them.

[zeelove8]

[Dulcimerist]

Remarkable!!!

[langtongirl]

Thank you for sharing this documentary. It's nice to see behind the scenes, the lives that they lived after the films. I connect very deeply with the Our Gang comedies, they have touched my heart since I was very little.

Alfalfa was also the guy who opened the gymnasium floor on Jimmy Stewart in "It's A Wonderful Life."

I know for a fact that Buckwheat worked at Consolidated Film Industries (CFI) in Hollywood as a Film Lab Technician, not Technicolor. He worked in the same department as my Mother, who introduced me to him while she was on break when I was a kid.

[DisWldFrk90]

@afrosensuous I'm sure you're right. This documentary had a lot of things wrong in it. It was all wrong about Froggy's death. Froggy and his friend did not lose control of the motorscooter at all. They were rear-ended from behind and both of them were killed. This documentary implied the other one survived. Unless it was talking about the truck that rear-ended them where the driver of course wasn't hurt as he hit them.
