While the trio are working on the vehicle, they hear a news flash over the radio about some escaped convicts.

Pardon My Backfire was the second and last short made by Columbia with the Stooges in 3D, the previous being Spooks!

Pardon My Backfire premiered on August 15, 1953 with the 3D Columbia western The Stranger Wore a Gun[1] starring Randolph Scott and featuring Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine.

Like its predecessor, Pardon My Backfire took five full days to complete filming due to the complexity of capturing shots and angles required for 3D viewing.

This was also the last Stooge short featuring longtime supporting actor Fred Kelsey.
