    Storyline

    Edit
    Three out of work silent movie actors are accidentally drawn to a Mexican village that is being harassed by a gang of outlaws. The three, 'Ned', 'Lucky Day' and 'Dusty Bottoms' play 'Lone Ranger' types in their movies, but must play their parts for real now. —Rob Hartill

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Steve Martin learned the lasso tricks while working in a magic shop at Disneyland as a teenager.
    • Goofs
      There does not appear to be any thread in any of the sewing machines during the costume creating scenes toward the end of the movie.
    • Quotes

      Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little suprises.

      El Guapo: Many pinatas?

      Jefe: Oh yes, many!

      El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?

      Jefe: A what?

      El Guapo: A *plethora*.

      Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.

      El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?

      Jefe: Why, El Guapo?

      El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.

      Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

    • Alternate versions
      In the original version of the movie and in the original home video, the scene in Harry Flugelman's office normally concludes with Flugelman shouting, "Your asses have just been streamlined! The Three Amigos are history." For some reason this is missing from the 2011 DVD release and the Blu-ray version.

    Fun
    This is a funny movie and has some of the funniest actors in it. Chevy Chase, Martin Short and Steve Martin are brilliant in a movie that relies completely on their given talent - comedy. It's sad that not many movies were made, having different comedians in them, like Spies like us, also starring chevy chase opposite to Dan Aykroyd.

    A nice attempt to make a movie without a real story, but instead have the actors make up for it. 7/10
