Three Amigos
Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase star as the Three Amigos!, swashbuckling stars of the silent screen in 1918 who find themselves broke and out of work. When they are offered what they think is a request for a personal appearance at a Mexican village, they soon realize the villagers expect them to be the heroes they portray and fight a band of desperados terrorizing the town. THREE AMIGOS! is an outrageous parody of early Westerns that highlights the fabulous physical comedy of its stars.

Originally conceived as a vehicle for Chevy Chase, Steve Martin and John Belushi, this enjoyably indulgent comedy hit the big screen with another Saturday Night Live regular, Martin Short, in place of Belushi, who died in 1982. The leads play stars of silent westerns who end up in Mexico on what they think is a publicity tour, only to discover that they are expected to defend a village from an evil group of bandits. It's nowhere near as funny as it should have been given the talent on show, but the chemistry between the stars and the gentle digs at the western genre make for a diverting enough entertainment.

good old story!!
I remember watching this on video 20 years ago! It still has a good sense of family movies with a predictable but very funny story. My 10 year old thought it was hilarious!

Some Great Comedy Moments
Yes it lumbers along in places but I'm sorry, any film that contains 'We all have our El Whoppoes to face' and 'We raped the horses' deserves its place in the gallery of comedy classics. Was this Landis peaking before the wheels came off? The good bits far outweigh the weak points and sustaining comedy for 90 minutes plus is always a huge challenge. Landis rises to it better than most.
