Three Amigos Reviews

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!

Old time movie

This is a funny film from start to finish, Seen it along time ago but just had to see it again.

I cannot fault this movie - it is without a doubt the funniest Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Martin Short have EVER been.

The 3 stars of Hollywood movie series The Three Amigos, their ego's get the better of them and they find themselves cast out of their studio. However all is not lost when a sexy senorita invites them to 'Come to Santa Poco and put on show with the infamous El Wappo". However chaos ensues when it becomes clear to our heroic trio that the people of Santa Poco believe they really are horse-riding hero's and not just out of work actors.

Everything about it is spot on comic genius. You'd need to have had the humour part of your brain completely removed not to laugh at such oddities as El Wappo, The Singing Bush and the Amigo salute. Watch it! WATCH IT NOW!!

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.

A classic comedy

Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short, and cast ranging from the infamous El Guapo, to the singing bush come together to make this fantastically fun and funny film. Ostensibly a spoof of the ever-popular western genre, it is much more, drawing in slapstick, a couple of musical numbers and some great cheesy moments. You even get a bit of a vocal lesion thrown in. Educational.

I’m always amazed when I meet someone who doesn’t think this is one of the funniest films they have ever seen. Still, these people do exist is seems, and it’s not for everyone. It you didn’t laugh at Monty Python, found Father Ted strangely dull or hold up the Police Academy Movies as comedy gold, this might not be for you.

However, if you like comedies of errors, spoofs, over acting and some great slapstick, this is for you.

Very silly

Yes, a very silly movie--complete with a singing cactus--but pretty good fun nonetheless. If you don't like stupid humour you will hate this movie. If you take your laughs cheap and cheaply sly, this might be just the picture for you.

Still amusing

Golden oldie, still very funny, would rent it again

Family fun

Nice simple ,clean fun which the whole family can sit around and enjoy ...

My little buttercup

Very funny in places - children will catch much of the (not very subtle) bits that they probably shouldn't. Very camp.

fine form

Great fun from Steve Martin before he sold his soul to Domestic Comedy. Chevy Chase and Martin Short also enjoy themselves in this crazy caper, and so will you. Ole'.
