Three Amigos! (1986)

Two Geeks and a GIT Classic Movie Reviews

Sponsored by Manscaped! Our second western comedy film teams up three very famous comic actors for a romp through silent film-era Mexico with three unlikely heroes! Directed by the famous (and IN-famous) John Landis, 1986's "Three Amigos!" is a Western/Comedy/Musical/Fantasy and maybe a couple more genres as well. Silent film actors Lucky Day (Steve Martin), Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase) and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) are three veteran silent film actors, known on-screen as "The Three Amigos." When their studio head throws them out on their entitles heads, a telegram arrives from a young woman named Carmen (Patrice Martinez), asking them to come to the Mexican town of Santa Poco to help rid them of a band of outlaws led by someone named "El Guapo" (Alfonso Arau). Unfortunately for Carmen, she believes the Three Amigos to be actual heroes, which is not what she gets when the three movie stars eventually do face off with the banditos. After fleeing and later returning to the village, they're told that El Guapo's men have taken everything of value, including Carmen. Ned convinces his partners to enact a plan to get Carmen back, and eventually to actually save Santa Poco, using what they've learned from movie-making for so many years. The film also stars Tony Plana, Kai Wulff, and Joe Mantegna. Plus, hear what "Incredible Thirds" films made the list for the next pairing!
