Synopsis
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.

From the Back Cover
When a small Mexican village is terrorised by a notorious outlaw, a desperate senorita calls upon the only heroes she knows. The legendary Three Amigos! Known by all as fearless freedom fighters, these courageous cowboys are really just film stars and the only fighting they have done is on the movie set. Now the trio must save the village and become true heroes...or hang up their spurs forever.

Customer Reviews

One star for each Amigo
Take the title characters from "The Three Musketeers," place them in Hollywood during the Golden Age of Vaudeville, and add a little SNL spice, and what do you have? The Three Amigos! The movie opens in 1916, when a peaceful Mexican village is threatened by the evil El Guapo (Alfonso Arau). When young Rodrigo (Philip Gordon) watches a Three Amigos movie and sees his heroes save a village - a Shakespearean "play within a play" - he sends them a telegraph immediately. Little does he realize that Lucky Day (Steve Martin), Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) only play these Amigos on stage, not in real life. Moreover, they have been banished from Goldsmith Pictures by its owner, played by Joe Mantegna....

We are the three aaaaaaaaaa....migos
In my opinion one of the best comedies I have seen.

With Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short all on top form as the three dim-witted unemployed Hollywood actors who are enlisted to help a little mexican village from the terrors of a man called "El Guapo"! The thing is...they think its just a show, that is until the real bullets start flying.

This film has some truly brilliant slapstick moments which I won't ruin for you (but the "my little buttercup" song and "male plane" joke had me in fits).

This film will keep everyone entertained with the various gunfights, a fight with invisible swordsman (doesn't last long), singing bushes, sing alongs and "male" planes. What is not to love about this film. It is Highly recommended.

Good, lighthearted fun
The story of three actors who get fired. A woman recognizes them from their "Three Amigos" movies and thinks that they're the real thing, not just actors. So she hires them to get rid of the "banditos" that are terrorising her Mexican village, while they think that she's hiring them to do a show. Light-hearted, silly, and OK for kids,this movie that was co-written by Steve Martin is a worthy add to your video collection. (The reason it's PG is for some mild shoot-outs.)
