I don't suppose you could've done better in Three Amigos....oh that's right, you didn't get a call for a part in the movie... wonder why? Anyway, 3 Amigos is a hilarious movie. Steven Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short. They work great together.....they're hilarious. This is a must for anyone's collection....except "Mac from "BE"...who doesn't know what funny is. This movie is a comedic hit!! Buy it TODAY!

Summary: Very funny movie, very bad DVD
Review: Three Amigos! is a very funny film with an excellent cast that suffers from a truly, very bad DVD. The Three Amigos are three silent movie actors down on their luck whne they receive a telegram from a village in Mexico asking them to help rid themselves of El Guapo, an infamous bandit in the area. The three agree thinking that it is all part of a show when it is actually very real. The scene in which they discover this is one of the funniest in the movie. Naturally, the heroes must redeem themselves and decide to go after El Guapo and his gang of tequilla drinking banditos. There are several very funny scenes including the dance number in the bar, the singing bush and the invisible knight, and the Three Amigos' theme song. Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short are all very funny as Lucky Day, Dusty Bottoms, and Ned Nederlander. They work very well together throughout with each of them having their moments. Look for a great scene with Steve Martin in a dungeon as he tries to escape by grabbing the keys that are just out of his reach. Why do the companies that release DVDs think that people like the snap cases? It is poorly made and easily falls apart. The print is not a good one with virtually no extras added unless you consider cast biographies and filmographies a quality extra. This is a very funny comedy that suffers greatly from a horrible DVD release. If you have the VHS stick with that or wait for a better copy to be released. Bad DVD or not, this is a hilarious movie that will keep viewers laughing throughout.

Summary: Don't waste your money neither your time
Review: This movie is probably the worst comedy I've seen in ten years. Every jokes are predictable and are completely lame. These three guys pretend to be the best, but the best of what? If it's for their annoying and boring capabilities, they sure are the best. I waste over an hour and a half, waiting for good jokes and big laugh's but they never came. My advice, buy anything but this movie. I never thought a movie could be that bad. :-(

Summary: OK comedy film; LOUSY DVD!
Review: "Three Amigos" is a send-up of silent film "heroes" and of the Mexican-banditos-terrorizing-the-peasant-village film genre. Some very funny sequences (in the studio, in the cantina, the first couple of encounters between the Three Amigos and El Guapo's gang, and El Guapo's birthday party) make this worth seeing. Unfortunately, it could have been much funnier. There are extended dead spots, and scenes that were amusing but obviously and lamely stretched to fill out the film. As is all too often the case where Lorne Michaels is involved, despite some great ideas, this film was shot with a script that just needed one more rewrite with better comedy writing talent that would know which scenes to replace and how. Much worse, HBO Films spared every expense in transferring this to DVD and it's really disappointing to see. They used an old print sitting around in the archives, with specks of dirt flecking across the screen in places. At several points in the DVD including the opening titles, the view jiggles slowly from side-to-side. Whether that was a transfer problem or was also apparent in the original film, I don't know, but it looks terrible. There are almost no special features. And the DVD maker bound the case of my copy with a security seal that is very difficult to remove without a tool and without tearing the case. Punish the legitimate customers along with the shoplifters... always a good business strategy. Three stars for the film, one star for the DVD = a good rental and await a Collectors' Edition. If there isn't one, you won't have missed much.

Summary: Three actors at their idiotic best
Review: Perhaps the most unusual comedy ever, The Three Amigos turns out to be a laugh riot that revolves around stupidity mostly. The three stars, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, all play the parts of bumbling idiot actors who must save a Mexican town from a villain. The comedy isn't realistic at all, but that provides for some of the funnier jokes in movie history. There are also numerous lines that are very memorable, as well as a few awkward, but spectacular musical numbers. This comedy has a bit of everything in it, but it all adds up to a great movie.

Summary: A plethora of yucks
Review: It helps to have a SENSE of humor to enjoy this film. You know, the quality that seperates the smart file-clerk from the dumb CEO. If your sense of humor is not well-developed you may find this film boring, or confusing. Don't fret, there's hope! Rent some Marx Bros. or Pink Panther! Prime the pump if you're a stick-in-the-mud. If you enjoy inspired absurdity, then this film is the ticket. The leads are great, but it's the supporting cast that really make this film work. The plot is thin, but that's OK. The "bar scene" and the interplay between evil "El Guapo" and his sidekick, the long-suffering "Jefe" are worth the price of the DVD.

Summary: good movie, no special features
Review: This is another movie that my girlfriend could not believe i have never seen. What makes this one even stranger is that friend from college had been talking about this movie for years, and i still had never seen it. Now i can finaly say that i have seen The Three Amigos . The premise of the movie is that a Mexican woman sees a movie of the Three Amigos saving the day. Only, she does not know it is a movie and thinks it is a newsreel. She invites the Amigos to help save her town from the bandits. Having just been fired from their movie studio, they accept, thinking that it is a chance to do a show and get paid for it. The movie stars Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short. The movie is funny and enjoyable as we see the Amigos go on the comedic misadventures. The only negative is that i had just seen Blazing Saddles and could not help making comparisons to it. The Three Amigos falls short in comparison. There are no special features on the DVD.

Summary: Great movie: On Paper
Review: All the gang is here! This movie should be much better. I saw this at the theater when it came out way back when. I had put off getting it on dvd because my memory of it was: that it really wasn't that great. Well, my memory served right. I knew what I was buying, it was cheap, it has Chevy, but in the end it just seems to come down to a chemistry problem. Actually, I am stunned to see this movie faring so well here at Amazon.com, usually a tough crowd. Steve and Chevy don't really seem like distant Amigos let alone close friends, they mix here like water and oil. Martin Short was a smart choice for middle man. It does have great moments like the mentioning of those aweful old titles the Amigo's had made: Amigo's, Amigo's Amigo's, Little Neddy Goes To..., etc, etc. But overall, the movie has poor timing on all counts, overly long scenes that aren't funny to begin with (Steve in chains), and honestly does come across like a contract fulfillment. Isn't the worst I've ever seen, but really folks? 5 stars? I just don't get it. At the end of the day, as much as I love Steve Martin, I think Dan Aykroyd would have worked better as "Lucky Day". Chevy and Dan just work better together. Even the songs don't really create the type of belly-laugh you'd expect, they are flat. Holding that one note in the song "The Three Amigos" goes over with a resounding THUD, and seems almost a premonition of what's to come.

Summary: Highly Enjoyable
Review: I remember seeing this film when first released and could not understand its tepid critical and box office reception. I have never spoken with anyone about the film who did not thoroughly enjoy it. I think that it is gaining in stature as the years pass. The production values are superb. In appearance, El Guapo and his men could be transported directly to a Clint Eastwood shot-em-up exactly as they are. The script is wonderfully ridiculous (note the whole barroom sequence in the film's beginning section). I highly recommend this very underrated movie.

Summary: A Great Cast = A Great Movie
Review: Martin Short, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase take the part of the Three Amigos in this hilarious film. The Three Amigos are a group of actors in films in the early 1900's. When a girl from a town taken over by the infamous Guapo sees the Three Amigos in action on film, she writes them in Hollywood to try and save the town. So the Three Amigos go off in an attempt to save the town, what was the outcome? You have to watch to find out!
