Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short star as the swashbuckling Three Amigos! The wimpy actors think they are going south of the border to perform a one-time show for a large fee. When they are fired from their studio, they have no choice but to accept the offer and head south for the show of a lifetime. As they arrive in the tiny oppressed village, they begin to realize that they are caught in a horrible case of mistaken identity and must truly fight for their lives against the evil marauder El Guapo (Alfonso Arau). They cowardly run for their lives and the village is almost destroyed until they realize the importance of their mission and are forced to use real cunning and bravery to try to defeat the villain and his hordes in order to prove that the Three Amigos! were truly as courageous and heroic as they appeared onscreen. This hilarious spoof of old-fashioned Westerns features marvelous physical comedy from its strong cast.
Notes Alfonso Arau, who plays the villainous El Guapo, would later direct the art-house hit LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE as well as the Keanu Reeves film A WALK IN THE CLOUDS.

Reviews Review created: 07/02/08 by: I first saw this movie as a young girl and thought it was so funny. Over the years, I had seen it a few times on cable, and I laughed all over again. I finally decided I needed my own copy to share with my family. I gotta say, my husband and children love this movie now. Very funny, in my opinion, perfect casting. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase make the perfect trio in this so very entertaining movie. Out of work actors, who are believed to be real-life heroes by a small town, are hired to fight off real banditos! Thinking they are putting on a big show, the actors come out guns blazing on their horses, only to find out this is the REAL thing. With names like "Dusty Bottoms", and "El Guapo", this is a must see movie for any fan of good, clean, family-friendly comedy. There are no "bad" parts as we call them at our house. I guarantee, you will be singing songs like, "My little buttercup, has the sweetest smile..." for days. You have to see the movie to understand. One of my all time FAVORITES! Hope this has been helpful. Gotta go, feel like watching it now..lol! Review ID: 10000000007771412 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Service was excellent with regard to delivery time, and the product itself is extremely acceptable. Would definitely recommend this site to others. My husband's favorite movie of all time. It is not a personal favorite of mine, but he is thrilled. He had a previous VHS tape of it that was about worn out, so I decided to get it for him for Christmas. Review ID: 10000000005086193 Was this review helpful?

Great value on E-bay, highly recommend the seller for reliability and promptness. A pleasure doing business with competent people! Review ID: 10000000004709172 Was this review helpful?
