Amazon.com:
Three Western stars (Martin Short, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase) from Hollywood silent films go to Mexico for what they assume will be a publicity appearance, and find they've actually been summoned to fight a local bandit. John Landis directed this 1986 comedy with self-conscious artifice, and it's hard to get into his self-congratulatory joke. Even the three main stars, brilliant comics all, can't sustain anything funny in it. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - The amigos ride again!
Not quite as hilarious and a little tamer than I remember it from my youth, it is still a great way to spend an evening with some light comedy.

So I saw THE THREE AMIGOS. There's a campfire scene and ... Read More
Rating: - absurdly funny
Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.....(the three funny men of comedy) in a movie together. What could be better? I can't believe they havent made more movies together. I admit, the plot is a little "out there", but the 3 actors pull it off beautifully. For example, theres a scene where the 3 are in a desert and Chevy Chase and Steve Martin are singing to Martin Short trying to make him fall asleep and all the animals in the desert start singing. Originally you'd be rolling your eyes but with ... Read More
Rating:  - Great movie, bad DVD
First off, it's a great movie. But this DVD is one of the worst DVDs I have seen of a major motion picture.
There are no special features, but it's actually the print of the film that is a problem.
First off during the opening titles (and a few other times in the film) the movie shakes and bobs up and down. Then during many of the shots, the far left of the picture has a black line over the print (it looks like the scene is fading out... but only on the far left of the picture ... Read More
