Product Description

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

Format:DVD
This is a clasdic screwball comedy and a cult classic. remember how that movie wasn't a very big hit in its release in 1986, yet all the kids knew all the best lines from it. Yes, it's silly humor, almost vaudeville in its style (that's fine with me, being the vaudeville fan that I am) but well worth a viewing. Too bad it's a barebones DVD with no hidden Easter Eggs like director's commentary or deleted scenes and such. I like that sort of thing, as it enhances your view of the art of film making to see the rationale for remving certain scenes.
There was no commentary track from the acrors, either. Have Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short disowned the movie?

This movie has always been one of my favourites. Just happy that it got moved from tape to DVD. I love the plot and the antics of the Three Amigos

The movie arrived in the time specified and in good shape. The plot is alittle silly but if you only want to sit and be entertained for an hour or two this is the movie for you. I still enjoy this escape on occassion.

Feel-good movie of the 80s...
I remember seeing this film on BETA when I was about 9 years old... then, it disappeared from my mind... up until the blu-ray came up. Read more

Always A Favourite
This old classic is one of the best comedies from the 80s and really reminds you of that great age of comedy.

The (Un) Magnificent Trio
The movie was produced at a time when Martin and Chase were trying to revitalize their movie careers. Martin Short was just starting to make films. Read more

�We Had to Pay the Rent� I guess
Well below minor cult classic status, the Three Amigos nonetheless has some inspired and funny moments. Read more
