Product Description

From 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

4.0 out of 5 stars Goofy Fun, Nov 14 2003

This review is from: Three Amigos (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?

5.0 out of 5 stars three aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamigos!, Jan 13 2004

This review is from: Three Amigos (DVD)

Are you ready to laugh your socks off? If yes, get this movie and start watching it! This mix of three amazingly hilarious comedians make an outstanding team that will certainly make your stomach hurt from laughing. Chevy Chase, Martin Short, and Steve Martin play the "Three Amigos," who are out-of-work actors asked to go fight the infamous El Guapo in Mexico. Thinking that El Guapo is "more than famous" instead of horrible, they take the job. As you can probably see, this mix-up causes quite a few problems that aren't at all too serious. After seeing this movie once, you'll be wanting to see it again and again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, Bad DVD, Nov 28 2003

By

Andrew Fernandez (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Three Amigos (DVD)

This is definitely one my favorite comodies out there with Steve Martin.

Unfortunately, the DVD is pooly made. Watching the movie, the image isn't even stable. There are artifacts that show up on the DVD. In sum it's barely watchable because the transfer to DVD was botched.

Also I just tried to contact HBO Home Video and they say they don't even manufacture the movie so they can't provide a refund or replacement. What kind of support is that?
