Three Amigos! is a childhood favorite, now our children love it as well. It’s an LOL riot as Lucky Day, Ned Nederlander and Dusty Bottoms attempt to save the town of Santo Poco from El Guapo and his gang of Mexican cowboys. There’s no better display of the comedic genius of Martin, Short and Chase.
SPOILER ALERT! Watch the movie before proceeding.
Life Lessons Learned from Three Amigos
Listen to our episode on Three Amigos
Dusty: Don’t get a big head about yourself.
- You might think you’re hot stuff, but if someone has control of your career, don’t try to put pressure on your boss when you don’t actually have the clout you need. Lucky Day screwed up by negotiating from a position of no-power.
Sunset on the mesa.
Sky: Follow directions.
- Directions are there to help you avoid mistakes (furniture, Legos and recipes), so improve your chance of success by following them. Fire your gun in the air, Dusty Bottoms!
El Guapo and Jefe are wonderful baddies.
Sky: Don’t stand too close to a gun fight.
- For one, you might get shot. For another, where do you look? You don’t want to miss the action, so get a wider view and step back.
Love their signature move.
