 ‘Three Amigos’ (PG)
"Three Amigos" is a spoof along the lines of "Rustler's Rhapsody" or "Transylvania 6-5000." You've probably forgotten those, and, in the blessed process through which the mind heals itself, you'll probably forget "Three Amigos," too.
The script of "Three Amigos" (Martin's collaborators were producer Lorne Michaels and singer Randy Newman) plays like it was slapped together by a few friends with a tape recorder enjoying a charming weekend at the beach.
You can't tell one amigo from another, the gags are silly (a "singing bush") and far between, the dialogue full of inane wordplay.

 Unified Modeling Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The three methodologists were collectively referred to as the Three Amigos, since they were well known to argue frequently with each other regarding methodological preferences.
In 1996 the Three Amigos decided that a Unified Modeling Language was more viable than a Unified Method, and redirected their efforts to respond to the OMG Request for Proposal (RFP) for an object modeling language ("Object Analysis and Design RFP-1",OMG document ad/96-05-01), which was issued in June 1996.
Under the technical leadership of Three Amigos, an international consortium called the UML Partners was organized in 1996 to complete the Unified Modeling Language (UML) specification, and propose it as a response to the OMG RFP.

When the Three Amigos receive a telegram from a Mexican town offering them money for their services, they assume that they will be making some quick cash for a publicity appearance and not for fighting off real bandits.

 DVDFILE.COM: The Three Amigos! review
The story of three silent film stars (Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Martin Short) who are inadvertently summoned to help a small Mexican village from the grip of the IN-famous El Guapo was a fairly sizable hit when it was released to theaters for Christmas of 1986.
Watching the scene where the Amigos start to cry, you can see how forced his comedy really is. Steve Martin and Martin Short can carry it off and make it amusing while Chase is so obvious that it's embarrassing.
Three Amigos was also notable as one of the last John Landis movies that actually did anything for anyone (Coming to America was probably his last), although you get the feel from Three Amigos that it really is a low budget film with not much flash to it.

It took three minutes for Cuaron and del Toro to become "absolute lifelong friends" when they first met 20 years ago in the waiting room for the Mexican TV series "Hora Marcada," del Toro recalls.

 ¡Three Amigos!
Thinking that these three men really are superheroic gunslingers from America, she sends them a telegram promising them a hundred thousand pesos if they will come and rid their fair town of El Guapo (Alfonso Arau).
Naturally, she doesn't quite have enough funds to send them a telegram explicit enough to make the true nature of their mission known, so she sends them the cheap version, which leads them to believe that they are putting on a show with a Mexican actor.
In case you were wondering, this is the singular joke that the film and its script relies upon to sustain its hundred-minute length.

Three former cabinet ministers have come to Tony Blair's assistance and thrown their weight behind a Yes vote in the EU treaty referendum.
And as for the Palestinian Authority, well if providing Yasser Arafat's people with "help" means sending millions of Euros in untraceable cash in the knowledge that some of it may end up in the hands of mass-murdering terror organisations and suicide bombers, well most Britons could live without that.
By giving the EU constitution a purely left-wing ideological significance and then warning that rejecting it will open Britain to even more sinister neo-con influence, Blair's three amigos are doing his cause more harm than good.
