Critic Reviews
Masters of impersonation all, Martin, Chase and Short are a rivetting
trio. All seem perfectly at home in the wacky rhythm of this picture and
in contributing their individual talents to the very funny whole. For the
folks who see them, the Amigos' enthusiasm will likely be contagious. [12 Dec 1986, p.D4]
There's hardly a moment in Three Amigos that isn't silly--make that incredibly, outrageously and breathtakingly silly. Maybe that's why this tale of a trio of inept silent-movie stars turned real-life heroes is such a goofy delight. It's like a cross between a big-budget Three Stooges movie and a Hope-Crosby road picture, with dozens of old cowpoke gags thrown in to spice up the brew.

Martin’s script—co-written with SNL producer Lorne Michaels and songwriter Randy Newman—is full of inspired bits of comic business, such as Martin making a “lookuphere!” bird call to get his chums’ attention, Chase pouring water all over his face while his mates’ canteens are dry, and the Amigos summoning an invisible swordsman whom Chase accidentally shoots.
