Steve Martin & Martin Short Met While Filming “Three Amigos” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@dbc13543]

There's something tremendously comforting about seeing these two actors who starred in one of the favourite films of my youth, and realizing they're still good buddies and even funnier IRL than they were in the movies. And we all need a little comfort these days.

[@jeffspicoli2643]

I was 10 years old and we skated to a random theatre in Milwaukee and saw the Three Amigos. I played a couple rounds of the arcade game Double Dragon in the lobby... I remember it like it was yesterday. I miss those days being a kid in the 80's. I love all of Steve's and Martin's movies.

[@justinklenk]

Brother - I'm feeling every single detail of that nostalgic comment. 👍 (Except where I lived.)

[@ninerism]

I had almost the exact same experience at the same age, except I'm in Australia and me and my brother were playing Rampage before the movie...

[@danielmooney3901]

My favourite line has to be when Rosita says to Chevy - ‘we could take a walk and you could kiss me on the veranda’…Chevy responds ‘on the lips would be fine’. Absolutely legendary film and the most talented trio✌️

[@TheTruthKiwi]

It's a bit of a shame that Chevy seems to have alienated himself and gone the grumpy old man route. I guess the bigger they are the harder they fall. In saying that maybe he's cool with Steve & Martin, who knows.

[@anthonyfrombelow]

​@@TheTruthKiwiWho cares? Doesn't change the awesomeness of his funny movies.

[@justinklenk]

​@@anthonyfrombelow Well (and - obviously), many, many people care. These are things that even the most casual observers of life notice to some degree and reflect on to some degree. And he never said anything remotely about whether Chevy made movies that made us all laugh - that's an utterly different topic of conversation altogether. Don't be so myopically contrarian to a simple observation - just so you can appear significant, out of nowhere, by needlessly inserting such a red herring of a conversion ruiner.

[@Demion83]

Steve Martin had so many great movies out during my peak VCR renting years as a kid. 3 Amigos, Roxanne, Parenthood, Little Shop of Horrors, Planes trains and Automobiles, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Jerk... these were all staples I must have watched 40 times each. I actually didn't learn to love Martin Short until later, when "Glick" showed up, but now consider him one of the funniest guys ever.

[@wsjustice]

I recommend Bowfinger. Probably his and Eddie Murphy's best.

To this day, I still think The Three Amigos is one of the funniest movies EVER MADE. I grew up in my Mexican household with my mom & dad forever watching those classic Mexican charro movies from the 40’s & 50’s (sometimes called the Mexican Golden Age of Cinema) and this movie hits every single trope made in those films. An under-appreciated gem, I start laughing at this film even before the title card is on screen. These men are GENIUSES and I will forever love them for doing that movie.

[@MentalLiberation]

Such a hilarious film

The Three Amigos, by far one of my favorite movies of all time. I can still hear my 21 year old son giggle when Martian Short falls on the table right after El Guapo has his snarky 'gringos falling out of the sky" line. Was thrilled to visit Old Tucson where some of the movie was shot. I even bragged to my sister and took copious photos. Thank you to all who made that movie so fun.

[@thejonathandoan]

I am so grateful for Three Amigos. One of my all-time favorites, and these two chaps are certainly a huge part of that. It's so awesome that this world includes people like them!

My family has just binge-watched the first 2 seasons of Only Murders in the Building. It took a while to convince my wife it wouldn't be slapstick panto with old-bloke jokes. As fans of the new Perry Mason series, Knives Out, and other modern murder mysteries, (and a repellant father who constantly makes bad dad jokes), we started last week, averaged 4 episodes a day, and loved the Nathan Lane and Jane Lynch characters ... actually love all the cast. Can't wait for Friday night. We will start season 3 then.

Steve Martin Short never disappoints

[@DoYouFeelLucky]

Three Amigos is one of my favourite comedies of all time. It's what I like to call a "mini masterpiece". I adore that movie and always have since I was about 5 years old, and it's one of those rare ones that every time I go back to it, it always still hold up completely. It's so tightly written, brilliantly performed, amazing music, pure fun, adventure and hilarity and even has a little sneaky depth to it while never once being remotely pretentious. Oh, and dare I say it, the finest costumes ever created! I'd love to sit down with these guys and hear some stories, even if it were just Martin Short as Ned boring me to death with his tales of Dorothy Gish!

[@022171]

I love the moment in Three Amigos when the three of them come to eat the humble meal the townspeople have prepared for them in gratitude for coming to save the town. They sit down. Chevy looks up to the girl and says "Excuse me, do you have anything besides Mexican food?"

[@rusmartin]

yeah sort of an on the nose moment when Martin was saying how after a movie you decide whether to leave the relationship there or continue it after wrap, and how we always see these two doing things but rarely with Chevy. i'd imagine it's also partly Chevy making the decision not to be close with others; these two are so sweet and humble they'd probably make room for him if he wanted it. despite all his bad press and burned bridges, if Chevy wanted to change and these guys did more stuff as three amigos, it would turn his career around completely - because we all want Chevy to be better.
