Three Amigos-What Is A Plethora?

[@TheOriginalNCDV]

The acting in this is just so spot-on. It's sad we don't see this kind of comedy anymore.

[@Gandalf_lion]

I share the sentiment

[@mrashad219]

We can't have this kinda of comedy because no one knows what a plethora is.

[@smartcoolgadgets7516]

Everyone is a ❄️ nowadays..

[@Taramw32]

"When do you think Carmen will...open her flower up to you?" "Tonight. Or I will KEEL her!"

[@allentester]

What a classic scene. I lost count how many times I have seen this scene. "I know that I Jefe do not have your superior intellect and education"....😀😁😂🤣

[@saxman432004]

Excellent movie

[@brentondisbrowe1435]

Lmao when English majors start showing off their vernacular. I used to go to university with a girl that always always show off her fancy book reading skills and it was always like ugh this again

[@SunBunz]

I cannot say or hear the word “Plethora” without giggling and thinking of this scene, and pronounce it like this.

[@scorpionwins6378]

Same here. When I used to work nights at taco bell I had a drunken girl come up to the drive thru, and after placing an order she yelled "OH AND CAN I GET A PLETH....A PLETHORA!!! OF SAUCE PACKETS!!" It made me think of this scene. I also thought that girl was super adorable and funny.

[@LS-dp2gs]

Same here. And I feel sorry for those who have no clue what I mean.

[@theBaron0530]

"Jefe-what is a plethora?" "Why, El Guapo?"

[@jewelqueen5949]

The way he delivered the "why?"... classic

[@benkenobi6582]

The double meaning behind that “why” kills me. jefe knew he was about to get an ass chewing

[@ghanasoul]

​@@benkenobi6582 I never caught that til your comment. You're right. It did have a double meaning.

[@juanmanuelpena5319]

What’s even more impressive is that the actor playing El Guapo, Alfonso Arau, is a very prolific film director and directed notable movies including “Like Water for Chocolate” and “A Walk in the Clouds,” featuring Keanu Reeves.

[@alisonaiken1658]

Notice the positioning of the cactus in the shot…genius movie.

[@HueyRocks23]

Are you saying that John Landis had a plethora of symbolism?

[@washcloud]

Nah. She's probably Jefe's sister, sucking up to El Guapo.

[@taxirob1297]

Never noticed that before. Brilliant.

[@TWBs]

I kind of feel like a moron. What happens to the Cactus? It does not seem to be moving or in different positions to me.. Are we talking about the Tall Cactus behind El Guapo? I did not notice anything, the Camera Angles changed but I did not see the Cactus moving.

The actor who plays el Jefe also played one the Jefe's sergeant in The Wild Bunch

[@arcticbanana66]

I love how Jefe's expressions during El Guapo's rant imply that this sort of exchange has happened before. His face at 0:58 is like "Christ, here he goes again."

[@SunBunz]

LOL THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT HE’S THINKING! 😂 Jefe’s my favorite character.

[@knava12]

"But could it be, that once again, you are angry at something else and are looking to take it out on me?" Seems Jefe has taken El Guapo's redirected anger a plethora of times.

[@Snowfoxie1]

That little beleaguered “-sigh- why El Guapo?” absolutely sold it.

[@gcarlindisciple6071]

I saw this when I was like 12 and it's still by far one of my top 3 favorite scenes of all time. Fantastic writing, ahead of it's time I think.

[@enriquesotelo7739]

"Superior intellect and education" HaHaaaaaaaaaaa... "Looking to take it out on me?" Here in Mexico we would say "T'estás desquitando conmigo o qué chingados?" HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... Qué mamones son de veras... Best comedy of the 80's!!!

[@HughJorgan1]

Interesting. Google translate for "T'estás desquitando conmigo o qué chingados" is "You're taking it out on me..what the fuck". Which has taught me a useful phrase to use when traveling to Mexico: "Que chingados!" I hope Mexicans have a sense of humor when I joke "What the fuck" at random times...;)

Jeffe is El Guappo's therapist in this scene. Such fantastico comedea.

[@jewelqueen5949]

So... given my age (46), you mean to tell me that over the years, every time I used "plethora" (and thought I was being clever), there was someone on the receiving end of my comment thinking "Oh... she saw Three Amigos"...

[@clickphilharmonic]

When Jefe says, "I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior INTELLECT and EDUCATION," he sounds like he's channeling Rosanne Rosanadana. A superbly done scene.

I can't wait for my kids to come home asking me for help on a project about this great heroes from La Revolución, El Guapo and Jefe.

[@waldomervalenseg787]

This Is so great. Althoug we Mexicans wouldn't use the article "el" when talking peer to peer to that person. It Is used when wey referring to that person as a third party. I mean wey surely had talked yo him like this:"Why guapo?" Instead of "why EL guapo"?. Anyway this makes It even funnier. By the way guapo means handsome. Best regards.

[@chazz911234]

One of my favorite scenes from a movie ever!

[@davidbkopp]

Maybe beside the point that this is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history, but you might be interested to know that Tony Plana who plays 'Jefe' is an absolute mensch, a standup guy who is incredibly friendly and approachable, ready to share whatever wisdom (and there's a lot) that he has to impart.

[@misterfunnybones]

This film is so impactful in popular culture. They named a political meeting after this film: The North American Leaders' Summit (NALS), called the Three Amigos Summit in english and Cumbre de Los Tres Amigos en español. I also use El Guapo as a morality question as in, "what would El Guapo do?" 😂

[@sh3llz2]

Beyond the obvious "plethora" there is the MUCH more subtle "There's the German now, right on time..." I wonder how many got that...

Is Guapo spoken with a silent G? That green mashed avocado 🥑that is eaten with in tacos 🌮 and burritos, that so many call "gwackamole(y)": is that also spoken with a silent G?

[@almanzam]

@sage007 It is "blurry" or "larger" or "thicker" because when only El Guapo is in the frame, it may have been a different shot or scene, and the cactus is far away and smaller. It also might be a different cactus than when you can see Jefe on the lower left corner. Yes, it might be intentional.
