Two amigos watch *¡THREE AMIGOS!* (First time watching reaction)

[@TheOriginalAverageJane]

I once went to a Western themed party where three of the guests had painstakingly created Three Amigos costumes and learned the salute. It was epic.

[@jakemetzgar]

Sounds awesome!

[@akumabito2008]

But did they petform the Buttercup song?

[@mikeserot1410]

The salute was the silliest, most iconic thing in the film

[@paulayala6174]

Did they enlist their grandmothers to make their costumes and urge them on by telling them to " sew like the wind"? I bet it took a prethora of thread. ;-)

[@crimsonknight7011]

The Germans being there is actually pretty interesting. The date they gave us at the beginning of the movie was 1916 which was during WW1. In WW1 Germany tried to convince Mexico to ally with them and start a war on the US border as a way to keep America busy so that America couldn’t focus as many resources on fighting Germany, basically a distraction. It didn’t work tho.

[@rickhobson3211]

In fact, the British discovered an attempt on the part of Germany to bring Mexico into the war on their side when they intercepted the "Zimmerman telegram." The Brits told the Americans and it was one of the reasons America entered the war!

[@walker1812]

Not often you get to mention Zimmerman telegram naturally in a conversation. lol

[@vladtepis4316]

To add to that the Germans promised to help Mexico reconquer Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

[@jeffrutledge1789]

Supposed telegram! This is after the Rothschild family promised to bring the Americans in on the war to keep the English fighting. The British empire wanted to pull out of the war in 1916. That is where the German hatred for the little hat tribe came from.

[@jonathanfaulkner878]

I too am a big fan of El Guapo and Jefe. Great performances from Alfonso Arau and Tony Plana. There's actually a Three Amigos in joke on Alfonso Araus Wikipedia page. When describing his acting career it starts with "Among a plethora of roles in his career"😂 He definitely had a plethora

Has Steve Martin ever done a bad film? I remember that movie Roxanne and I don't know much he is in but where ever I see him he nails it.

A highly recommendation.

[@HermanVonPetri]

"Galaxy Quest" is basically a re-imagining of "The Three Amigos" which is a re-imagining of "The Magnificent Seven" which is a re-imagining of "The Seven Samurai." It's an inception "inception." And that's not to detract from any of these amazing films. They are each wonderful in their own right. Also, while Randy Newman wrote the songs, Elmer Bernstein composed the score for this film and he lovingly styled it to resemble his _other_ epic score for "The Magnificent Seven."

[@HairyPantaloons]

Would you say it's a plethora of inception?

In the lady's defense, a LOT of people didn't understand that movies were fake. There was an early film where a train was coming into station and people RAN OUT OF THE THEATER, trying to escape the train coming towards them. true story.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

@agnosticdevotee exactly what they thought what sorcery is this?

[@bhikku23]

Sorry, but not a true story. What really happened was that the viewers were so impressed by the film's picture quality and smooth framerate that several of them enthusiastically remarked afterward about how lifelike it was, saying it almost looked as if the train would roll right out of the picture and into the theater. Nobody panicked or ran away, they were just really impressed, and the story mutated in the retelling like a game of telephone.

[@matwetton]

The singing Bush was played by randy Newman. Jefe is Tony plana famous for ugly Betty. And el guapo is alfonso arau who is a legend in Mexican cinema and also in pixars coco. You may also not have recognised the other film execs apart from John lovitz, the other assistant was Phil hartman (snl, the simpsons) and the head of the studio was Joe mantegna (criminal minds, the simpsons). The woman who kisses ned at the end of the film is Rebecca underwood a former playboy playmate

[@mikeserot1410]

@singularrookhart7501 what's the difference between the old restaurant and now? Is it because of Covid?

[@singularrookhart7501]

Yes, covid closures nearly ended it. It's very hard to describe the difference without context, but the best summation is that it used to be weird little oddity, but now it's polished and on display. Before, you could just show up with a family, but now you need to make an appointment and go through a metal detector and bag check.
