Three Amigos [Blu-ray] Reviews

Three Amigos! is the story of a Mexican village terrorized by bandits and their efforts to recruit outsiders to fight for their cause. If this sounds much like The Magnificent Seven, or The Seven Samurai, the similarities are deliberate since Three Amigos! is essentially a parody of The Magnificent Seven played for laughs. Elmer Bernstein even created a film score for Three Amigos! that is reminiscent of his memorable theme composed over 25 years earlier for The Magnificent Seven. The villainous El Guapo is played by Alfonso Arau, who was not in The Magnificent Seven but played Captain Herrera in Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch. The location shooting at Old Tucson Studios helps to complete the film’s connection to classic Westerns.
