Reply #9: I always liked a lot from Three Amigos

[TlalocW]

With Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short.

The Three Amigos who have been mistaken for actual heros and brought to Santo Poco, Mexico, to fight a gang of banditos who terrorize the town - they think they're just there for an acting gig. The night they arrive, they're eating in one of the townspeople's homes, and Chevy Chase is having trouble with putting his meat into a tortilla:
Old woman: We are proud to have the Three Amigos in our home!
Chevy: Do you have anything other than Mexican food?

The Mexican Bandito boss, El Guapo, is talking with his second-in-command about his upcoming birthday party about how there have been many pinatas delivered just for him.

El Guapo: Would you say I have a... plethora of pinatas?
Jefe: (Pauses) Oh, si... You have a plethora.

Then it disengrates into El Guapo chastising Jefe for saying he had a plethora when he didn't know what it was.

Steve Martin's character has been captured by the banditos. "I have 3 demands! First, you stop harrassing the innocent people of Santo Poco! Second, that all the lands of Mexico be redistributed equally amongst the people and a proportional system of government be established consisting of three separate but equal branches - the judicial, the legislative, and the executive! And three, that the girl, Carmen, be returned to me unharmed!"

During El Guapo's birthday party dinner, Jefe presents El Guapo with his present.
Jefe: El Guapo... I, Jefe... and the boys (shot of the banditos all looking down at the ground and kickng rocks embarrassed) all went in on a gift for you.
El Guapo: (Turns to two Germans who are supplying him with guns) What can you say about such men, eh? (Opens his present and delightedly exclaims) A sweater! It's a sweater!
(The banditos' hideout is a former monastery in the deserts of Northern Mexico)

Steve Martin gets the drop on the banditos:
"Hold it right there, El Guapo, or I'll fill you so full of lead that you'll be using your dick as a pencil!"
El Guapo: What do you mean?
Martin: I have no idea!
