Very rare 35mm print.

All other known 35mm prints were lost to the Universal Fire. This copy was found under a Wellington house!

One of the most beloved, most quotable comedies of all time.

Comedy powerhouse cast of Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short. Who travel a dusty road to adventure in this hilariously zany mixture of slapstick, one-liners and sight gags.

The “Three Amigos” are a silent screen comedy act that has seen better days. So has a remote Mexican hamlet called Santo Poco, which is being terrorized by a fierce bandit gang. In desperation, a naïve villager sends the actors a telegram asking for their help.

Thinking they’re being offered a fortune for a personal appearance, the hapless trio arrives in Mexico, only to discover this time they’re dodging real bullets, courtesy of the nasty El Guapo (Alfonso Arau) and his criminal cohorts. Can our bumbling heroes rise to the occasion and save the town, or will this be their final performance?

Directed by comedy guru John Landis (Blues Brothers, Trading Places, An American Werewolf in London).
