Released in 1986 and running 104 minutes we have a comedy movie vehicle perhaps inspired by a cross between the "Magnificent 7" and "Blazzing Saddles",both of which are reviewed on this blog,but its a Lorne Michaels project for Chevy Chase and Steve Martin and Martin Short that he had the great John Landis direct.Add to the group a bunch of great supporting actors including John Lovett and Joe Mantegna and Tony Plana to name but a few,including Alfonso Arau who plays El Guapo and you might have seen on in the cult classic"El Topo"also reviewed on this blog.The results are hilarious.Its obvious 1999's "Galaxy Quest",which was reviewed on this blog,drew as much inspiration if not more,from this movie than the TV series"Star Trek".I only took 1 star off because silly satire and a dated era gone by,is not everyones cup of tea.However I like it !!!! Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.Long live silent movies and Viva Santo Poco !!!
Three out of work silent movie actors are accidentally drawn to a Mexican village that is being harassed by a gang of outlaws. The three, 'Ned', 'Lucky Day' and 'Dusty Bottoms' play 'Lone Ranger' types in their movies, but must play their parts for real now. Written by Rob Hartill
