During that war, Germany was trying to form an alliance with Mexico, so that if America joined the war, Mexico would invade and the USA wouldn’t be able to join the war in Europe. These details were revealed in the Zimmerman Telegram (1917).

I've seen this movie 1,000 times. I only noticed recently that Ned was a natural gunslinger. He was so fast he inspired the German to become a quick draw, only for the German to determine that it was impossible to be that fast... it wasn't. Ned kills bats for them to eat... Bats... Which come out when it's dark and fly completely erratically. Ned shot multiple bats in dark conditions. Then, when forced to duel, he uses a gun WAY too heavy for him and STILL outdraws the German. Love it!!
I didn't think about the bats before. You're right shooting bats is basically impossible! Something that I was thinking was just a gag was super good foreshadowing!

This was actually Martin Short's 1st feature length movie after starting on SNL. Him and Steve Martin became very close on the set of this movie and ,as you can tell by them still doing projects together, have remained very close. If you like them together, I would also recommend the Father of the Bride films.
He was only on one season of SNL in the "ringer" season. Real established comedic actors came to save the show, Marty was ready to quit, but I loved that season. He was already very famous, well known to viewers of SCTV.
@@kiandraplummer2095 Ashleigh would adore PURE LUCK… I was thinking about the MS movies she’d love… that (at the time I am writing this she has already done IS), as well as Captain Ron.
El Guapo is played by Alfonso Arau. He really is the fourth pillar that carries this movie. It's a shame he isn't better known. He was previously in Romancing the Stone with Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny Devito. There was also a village party scene with fireworks in that movie. Alfonso Arau is also a director. Jefe is played by Tony Plana, who would go on to play Ugly Betty's father.
Arau had a part in another Robert Zemeckis (Romancing the Stone, Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit) film called Used Cars, starring Kurt Russell.
I love this movie. “Do you have anything besides Mexican food?”. That line always kills me. I recently spent a month and a half in Mexico City. I have a very good friend there that has lived there her whole life. She had never seen this movie. We sat down to watch it (with Spanish subtitles) and she laughed her ass off the entire time. And I was worried she might find some of it offensive. Nope! Anyway, it’s a great movie for sure.
Martin Short is a comedic genius who got his start on SCTV with John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Joe Flaherty, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, and Harold Ramis. He starred in the under appreciated but hilarious movie, "Inner Space" with Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. He created the character "Jiminy Glick" who did celebrity interviews on TV and in a feature length film. He also played a recurring character on "Arrested Development" that was a a fitness guru and will make you laugh until you cry. He is a comedian's comedian, and pops up all through the 80's in several films. He and Steve Martin are very close, and he is considered one of the nicest people in entertainment. Well worth exploring his career.
“Captain Ron” is one of my favorite Martin Short movies. It’s of this era of movies, and it’d probably make a decent reaction. It seems to be one of those forgotten movies.
Oh man, I haven't seen that movie in years! 😆 "Where we going skipper?" "I don't know...but if we get lost, we'll just pull in somewheres...and ask directions."
I'll say this loudly to make sure you hear LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS!!!!! It's a musical and it's got Rick Moranis and Steve Martin in the cast. You need this in your life.
Also... it is a unique Steve Martin appearance as his hair is dyed to not be white. He went gray prematurely. He was going gray in his late teens and was totally gray by around age 30 to 32. He was naturally brown haired, so seeing him with non-white/non-gray hair is an oddity in his career.
Little Shop of Horrors with Rick Moranis is one of my favorites but the problem Ashleigh might have if she watches it and does a review is that it's a musical. She probably wouldn't be able to play the songs.
"When you fail so badly that it works..." This is the premise of the whole series of Pink Panther movies---highly recommended. In addition to the very old silent movie, you might also like Mel Brooks's Silent Movie. Not his best work, but it's fun and has segments featuring several big stars.
You might enjoy Father of the Bride. I think you reacted to the original one…but the remake in the early 90’s (maybe late 80’s) is hilarious. Steve Martin and Martin Short are both in it and Steve Martin’s character is more of a “normal” character than the goofy moronic characters in the Jerk and the Three Amigos.
Martin is also good in Bringing Down the House with Queen Latifah, and in Grand Canyon he plays a serious role. Martin Short was in Innerspace with Dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan.
"Can I have your watch when you are dead?", "It's a sweater!!", and the plethora bit are constantly quoted in my family. So glad you enjoyed this movie.
I loved El Guapo’s birthday scene. My favorite line: “You cannot force open the petals of a flower. When the flower is ready, it opens itself up to you.” 🤗 🌸
This movie was a plethora of laughs. Good choice on this one. In the ending, the 3 amigos have the townspeople do what they are best at...to sew like the wind. This kind of reminded me of the ending of Blazing Saddles where they put up a replica of the town. "We could take a walk and you can kiss me on the veranda." ... "Lips would be fine"
I'm going to keep pushing "Parenthood" with Steve Martin. Seeing her reaction to 'Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" a heartfelt comedy, with Steve Martin, PH is the same type of movie.
Steve Martin has won awards for his banjo playing and his albums have been best-sellers. He's one of those rare "renaissance men" who are good at pretty much anything they do. Writer, producer, actor, comedian, singer, musician... there seems to be nothing he can't do well.
Martin Short was also in Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!" It was his next movie after Ed Wood, and I think he himself said that it was probably the kind of movie that Ed would have made if he had the budget. It's very silly, and though I enjoyed it, I know that lots of people didn't, and I honestly have no idea if you'd like it or not. Caution: Martin Short's role is small and not very sympathetic.
Can't hate that movie. It's not good.. But that amazing old school disaster film all star kind of cast.. I really can't think of any quite so exciting since in terms of casting.
I always loved Dusty's reaction to the "little balls".. poor Dusty is just laughing because that joke just went over his head and never ever landed. Lol . And the kids delivery, "can I have your watch when you are dead?" Lol.. So many great parts in this film.
My favorite gags: “lip balm” scene, “kah kah, look up here” scene, the tequila scene, and Ned’s Dorothy Gish scene (so awkward). 🤣 I only recently (in the last few viewings) noticed Dusty dismount his horse only to end up sitting backwards on Ned’s horse during the singing bush scene. When I noticed it I laughed so hard, but I was so mad I had missed it until then!
The armless eyeglasses are called "pince-nez", and they would slightly pinch the nose, keeping them in place. More often than not, they were hinged, to help keep them in place as well. These were simply something that was a style choice in the late 19th and early 20th century.
I was a teacher in Tucson, Arizona where this was filmed. One of my students was an extra. Her mom said that Martin Short was really good with all the kids on the set
I remember as a kid, watching this, I had a laughing fit when the line "amigos dropping out of the sky" and the guy falling on the table. It's one of the few scenes I remember from this movie.
Love this movie, thanks for reacting to it. Watched this recently so it was fresh with me when I saw a reactor reacting to it. Guess what? You’re it! Steve Martin and Martin Short are in a new series on Disney called “Only Murders in the Building” and they are still as funny as heck together. Can’t wait for the second season of it to come out.
Ok, so the four movies you need to see now are “The Magnificent Seven” (the original, not the crappy remake), “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” (for Steve Martin), “City Lights” (for Charlie Chaplin), and “Chaplin” (for Robert Downey Jr as Charlie Chaplin). ‘Nuff said.
The remake of "The Magnificent Seven" isn't bad at all, though of course it's not as great as the original. or the original original, "Seven Samurai". Which she should also watch. :)
My favorite Steve Martin movie is "Roxanne", a romcom update of "Cyrano de Bergerac". Right behind it are "The Father of the Bride" and its sequel, which also feature Martin Short.
Hey Ashleigh, Harry Flugleman is played by Joe Mantegna who's been in a ton of movies but is best known as the voice of Fat Tony from the Simpsons. The dude from "A League of Their Own" is John Lovitz who was on SNL and is the voice of Jay Sherman on "The Critic". The man to John Lovitz's left is the late, great Phil Hartman who was also on SNL (as well as Chevy Chase and Martin Short) and was the voice of Troy McClure on the Simpsons. I miss that dude.
Martin Short is eternally young. He's a Canadian treasure and a comedy icon. I feel that Father of the Bride needs to get attention now since it has Steve and Martin. But Innerspace is also a classic!
Watching this as a kid I never got the joke; I was in my 20s when I finally realized it. Though I still find jokes in Clueless that I missed as a kid as well 😅
There's an indirect Disney influence on this as well. When Steve Martin first came up with the idea, it was called THREE CABALLEROS, which was an animated film Disney made in the 40s when they were launching a charm offensive with Latin America - it teamed Donald Duck with a Brazillian parrot named Jose Carioca and a Mexican rooster named Panchito Pistoles - and there was a hit song that came from it that was covered many times. However, Disney would not let them use the title, hence Amigos instead. Also, when they're sleeping in the desert, they're singing a song called "Blue Shadows on the Trail," which is an original by Randy Newman (who of course went on to score several Disney films), but it's also paying homage to a 40's cowboy song of the same name that was written for another Disney movie of the era, MELODY TIME; it was in the "Pecos Bill" segment.
I was born in 1985. I remember my parents showing this movie to me as a kid. It's so fun to watch you see it with a fresh set of eyes. Love you, and love the channel.
In the early days of motion pictures, stars did often do their own stunts. Comedians Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton were all famous for frequently doing them.
Steve's hair went white in his early twenties, so finding a photo without his white is rare.. (please check out L A Story for a great Steve Martin movie...late nineties and you will love it )
True.. But he does dye it for a few roles.. "My Blue Heaven" and "Little Shop of Horrors" come to mind.. but yeah it's damn weird to see him without it.
"Sew, very old one! Sew like the WIND!" More Chevy Chase movies to get into your queue: Foul Play, Fletch, Spies Like Us. More Steve Martin movies to get into your queue: The Man with Two Brains, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Pennies from Heaven. Stay clear of movies where he reboots classic characters like the Pink Panther remakes or Sgt Bilko. More Martin Short movies to get into your queue: Innerspace, Cross My Heart.
I’ve always loved Steve Martin since I was 6 years of and he did his song “King Tut.” Great footnote that everyone knows, he first (?) worked in the Magic Store in Disneyland!
Bowfinger was Steve Martins last film before he retired. its also the funniest film Eddie Murphy ever did. Martin unloaded on Hollywood it. it is very savage in places. the actress who sleeps around was based on Victoria Tennant, and of course Terence Stamp as the cult leader. its very funny film.
Martin Short is a legend in comedy. These three together was gold back in the day. Also, I love your RC Cola shirt. I can't find it here in Massachusetts but loved it when I lived in the mid west when I was a kid.
6:58 Steve Martin standing in front of the movie billboard for The Duelling Cavalier is a reference to the musical film Singing In The Rain, with Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor. That film was set during the dying days of the silent movies, Hollywood transitioning into 'the talkies', the movies with sound. In that period many big film stars saw their careers ended from one day to the next. Like the Three Amigos did.
Steve Martin started out working in Disneyland selling maps as a kid, then in Frontierland at the magic shop and the Golden horseshoe saloon. That's where he learned to do rope tricks. So yes, he really was doing those tricks.
Speaking of made up silent movies, Mel Brooks wrote and directed one of his own. I know you're a fan of his, so eventually you should check out "Silent Movie" (1976). It's got some classic sight gags :)...
Soooo, this is a spoof of "The Magnificent Seven", which is itself a western remake of the "Seven Samurai", and was later remade as a sci-fi "Battle Beyond the Stars" (with Robert Vaughn playing in both Magnificent Seven, and Battle, and playing the same character, essentially). And now you need to watch "Galaxy Quest". Other such remakes: Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa - the original, remade as: For a Fistful of Dollars - Clint Eastwood film that is part of a trillogy with Good, Bad & Ugly, and For a Few Dollars More. Last Man Standing - Bruce Willis Prohibition-era remake of the above. Omega Doom - Rutger Hauer remake of the same with post-apocalyptic cyborgs Ran by Akira Kurosawa - William Shakespeare's King Lear Throne of Blood by Akira Kurosawa - William Shakespeare's McBeth
She already watch Galaxy Quest. She should have watch Star Trek the Wrath of Khan before doing so but did not. She should have watch The Magnificant Seven before watching this. But did not because Patreon people are stupid. She doesn't like to read movies so Kurosawa is out, unfortunately. But by and large your list is good. I am not familiar with Omega Doom. But Omega Man with Charlton Heston is awesome.
@@jakubfabisiak9810 I tried watching that last night. I only remembered that you suggested it and not what you said about it. So while I was watching I thought this is like a mash up of Yojimbo and Blade Runner. I admit I nodded off for a bit in the first half and watched the second half. I don't see much reason to go back and rewatch the first half. Rutger Hauer doesn't have the greatest success rate.
If you end up liking Martin Short try "innerspace" also starring Meg Ryan & Dennis Quaid, and if you liked Chevy Chase in "Vacation" and want another recommendation since he's in "Three Amigos" as well try "Spies like Us" with Dan Aykroyd from "Trading Places".
The Singing Bush is voiced by Randy Newman (though his voice was pitched up for comic effect), one of the writers of this film and written three songs for this movie. And yes, it's THE Randy Newman, who wrote the film score for Pixar movies Toy Story 1 to 4, Monsters Inc and University, A Bug's Life and Cars 1 and 3 and Disney movie The Princess and The Frog, plus several other movies and singer and writer of songs such as You've Got a Friend in Me, Simo Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear and Short People.
This is a funny western comedy! It's one of my favorites! They did the exact same plot line in GALAXY QUEST as well. Please watch it! Also rock star Meat Loaf, real name Marvin Aday, passed away yesterday at the age of 74. He played Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Back when silent movies first came out, some people thought they were real/not movies. It was so foreign, you know? PS father of the bride has steve & martin in it! So great- please watch!
"I'll come back one day" "Why?" I'd forgotten how funny and sweet this movie is. Oh Ashleigh, we love you, don't ever change! Also, if you want more Martin Short in a leading role - Innerspace (1987) is brilliant, and you'd probably be the first to do a reaction to it - hugely underrated movie.
Ashleigh's reaction to Chevy trying to sing like a Mariachi was hilarious!!! Not that it should matter, but I'm Latino and that scene was really funny. :)
I have an original copy of "Sweet Little Buttercup" on 78rmp record. I love this movie. So many hilarious lines! The guy with the glasses attached to his noise (those are often referred to Nez Pierce, and the pinch to the nose...) is the late Phil Hartman a Saturday Night Live alum, and helped Paul Rubens create Pee Wee's Playhouse. John Lovitz (the agent in League of their Own) is also an SNL alum, and has many funny roles in movies.
Martin Short is also an SNL alum, as is Chevy Chase. And Steve Martin was a frequent guest on SNL in the early days. Basically, it's an SNL-heavy movie.
Now that you mention silent movies, of course you have to watch Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" :) As for Martin Short, he's probably my favorite of the three, though he's been in far fewer movies and never made it as big as the other two. Make sure to watch "Innerspace" and "Three Fugitives" to see more of him (and a few new introductions). ... oh, and you can also watch "Father of the bride" to see more of him and Steve Martin together.
That cattle joke was hilarious!! It was a joke and obviously not meant to be taken seriously. This is a favorite family movie i grew up with. We’re american of mexican descent, and it’s funny when non mexican people think it’s offensive. It’s hysterical! We use the word “plethora” a lot, and it must be in El Guapo and Jefes voice. My dar bought me the soundtrack on CD years ago. Thanks for reacting to it! Bonus that you liked it. I totally get the 4.5 rating. It COULD do with a few more one liners.
Yes. At the time they were three big comedy names. Of course you know that they went on to other movies and Chevy Chase and Steve Martin are still in the spotlight one way or another but Martin Short slowed down a lot on his acting career after the death of his wife. He very seldom steps in front of the camera any more .
@@victormargraf7180 I spoke about his wife dying and him stepping out of the spotlight. My final sentence was about it being his choice. It seemed like I was speaking about his wife dying.
Martin Short was in another from this time. It's called Innerspace it has Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. That movie is a more light hearted take on a great scifi movie called Fantastic Voyage with Rachel Welch.
I'm with you. The "Jefe, what is a plethora?" sequence is one of my all time favorites. Anytime someone uses the word, I asked that question. I get mostly blanks stares. (I will admit to putting the word plethora into conversations to say this line as well).
Only Murders in the Building was great. You should give it another shot, Ashleigh. Martin Short is hilarious in it, as is Steve Martin. I love an NRBQ reference with an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Used to see them perform when I lived back east. If you want to see a silent movie, then I suggest The Gold Rush with Charlie Chaplin. The General with Buster Keaton is also considered one of the best. Then there is Silent Movie byMel Brooks which parodies the silent movie genre. If you want to watch the funniest movie, IMO, that Steve Martin made, then watch All Of Me ith Lily Tomlin.
@@theman4884 Hah! Thanks for that. It's been a while since I've heard that song. Used to see them in the 70s at a bar called The Rusty Nail in Sunderland MA. They were always a fun show.
Only Murders had a clever start but failed due to its length and lackluster writing. It shouldn't have been more than 4 episodes based on the actual amount of story they developed. It brought in too many side characters and got sidetracked with them rather than focusing on the main three.
@@firstenforemost - Well, it *is* a murder mystery, and it's in the nature of a murder mystery to have a large cast and many side plots in order to obscure what's actually relevant to the murder itself.
Yup, I loved Only Murders in the Building and very much looking forward to the next season. I didn't expect to like Selena Gomez as an actress but she was able to hold her own against the duo of Martin Short and Steve Martin. Such a good show. The fully silent episode was bizarre at first, but by the end I actually kind of liked it. So unique and a different way to tell a story.
I love this movie its so good. The only part that I find like actually sad is the gunfight with Ned and the German. The only way Ned could prove to the German that he was right to believe in Ned and that he wasn't a fraud was to kill him. It's actually kinda sad when you think of it.
Also that Ned was in danger of his life. If he didn't shoot the German, the German would shoot him. I think that had more to do with it than any form of pride. -My interpretation.
Every time I see anything RC related it makes me think of my grandparents. They always only kept RC in the house (cheaper then Coke) and now it is the only soda I will drink. Love the stuff!!
As a kid our family only had a few dubbed VHS tapes of certain films and this was one of them , I saw it so many times that I at one point could quote every line . Absolute classic !
We had this movie on VHS while growing up and my brother, dad, and I would watch it all the time. I can quote pretty much every line. It never gets old lol 😂
Another good review. Martin Short is an acquired taste and has had made me laugh very hard at times, but often misses the mark, imo. Please give the series on hulu another chance. I think it is a very well done story and quite funny at times.
The music number in the des😁😁ert with the animals just made the movie for me. I never realized that they had added "mushrooms" to their meal. It would certainly explain the next few scenes.
Based on her reaction to this type of story, I am once again hoping Ashleigh reacts to "Galaxy Quest".
I haven't seen this particular movie, but it looks like a parody of "The Magnificent Seven", which Ashleigh should also see.
@@melenatorr It's a parody of Star Trek.

He was GREAT in Inner Space. Haven't seen that movie in a while, I need to go back and re-watch.
Of course Martin Short is one of the nicest people in entertainment.......he is afterall....Canadian!
@@Grandmommoms I also liked Clifford...
"Genius."
“Captain Ron” is one of my favorite Martin Short movies. It’s of this era of movies, and it’d probably make a decent reaction. It seems to be one of those forgotten movies.
Loved Captain Ron! Great showcase for Martin Short and Kurt Russell
Oh man, I haven't seen that movie in years! 😆
"Where we going skipper?"
"I don't know...but if we get lost, we'll just pull in somewheres...and ask directions."
The THUD sound made when Dusty drops the invisible swordsman's finger and says "Yep...He's dead alright" had me dying every time! Love this movie.
it's his wrist, not his finger... have you never seen anyone check someone's pulse before?
This movie is the entire reason that I know the word "plethora." And I get the feeling I'm very much not alone in that. 😄
Lmao, same! 😂😂😂
Probably the only time I've ever heard that word used in movie dialogue.
Every time I come across it, I say it exactly like El Guapo
I can recite that scene word for word. It's been burned into my memory since I was 12.
ME TOO hahaha!
"Sew, old one! Sew like the wind!" is one of the greatest lines in cinematic history.
Speaking of plaid:
"Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" is another great Steve Martin movie!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Aaargh! You stuck your finger in my bullet hole.
I'll say this loudly to make sure you hear LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS!!!!! It's a musical and it's got Rick Moranis and Steve Martin in the cast. You need this in your life.
OMG YES. Probably the best part in Steve Martins career. "I'll be your (redacted)!!! AND A SUCCESS!"
Yes - Little Shop of Horrors. And, Steve Martin does NOT have grey hair in it.
Also... it is a unique Steve Martin appearance as his hair is dyed to not be white. He went gray prematurely. He was going gray in his late teens and was totally gray by around age 30 to 32. He was naturally brown haired, so seeing him with non-white/non-gray hair is an oddity in his career.
Little Shop of Horrors with Rick Moranis is one of my favorites but the problem Ashleigh might have if she watches it and does a review is that it's a musical. She probably wouldn't be able to play the songs.
YES PLEASE!!!
"When you fail so badly that it works..." This is the premise of the whole series of Pink Panther movies---highly recommended. In addition to the very old silent movie, you might also like Mel Brooks's Silent Movie. Not his best work, but it's fun and has segments featuring several big stars.
YES! She HAS to watch the Pink Panther movies!!!
Any Blake Edwards pink panther films, I believe they were the funnier ones. The slow motion fight scenes with Kato, always made me cry laughing. 🤣🤣🤣
You might enjoy Father of the Bride. I think you reacted to the original one…but the remake in the early 90’s (maybe late 80’s) is hilarious. Steve Martin and Martin Short are both in it and Steve Martin’s character is more of a “normal” character than the goofy moronic characters in the Jerk and the Three Amigos.
Franc, not Frank.
Martin is also good in Bringing Down the House with Queen Latifah, and in Grand Canyon he plays a serious role.
Martin Short was in Innerspace with Dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan.
Father of the Bride is such a lovely movie. One of my favs.
"Can I have your watch when you are dead?", "It's a sweater!!", and the plethora bit are constantly quoted in my family. So glad you enjoyed this movie.
This was my childhood movie, man I still remember the lines and recite them , I will never get tired of the singing bush.
Same
I loved El Guapo’s birthday scene. My favorite line: “You cannot force open the petals of a flower. When the flower is ready, it opens itself up to you.” 🤗 🌸
This movie was a plethora of laughs. Good choice on this one. In the ending, the 3 amigos have the townspeople do what they are best at...to sew like the wind. This kind of reminded me of the ending of Blazing Saddles where they put up a replica of the town. "We could take a walk and you can kiss me on the veranda." ... "Lips would be fine"
Steve Martin is that good with ropes. He learned it while working at Disneyland in his teens.
He wasn’t white haired then. 🍑
I'm going to keep pushing "Parenthood" with Steve Martin. Seeing her reaction to 'Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" a heartfelt comedy, with Steve Martin, PH is the same type of movie.
Steve Martin has won awards for his banjo playing and his albums have been best-sellers. He's one of those rare "renaissance men" who are good at pretty much anything they do. Writer, producer, actor, comedian, singer, musician... there seems to be nothing he can't do well.
"Bowfinger" is great...It stars Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy
Keep it together!
Martin Short was also in Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!" It was his next movie after Ed Wood, and I think he himself said that it was probably the kind of movie that Ed would have made if he had the budget. It's very silly, and though I enjoyed it, I know that lots of people didn't, and I honestly have no idea if you'd like it or not. Caution: Martin Short's role is small and not very sympathetic.
ACK ACK ACK!

Can't hate that movie. It's not good.. But that amazing old school disaster film all star kind of cast.. I really can't think of any quite so exciting since in terms of casting.
I love Mars Attacks, but to see one actually starring Martin Short I’d suggest Innerspace (1987).
My favorite Martin Short is when he plays against type. Im all about Captain Ron.
I always loved Dusty's reaction to the "little balls".. poor Dusty is just laughing because that joke just went over his head and never ever landed. Lol . And the kids delivery, "can I have your watch when you are dead?" Lol.. So many great parts in this film.
My favorite gags: “lip balm” scene, “kah kah, look up here” scene, the tequila scene, and Ned’s Dorothy Gish scene (so awkward). 🤣
I only recently (in the last few viewings) noticed Dusty dismount his horse only to end up sitting backwards on Ned’s horse during the singing bush scene. When I noticed it I laughed so hard, but I was so mad I had missed it until then!
The Little Buttercup scene and the “do you have something else besides Mexican food” line always crack me up. 😆😆😆😆
The armless eyeglasses are called "pince-nez", and they would slightly pinch the nose, keeping them in place. More often than not, they were hinged, to help keep them in place as well. These were simply something that was a style choice in the late 19th and early 20th century.
you can still buy pince-nez frames
Teddy Roosevelt had worn a pair when he was president. :)
I was a teacher in Tucson, Arizona where this was filmed. One of my students was an extra. Her mom said that Martin Short was really good with all the kids on the set
What school did you teach at?
Awww thats so cool!
If you want another Martin Short movie, try out Innerspace. It stars Dennis Quaid, Martin Short and Meg Ryan.
Fantastic movie!
I totally second this! It also has my most favorite performance by Robert Picardo!
Yeah, Innerspace is fun.
@@Clownboy15 My second fave. My first is his performance in Motorama.
@@katenunyabizness9221 I think mine would be as Meg the water witch in “Legend” with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. Though you would never know it was him!
I remember as a kid, watching this, I had a laughing fit when the line "amigos dropping out of the sky" and the guy falling on the table. It's one of the few scenes I remember from this movie.
Love this movie, thanks for reacting to it. Watched this recently so it was fresh with me when I saw a reactor reacting to it. Guess what? You’re it!
Steve Martin and Martin Short are in a new series on Disney called “Only Murders in the Building” and they are still as funny as heck together. Can’t wait for the second season of it to come out.
Ok, so the four movies you need to see now are “The Magnificent Seven” (the original, not the crappy remake), “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” (for Steve Martin), “City Lights” (for Charlie Chaplin), and “Chaplin” (for Robert Downey Jr as Charlie Chaplin). ‘Nuff said.
Ive been telling her about Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for years.
They remade 'The Magnificent Seven'? What was it called, 'The Seven?'
greta ideas, and I predict she will laugh out loud at some scenes i n D ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
The remake of "The Magnificent Seven" isn't bad at all, though of course it's not as great as the original. or the original original, "Seven Samurai". Which she should also watch. :)
Chaplin is a masterpiece for sure and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and what a great duet with Michael Caine!
My favorite Steve Martin movie is "Roxanne", a romcom update of "Cyrano de Bergerac". Right behind it are "The Father of the Bride" and its sequel, which also feature Martin Short.
ROXANNE
Yes, I still adore Father of the Bride" 🥰
Hey Ashleigh, Harry Flugleman is played by Joe Mantegna who's been in a ton of movies but is best known as the voice of Fat Tony from the Simpsons. The dude from "A League of Their Own" is John Lovitz who was on SNL and is the voice of Jay Sherman on "The Critic". The man to John Lovitz's left is the late, great Phil Hartman who was also on SNL (as well as Chevy Chase and Martin Short) and was the voice of Troy McClure on the Simpsons.
I miss that dude.
Another movie starring John Lovitz would be High school high, where he plays THE Richard Clark:))
Phil Hartman was also in Jingle All the Way which Ashley reviewed
Joe Mantegna was also in House of Games written and directed by David Mamet. Excellent movie!
Phil hartman also voiced Lionel hutez in the simpsons
The part with the Invisible Swordsman gets me every time, LOL!
Martin Short is eternally young. He's a Canadian treasure and a comedy icon. I feel that Father of the Bride needs to get attention now since it has Steve and Martin. But Innerspace is also a classic!
“Didn’t you notice it’s little balls?” Funniest joke in movie history!!!
Watching this as a kid I never got the joke; I was in my 20s when I finally realized it. Though I still find jokes in Clueless that I missed as a kid as well 😅
I tried explaining this joke to an ex girlfriend 4 different times. Still didn't get it. 😕
I use that joke fairly often
How about Steve Martin’s little fireman joke? That’s from All of Me with Lily Tomlin.
Steve Martin - ROXANNE. Chevy Chase - FUNNY FARM. Martin Short - INNERSPACE. All underrated classics.
I’d go with The Jerk before Roxanne-but yes, agreed!
@@MrDuneedon Ashleigh has already reacted to The Jerk. Roxanne is a great follow up.
@@Rogn1 I totally missed that one. Will have to go back and check it out!
Roxanne is excellent
There's an indirect Disney influence on this as well. When Steve Martin first came up with the idea, it was called THREE CABALLEROS, which was an animated film Disney made in the 40s when they were launching a charm offensive with Latin America - it teamed Donald Duck with a Brazillian parrot named Jose Carioca and a Mexican rooster named Panchito Pistoles - and there was a hit song that came from it that was covered many times. However, Disney would not let them use the title, hence Amigos instead. Also, when they're sleeping in the desert, they're singing a song called "Blue Shadows on the Trail," which is an original by Randy Newman (who of course went on to score several Disney films), but it's also paying homage to a 40's cowboy song of the same name that was written for another Disney movie of the era, MELODY TIME; it was in the "Pecos Bill" segment.
I love that movie
if you're basely be screwed already 15:30
Have you been to Bahia, Donald? Well, let's go!
@@NevTheDeranged what?
@@erainmartinez8175 it would make sense if you'd seen Three Caballeros ;)
300 Men chipped in on a sweater for El Guapo... That was very touching. It brought a tear to my eye. Such devotion.
I was born in 1985. I remember my parents showing this movie to me as a kid. It's so fun to watch you see it with a fresh set of eyes. Love you, and love the channel.
In the early days of motion pictures, stars did often do their own stunts. Comedians Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton were all famous for frequently doing them.
Back then they had to be acrobats! Some of those stunts in the silent era were insanely dangerous!
For westerns, I think Tom Mix also fits.
@@cuffzter Oh, absolutely, he does. Tom Mix just never occurred to me, because I'm not a big western fan, comedies are much more my speed, LOL.
She absolutely needs to watch those films
Steve's hair went white in his early twenties, so finding a photo without his white is rare.. (please check out L A Story for a great Steve Martin movie...late nineties and you will love it )
True.. But he does dye it for a few roles.. "My Blue Heaven" and "Little Shop of Horrors" come to mind.. but yeah it's damn weird to see him without it.
@@mcgilj1 true, but I was thinking naturally rather than for roles....lol my blue heaven ..
almost forgot about that gem....
@@Lisa-co9ng "it's a veg-e-table..." His cadence in that film just kills me.
"Sew, very old one! Sew like the WIND!"
More Chevy Chase movies to get into your queue: Foul Play, Fletch, Spies Like Us.
More Steve Martin movies to get into your queue: The Man with Two Brains, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Pennies from Heaven. Stay clear of movies where he reboots classic characters like the Pink Panther remakes or Sgt Bilko.
More Martin Short movies to get into your queue: Innerspace, Cross My Heart.
Steve Martin's "Parenthood" is great, with Rick Moranis and a very young Keanu Reeves.
@@SuprousOxide Spies Like Us, Innerspace, and Parenthood are the ones I remember most. I'm guessing she already seen Roxanne?
I’ve always loved Steve Martin since I was 6 years of and he did his song “King Tut.” Great footnote that everyone knows, he first (?) worked in the Magic Store in Disneyland!
Great movie. Another great movie with Steve Martin is "Bowfinger", also staring Eddie Murphy.
I would also suggest watching "Napoleon Dynamite".
OMG, I absolutely lost my shit laughing when Martin made Murphy cross the street!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Bowfinger was Steve Martins last film before he retired. its also the funniest film Eddie Murphy ever did. Martin unloaded on Hollywood it. it is very savage in places. the actress who sleeps around was based on Victoria Tennant, and of course Terence Stamp as the cult leader. its very funny film.
Chevy Chase has described the making of this movie as "the most fun I've ever had.”
Martin Short is a legend in comedy. These three together was gold back in the day.
Also, I love your RC Cola shirt. I can't find it here in Massachusetts but loved it when I lived in the mid west when I was a kid.
El Guapo was played by Alfonso Arau, he also played the Juan the Bell Maker who loved Joan Wilders books in Romancing The Stone.
6:58 Steve Martin standing in front of the movie billboard for The Duelling Cavalier is a reference to the musical film Singing In The Rain, with Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor.
That film was set during the dying days of the silent movies, Hollywood transitioning into 'the talkies', the movies with sound. In that period many big film stars saw their careers ended from one day to the next. Like the Three Amigos did.
Steve Martin started out working in Disneyland selling maps as a kid, then in Frontierland at the magic shop and the Golden horseshoe saloon. That's where he learned to do rope tricks. So yes, he really was doing those tricks.
Martin Short is great in "innerspace" fun 80s movie.
Speaking of made up silent movies, Mel Brooks wrote and directed one of his own. I know you're a fan of his, so eventually you should check out "Silent Movie" (1976). It's got some classic sight gags :)...
"Pure Luck" starring Martin Short is probably the film that gave me the most belly laughs. PLEASE react to it! 💜💜
omg THat scene with MArtin being bit by bee and then the end scene with DANNY GLOVER are HILARIOUS
Also Innerspace!
Yes! That is my favorite Martin Short movie!
Oh my god the bee sting bit lmao
Yes!
“Okay, Ozzy Osbourne.” Great line! Laughed so hard!
I last saw this in theaters when I was a kid. It's amazing how much of this i remember.
I find it adorable when folks marvel over the fact that decades ago, people looked younger than their present-day selves. 😛
Yeah kinda dumb. Like um yes people look different than they did 25 years ago. Lol
NGL I looked younger 20 years ago as well.. a little.
@@rmnffx yep you are right lol
I don't know about that. I look quite similar to what I looked like many years ago.
Bald head and no teeth.
Soooo, this is a spoof of "The Magnificent Seven", which is itself a western remake of the "Seven Samurai", and was later remade as a sci-fi "Battle Beyond the Stars" (with Robert Vaughn playing in both Magnificent Seven, and Battle, and playing the same character, essentially).
And now you need to watch "Galaxy Quest".
Other such remakes:
Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa - the original, remade as:
For a Fistful of Dollars - Clint Eastwood film that is part of a trillogy with Good, Bad & Ugly, and For a Few Dollars More.
Last Man Standing - Bruce Willis Prohibition-era remake of the above.
Omega Doom - Rutger Hauer remake of the same with post-apocalyptic cyborgs
Ran by Akira Kurosawa - William Shakespeare's King Lear
Throne of Blood by Akira Kurosawa - William Shakespeare's McBeth
She already watch Galaxy Quest. She should have watch Star Trek the Wrath of Khan before doing so but did not. She should have watch The Magnificant Seven before watching this. But did not because Patreon people are stupid.
She doesn't like to read movies so Kurosawa is out, unfortunately. But by and large your list is good. I am not familiar with Omega Doom. But Omega Man with Charlton Heston is awesome.
@@theman4884 Omega Doom is a post-apocalyptic Yojimbo with cyborgs fighting over a town after humans went extinct. Rutger Hauer in the main role.
@@theman4884 Did she? Did it get blocked or something? Because it's not anywhere on her channel.
@@johnplaysgames3120 I can't find it either but I could have sworn she did.
@@jakubfabisiak9810 I tried watching that last night. I only remembered that you suggested it and not what you said about it. So while I was watching I thought this is like a mash up of Yojimbo and Blade Runner. I admit I nodded off for a bit in the first half and watched the second half. I don't see much reason to go back and rewatch the first half. Rutger Hauer doesn't have the greatest success rate.
If you end up liking Martin Short try "innerspace" also starring Meg Ryan & Dennis Quaid, and if you liked Chevy Chase in "Vacation" and want another recommendation since he's in "Three Amigos" as well try "Spies like Us" with Dan Aykroyd from "Trading Places".
Yeah, but she should stay away from the 'Fletch' movies, those were really awfully written and not one of Chevy's better works on film.
@@jeffburnham6611 The first Fletch was quite good.
I second this...Spies Like Us and Innerspace are both great :)
@@jeffburnham6611 strongly disagree. Fletch is fantastic.
Fletch has a plethora of quotable lines. Fletch lives has some good moments too, but not as good as the original.
"RC Cola and a Moon Pie" *chefs kiss* Potentially the most Tennessee thing I've heard you say yet. Love it.
The Singing Bush is voiced by Randy Newman (though his voice was pitched up for comic effect), one of the writers of this film and written three songs for this movie. And yes, it's THE Randy Newman, who wrote the film score for Pixar movies Toy Story 1 to 4, Monsters Inc and University, A Bug's Life and Cars 1 and 3 and Disney movie The Princess and The Frog, plus several other movies and singer and writer of songs such as You've Got a Friend in Me, Simo Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear and Short People.
This is a funny western comedy! It's one of my favorites! They did the exact same plot line in GALAXY QUEST as well. Please watch it!
Also rock star Meat Loaf, real name Marvin Aday, passed away yesterday at the age of 74. He played Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Then the exact same plot line appeared AGAIN in "A Bug's Life".
Similar concept, different plot.
Back when silent movies first came out, some people thought they were real/not movies. It was so foreign, you know? PS father of the bride has steve & martin in it! So great- please watch!
If you liked Martin Short with Steve Martin in this movie:
I HIGHLY suggest watching "Father of the Bride" 1 and 2.
But first watch the original with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor.
"I'll come back one day"
"Why?"
I'd forgotten how funny and sweet this movie is. Oh Ashleigh, we love you, don't ever change! Also, if you want more Martin Short in a leading role - Innerspace (1987) is brilliant, and you'd probably be the first to do a reaction to it - hugely underrated movie.
Ashleigh's reaction to Chevy trying to sing like a Mariachi was hilarious!!! Not that it should matter, but I'm Latino and that scene was really funny. :)
I have an original copy of "Sweet Little Buttercup" on 78rmp record. I love this movie. So many hilarious lines! The guy with the glasses attached to his noise (those are often referred to Nez Pierce, and the pinch to the nose...) is the late Phil Hartman a Saturday Night Live alum, and helped Paul Rubens create Pee Wee's Playhouse. John Lovitz (the agent in League of their Own) is also an SNL alum, and has many funny roles in movies.
Phil Hartman also played Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz in The Simpsons.
Martin Short is also an SNL alum, as is Chevy Chase. And Steve Martin was a frequent guest on SNL in the early days. Basically, it's an SNL-heavy movie.
I think the glasses without sidearms are called pince-nez glasses.
@@kathyyoung5038 correct! Nez Pierce (Perce) is a Native American tribe in Idaho!
Now that you mention silent movies, of course you have to watch Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" :)
As for Martin Short, he's probably my favorite of the three, though he's been in far fewer movies and never made it as big as the other two. Make sure to watch "Innerspace" and "Three Fugitives" to see more of him (and a few new introductions).
... oh, and you can also watch "Father of the bride" to see more of him and Steve Martin together.
Martin Short’s brilliance cannot be overstated even though he’s always been under appreciated.
i was thinking the same thing about "Silent Movie" when she said that!
Marty Feldman is so funny in “Silent Movie”
"Silent Movie" is not silent!!!
The guy in the office with the magic glasses was played by Phil Hartman, who voiced Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz on the Simpsons.
And the studio head is Joe Mantegna who was Fat Tony
That cattle joke was hilarious!! It was a joke and obviously not meant to be taken seriously.
This is a favorite family movie i grew up with. We’re american of mexican descent, and it’s funny when non mexican people think it’s offensive. It’s hysterical! We use the word “plethora” a lot, and it must be in El Guapo and Jefes voice. My dar bought me the soundtrack on CD years ago. Thanks for reacting to it! Bonus that you liked it.
I totally get the 4.5 rating. It COULD do with a few more one liners.
Martin Short has a good singing voice. He's been on Broadway and sang in animated roles like in The Prince of Egypt and Legends of Oz.
Yes. At the time they were three big comedy names. Of course you know that they went on to other movies and Chevy Chase and Steve Martin are still in the spotlight one way or another but Martin Short slowed down a lot on his acting career after the death of his wife. He very seldom steps in front of the camera any more .
You really wanna rephrase that last sentence 😅
edit: Thanks.
@@Reiswaffel It took me a few seconds before I got it. I will amend my remark immediately.🤣🤣
@@mass4552 Now I'm curious what the original remark was!
@@victormargraf7180 I spoke about his wife dying and him stepping out of the spotlight. My final sentence was about it being his choice. It seemed like I was speaking about his wife dying.
Martin Short was in another from this time. It's called Innerspace it has Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. That movie is a more light hearted take on a great scifi movie called Fantastic Voyage with Rachel Welch.
I absolutely love this movie. El Guapo’s “birthday scene” is one of my favorite sequences in movie history.
I'm with you. The "Jefe, what is a plethora?" sequence is one of my all time favorites. Anytime someone uses the word, I asked that question. I get mostly blanks stares. (I will admit to putting the word plethora into conversations to say this line as well).
@@herr1375 Hahaha, same here! I am also known to preemptively say “it’s a sweater!” before other people open Christmas presents.
@@MrDuneedon My whole family does that. And we're freaking Mexicans.
I'd love to see a reaction to "Fletch" and another classic that I think most young people never heard of "Modern Problems".
For years at Christmas, any time we opened a gift of any size, we said, "It's a sweater!'
Only Murders in the Building was great. You should give it another shot, Ashleigh. Martin Short is hilarious in it, as is Steve Martin. I love an NRBQ reference with an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Used to see them perform when I lived back east.
If you want to see a silent movie, then I suggest The Gold Rush with Charlie Chaplin. The General with Buster Keaton is also considered one of the best. Then there is Silent Movie byMel Brooks which parodies the silent movie genre.
If you want to watch the funniest movie, IMO, that Steve Martin made, then watch All Of Me ith Lily Tomlin.
ruclips.net/video/N96igyRXlFY/видео.html
@@theman4884 Hah! Thanks for that. It's been a while since I've heard that song. Used to see them in the 70s at a bar called The Rusty Nail in Sunderland MA. They were always a fun show.
Only Murders had a clever start but failed due to its length and lackluster writing. It shouldn't have been more than 4 episodes based on the actual amount of story they developed. It brought in too many side characters and got sidetracked with them rather than focusing on the main three.
@@firstenforemost - Well, it *is* a murder mystery, and it's in the nature of a murder mystery to have a large cast and many side plots in order to obscure what's actually relevant to the murder itself.
Yup, I loved Only Murders in the Building and very much looking forward to the next season. I didn't expect to like Selena Gomez as an actress but she was able to hold her own against the duo of Martin Short and Steve Martin. Such a good show. The fully silent episode was bizarre at first, but by the end I actually kind of liked it. So unique and a different way to tell a story.
I love this movie its so good. The only part that I find like actually sad is the gunfight with Ned and the German. The only way Ned could prove to the German that he was right to believe in Ned and that he wasn't a fraud was to kill him. It's actually kinda sad when you think of it.
Also that Ned was in danger of his life. If he didn't shoot the German, the German would shoot him. I think that had more to do with it than any form of pride. -My interpretation.
Every time I see anything RC related it makes me think of my grandparents. They always only kept RC in the house (cheaper then Coke) and now it is the only soda I will drink. Love the stuff!!
Then you'd probably like Pepsi now, some time in the last few years it seems to have downgraded its flavor to taste like RC.
As a kid our family only had a few dubbed VHS tapes of certain films and this was one of them , I saw it so many times that I at one point could quote every line .
Absolute classic !
I've seen many of her videos but my favorite moment out of all of them is how hard she laughs when Dusty shoots the Invisible Swordsman.
Chevy Chase used to be in a band and he has perfect pitch...so I think it's safe to say he has musical talent as well 😊
YES! Omg! My grandmother had this as one of her 3 VHS movies and we watched it almost every weekend in the late 80s. LOVE IT!
RC Cola and a Moon Pie... Amen! Growing up in West Virginia, I used to walk a mile down the railroad racks for that combo, and some bubble gum cards.😊

"Are you the Singing Bush?"
"No, that's the Bush that Sings, the Singing Bush is his cousin"
The “Kiss me on the veranda” setup (“lips are fine”) might be one of my favorite lines of all time. Wish we could’ve got your reaction
This, TOTALLY!
I liked the line from 'The Great Race' where a fake monk frees Tony Curtis, "He escaped with the aid of a small friar!" "He escaped with a chicken?"
We had this movie on VHS while growing up and my brother, dad, and I would watch it all the time. I can quote pretty much every line. It never gets old lol 😂
Another good review. Martin Short is an acquired taste and has had made me laugh very hard at times, but often misses the mark, imo. Please give the series on hulu another chance. I think it is a very well done story and quite funny at times.
The music number in the des😁😁ert with the animals just made the movie for me. I never realized that they had added "mushrooms" to their meal. It would certainly explain the next few scenes.
omg your face at 8:50 almost killed me.
Also for more Martin Short, I recommend InnerSpace.
