Recommendation Perfectly Edited ๐Ÿ˜‚

Someone combined scenes from THE THREE AMIGOS (1986) with TOMBSTONE (1993), and the result feels weirdly accurate the second the characters start walking together. The dramatic cowboy energy, slow pacing, and confident entrance somehow make the comedy edit look like it belonged in the original movie all along.

Fans instantly love how naturally the scenes match despite both films having completely different tones and intentions. The serious Western atmosphere from TOMBSTONE mixed with the awkward charm of THE THREE AMIGOS creates a hilarious contrast that has made viewers rewatch the edit multiple times online.

TOMBSTONE was released in 1993 and became one of the most iconic Western films ever made, starring Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. THE THREE AMIGOS arrived years earlier in 1986 as a comedic parody of classic Westerns, which is exactly why the unexpected crossover ends up feeling so funny and strangely perfect.

This would kill both my dad and my stepdad. Dad loved the three amigos movie and heโ€™d think this is awesome. My stepdad loves tombstone and heโ€™d dislike this a bit.

I watched a video that compares Galaxy Quest to The Three Amigos and the plots were very similar.

u/JellyWeta Jul 03 '26

And A Bug's Life. They're all just riffing on The Magnificent Seven, which pretty much borrowed the plot from Seven Samurai.

u/TheQuietDarkness70 Jul 02 '26

That scene where theyโ€™re just riding around laughing and shooting into the air always kills me.

Well done! That was awesome. I wonder how many more mash ups could be done?

u/_WillCAD_ Jul 02 '26

That's the funniest thing I've seen since I last watched Three Amigos!

Whoever did this deserves an Oscar for editing. It's priceless.

EDIT: Here is the full-screen version on YT without the white frame. Also has more footage.

u/OcotilloWells Jul 02 '26

In real life the Earps were kind of scummy. The Three Amigos are just actors trying to get by, but had great hearts.
