Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little suprises.

El Guapo: Many pinatas?

Jefe: Oh yes, many!

El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?

Jefe: A what?

El Guapo: A *plethora*.

Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.

El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?

Jefe: Why, El Guapo?

El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.

Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

The three amigos think the letter they receive is signed by El Guapo himself, yet when the typist is shortening the letter for Carmen, he has typed her name at the bottom, which he doesn't cross out. [They never think the message is from El Guapo. El Guapo is simply the last thing they read from the message. They don't say Carmen's name.]

When Dusty is playing the guitar around the camp fire, his hand movement doesn't match the sound at all. In particular, you can hear several chord changes when he doesn't move his hand up or down. [Yes he does, if you play the guitar, it is an open "E" chord. It requires very minimal movement for that chord change. Just move the same chord up one half step, strum all the strings, go back and that's the whole part you see.]

When the Three Amigo's swing on the ropes in the fort at the end of the movie, Dusty swings into a room, but his rope goes right through the roof. Then, when Ned goes, his feet get stuck. This should make him facing the sky, but he is facing down. [The reason he is facing downward and not up, is that his spurs are stuck. Spurs come out from the heels of boots, letting him be stuck in that way and still facing down.]

In the scene where the three amigos are all in the bed talking about what each one is going to do with their share of the money, Lucky says he is going to "buy a big, shiney silver car." However, the movie is set in the twenties and cars were brand new. You would be hard pressed to find a big car, let alone a silver one. [How about the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost? It was made from 1906-1925.]
