We're supposed to believe that all the villagers are pitching in and taking shots, but isn't it the case that every single time we see an 'Amigo' firing, even from a distance, it's clearly one of the main three? Kind of ruins the illusion. I think the only exception is when you see a bunch of people (from the back) running into a building.
shareYeah, that always kind of bugged me. Then again, it kind of fits the tone of this movie, intentional or not.
shareAlso, why are the villagers all armed? The shootout would make more sense if the villagers were just distracting the bandits while the 3 amigos took the real shots.
With the dozens of revolvers, they could have overwhelmed the bandits even without amigo costumes.
Good points. This movie doesn't make much sense whatsoever, though.. almost every scene has something that just doesn't gel or feels very off.
The thing that bugs me the most is probably that the woman that DESPERATELY wants to save the village, WILL NOT OPEN HER LEGS to save the village. Because that's not supposed to be an option in these movies... even though she could easily save so many things that way. "Please don't blow up our church, I will gladly do whatever you want and not complain about it".
How many women have slept with all kinds of guys throughout history without problems? The body counts of modern women are shocking. Yet, this one 'precious flower' is SOOOOOO pure she has no sexuality whatsoever, she has no sexual lust for a high-status man like El Quapo (in real life, she would be like Niagara falls between her big toes) or anything else whatsoever.. she doesn't even reward the heroic men who SAVED THE DAMN VILLAGE...
It's like, what's wrong with her? She should've opened her legs quite a lot to save the village - surely the village is more important to her than her (probably non-existent) virginity and superficial purity that she benefits in no way anyway in that world?
She should've at least rewarded the heroes and thus had an excuse to release her animalistic lust, but nope. She's just a 'pretty flower' that has to remain as pure as possible, even if it means exploding churches and super complicated shootout plot that IN NO WAY required the costumes, as the posts in this thread prove..
As I said, this movie really makes no sense, there's just too much to tackle to list everything, it's just easier to try to find anything that DOES make sense in it. I just can't be arsed, because I HATE these 'Galaxy Quest' plots where the whole village is too stupid, ignorant and dumb to realize they were watching an act, a movie, a TV show, etc. instead of a 'documentary'.. there's NO TRIBE in existence that doesn't tell STORIES to its people.
IKR?
Whats with these women that dont want to be gang raped for the good of the community?
Selfish!
