The first Pixar movie about the ants, A Bug’s Life<\/em>, took the same plot. It’s amazing how often the plot has been used. If Galaxy Quest<\/em> weren’t so funny, it would probably bother me more.\u201d<\/p>\n 13. STEVEN SPIELBERG ALMOST DIRECTED THE FILM.

\n<\/b>Landis told Movies.com, \u201cProbably the funniest moment for me when shooting was when I had the Three Amigos on horseback in the desert and I was shooting while they were wearing those ridiculous outfits and after having been shooting for three weeks, Chevy objected to a line of dialogue and he said, ‘I don’t think I should say this.’ And, remember, Chevy plays a character named Dusty Bottoms. So I said, ‘Well, why not?’ He said, ‘Because my character would have to be a moron to say this.’ All I could think was, What movie has Chevy been making? So I said, ‘OK, I’ll give it to Marty because it’s a laugh.’ Then Chevy said, ‘I’ll say it!’ It’s one of my favorite moments with an actor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Like \u00a1Three Amigos!, <\/em>films like Galaxy Quest<\/em>\u00a0(1999)\u00a0and Tropic Thunder<\/em>\u00a0(2008)\u00a0have featured movie stars accidentally ending up in real danger. Vulture outlined the many similaritiesbetween Tropic\u00a0Thunder<\/em>\u00a0and \u00a1Three Amigos!,<\/em>\u00a0which include everything from similar catchphrases and movie star cameos (Tom Cruise plays Jewish film producer Les Grossman in Tropic\u00a0Thunder<\/em>\u00a0while Joe Mantegna plays Jewish film producer Harry Flugleman\u00a0in\u00a0\u00a1Three Amigos!<\/em>) to characters eating bats when they\u2019re short on food. Galaxy Quest<\/em>\u00a0meanwhile featured a group of washed up sci-fi stars who end up cavorting with real aliens.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Spielberg considered making the film in the early 1980s with Martin, Robin Williams, and Bill Murray as the leads. Ultimately, he decided to make E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial\u00a0<\/em>(1982)\u00a0instead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
