    • Quotes
      • Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little surprises.
      • 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?
    • Alternate versions
      In the original version of the movie and in the original home video, the scene in Harry Flugelman's office normally concludes with Flugelman shouting, "Your asses have just been streamlined! The Three Amigos are history." For some reason this is missing from the 2011 DVD release and the Blu-ray version.
