itself. Martin reportedly developed tinnitus after filming a pistol-shooting scene. But in an interview with Pitchfork, he clarified that the tinnitus was from years of listening to loud music and performing for noisy crowds. There were difficulties between the main actors and Landis. Most famously, Chase refused to tell a particular joke that he thought would make his character look like a "moron". Chase agreed to do the line after Landis threatened to give it to Short instead. Chase recalled making a "hideous" insult about Landis's supposed lack of stunt precautions at a 50-foot cliff, in reference to Landis's ongoing Twilight Zone accidental death trial, which Landis overheard on live microphone and nearly started a fistfight over. Chase later said that making this movie was "the most fun I've ever had". Deleted scenes Several deleted scenes were included in the Blu-ray release. An alternative opening features Santo Poco being pillaged by El Guapo and his men, prompting Carmen's search for help. Extended sequences of the Three Amigos at the studio mansion and backlot lead into another deleted subplot involving an up-and-coming rival actress at the studio, Miss Rene (Fran Drescher). A billboard featuring a Miss Rene film is visible when the Amigos steal their costumes from the studio. A number of deleted scenes featuring Sam Kinison as a mountain man were lost, as were most of Drescher's other scenes.
