Three Amigos! 1986
This transmission follows three human performers who are dismissed from a Hollywood studio after demanding higher compensation for their work in comedic Western-themed films. Almost immediately, they are mistaken for actual warriors and hired by a remote Mexican village to protect it from a violent gang. The error is never clarified — mostly because the villagers speak sincerely and the actors assume they are being offered another performance opportunity.
The three arrive in elaborate matching outfits, unaware that their mission involves real firearms, real threats, and real consequences. Their initial performance — complete with choreography and catchphrases — is misinterpreted by local bandits as bizarre confidence. This delays their deaths.
Once the confusion wears off, the trio realizes they are not acting in a film. Their reactions include panic, blame, and strategic hiding. However, after a brief spiritual interlude with a singing bush and a man named “El Guapo,” they decide to embrace actual heroism. This decision is based less on ethics than on embarrassment and peer pressure.
They return to the village, train the locals using cinematic tactics, and stage a deception-based counterattack involving sewing machines and mass-produced costumes. The gang is defeated not by force, but by confusion. This method proves remarkably effective.
Conclusion: Humans occasionally discover courage by pretending to be someone else long enough to forget they were pretending. When fiction becomes belief, even entertainers can become strategists — or something close enough.
This record suggests Nebulon could mobilize entire populations by giving them uniforms, a script, and a common enemy. Accuracy is unnecessary. If it feels heroic, they’ll follow through — especially if there’s a theme song.
