When the Three Amigos receive a telegram from a Mexican town offering them money for their services, they assume that they will be making some quick cash for a publicity appearance and not for fighting off real bandits. Colors reproduction is excellent, especially the vivid reds and blues, which are rendered without a trace of chroma noise or bleeding. Additionally, flesh tones appear very natural and the golden desert hues appear quite inviting.
Blacks are very accurate and the image has very good contrast under all lighting conditions.
Digital compression artifacts never really become bothersome. Of course, as good as this transfer looks, there are some flaws. The film element used for the transfer has a few more blemishes than one would like to see on a movie from 1986. Even worse is the fact that a portion of the element seems to be damaged along its sprocket holes. The damage causes to image to weave left and right at about fifty-three minutes into the film.
