This point is where we learn that Ned is actually the fastest gunslinger in the west. The German learned to be fast by copying Ned, he even carries his gun which leads to some cowboy making fun of it and our first gunfight. The German is fast as hell, but he eventually believes that Ned is so fast that it is impossible and is just movie tricks. During this scene they casually thank Ned for catching "Dinner". Dinner is BATS! Have you ever seen a bat fly? They have random and erratic flight patterns. They are almost impossible to shoot with a pistol, but not for Ned. Ned literally shot bats out of the sky with his PISTOL! Oh, and bats come out when it gets dark so also we should note that there was low visibility at the time. I watched this movie a hundred times as a kid but only just realized the last time I watched that they were lowkey hinting at Ned's skills. Then at the end, Ned is giving a gun way bigger and heavier than the one he usually has. He still outdraws and kills the GERMAN with it!!! Guys, Ned Nederlander is a pure gunslinger on par with Roland Deschain of Gilead.

the great thing is that still flies with this. whether it's a hallucination or not is still up in the air, and it would make sense for ned to be a fast performative shooter if he was commonly doing gunplay films, and to adapt quickly when in the thick of it like this. if we assume ned was a fast and flashy show shooter, he likely would have been shooting at spinning/moving targets, freefloating balloons, clay discs in flight, maybe shooting a playing card or a silver dollar out of the air, all skills that would have made him comfortable judging a target's speed/trajectory and shooting at fluttering and erratic targets. perfect skills for bird/bat shooting. likewise being a sport/stunt shooter, not a defense nut or a hunter, he would have moral/ethical issues with the actual purpose of his firearm when it comes down to it, which manifests in his hallucination. he's a cowboy shooter who likely got into it because of a western/"cowboys and indians" type of influence through wild west shows or western sensational media as a kid and as such combined with his altruistic bent has the fantasy of the white hat wearing hero gunning down the dirty bandits and saving the day, but is hesitant of the deadly reality of that fantasy, and if unaware he's hallucinating and thereby mistaking his hallucination for reality, would act accordingly.

Even medium rare bat won’t give you rabies. Just a dumb theory with little research behind it. Just speculation.

Not a fan of "it was just a dream" theories, but in this case it sounds funny. It could have been a mix of hallucinations and reality as The Amigos didn't know about the german and his associates or that they were quickdraw experts. If they were part of Ned's dream imagination it could mean that Ned is some kind of psychic. My theory is that the Amigos live in the parody universe, the same where the Airplane, Hot Shots, Top Secret and Naked Gun are set.

A small detail in favor of your theory: Lucky Day (Steve Martin) is shot in the arm during their first encounter with El Guapo, which would be a serious wound in the desert without medical attention. However, throughout the 3rd act, he never winces or appears injured, including when he's swinging from a rope, escaping the priests' torture chamber, or hanging from the wing of the aircraft. That makes sense if Ned's hallucinating the whole thing--Lucky's physical pain wouldn't compute. In any case, it's a truly great comedy with legendary bits. Fun theory!

One of my favorite movies, and this theory is hilarious

The Bush, in Mexico, was singing "Ol Susanna".

I just re watched this movie as a 51 yr old and noticed for the very first time the shift in the second half of the film. I was a teenager when this came out and a huge fan of Steve and Chevy, I also love "ridiculous" humor so maybe that's why I never noticed it before. This last time though, it really stuck out to me, I couldn't get it out of my head. Then out of nowhere this video shows up so I click it, thinking that it's going to be a "where are they now?" type video, but that's not the case at all. Everything you pointed out goes along with everything I know to be true, especially the dreaming scenario and the desert scene, you asked who's perspective we could be seeing the story through. That part really struck a note with me, I totally agree that it might be Neds. In my dreams, if I have to pee, there is no toilet in sight. Then when I finally find one, it doesn't matter how much I go, I still have to go insanely bad. If I'm trying to get somewhere fast, somewhere miles away, the only thing I'll have to get there with is something ridiculous like a bike with only one pedal, and the brakes will be locked up. Then when it seems that I have made a little progress with that, I look back down and now it'll be a skateboard with only one wheel on the front and one wheel on the back. So this theory really makes total sense to me, I couldn't agree more with everything you hit on. This movie has been, and probably always will be my favorite comedy, I love everything about it, but with this theory bouncing around in my head, I think I might just like the movie a little more now.

Never heard eating bats would do that, but back in the mid-1970s I had this particular acid trip. I had a old hound dog Buck, vividly recall he walked on his hind-legs wearing my boots and he stepped into my room. He was raising hell about the canned dog food threatening me with ass kicking because I had bought it instead of his usual dry-food. Needless to say your mind can do some really bizarre things on the right fuel, never bought canned dog food again.

"...aloof shrubbery." Very clever.

Excellent analysis and overall superb delivery!! 👌 The theory of Ned's fever dream makes sense after watching this. I recall the turtle 🐢 being the last to say, "Goodnight, Ned" before the 3 amigos fell asleep

oh my god. this could be practically canon. if you see at the end, the kid who asked for Dusty’s watch when he was dead does get his watch. Also the way they wouldve been dying during the Blue Shadows song and the story favoring Ned when he seems to out-sing the other two and they look jealous, if you see it that way.

From what I've read, the shortest documented incubation period is 4 days, and is usually between 20 and 90 days. Not to mention getting rabies by eating an infected animal (instead of being bitten) is extremely rare. More likely the writers decided to go in a different direction at that point and didn't have time to rewrite what they already had.

Have you seen the movie? Its not a hallucination, its Martin shorts characters (Ned) dream as he sleeps the night away.

Well, this explains a lot. And unlike many fan theories, this one does not remove any of the humor/drama/pathos of the actual movie, just a different (and valid) angle. Thank you!

But wasn't some of the supernatural stuff (such as the singing bush and the invisible guy) mentioned by the villagers BEFORE they ate the bats? Did the villagers somehow have rabies too. Also, given how overcooked those bats appear to be, the rabies would probably be destroyed.

I never noticed this until now, but some dude legitimately gets drilled by a horse. Not in the good natured, sexual way, like when we were on spring break back at the farm, but in a violent, "I hope he's ok!" kind of way. Check it out at around 4:12. It's quick, but you can see it probably hurt.

Not the worst thing to happen in a John landis movie and definitely not the worst stunt gone wrong with maximum ouch. Just saying

The backdrop during the bat eating, campfire scene is very obviously a painted backdrop. It looks like the kind of cheap prop they would have used on a studio set during the silent movie era. Considering the three Amigo's professional background and the fact they'd likely have never spent time in a Mexican desert, their point of reference for what a Mexican desert might look like may very well not extend beyond painted backdrops, like the one featured in this scene. This lends more weight to the dead or dreaming theory.

I think it was just a comedy, and you're diving to far into it. Besides, those bats were cooked on fire, and probably burnt to a crisp based on how the sounded when being eaten, and I doubt the virus would have survived that. I'm not a virologist, but that seems pretty logical.

but, could you have also applied the same ned theory to the first half of the movie if you said they were dead from the very start? it's hard to say ned has these hallucinations based on armchair psychology when his real world is so utterly bizarre to the point of telegraphs appearing almost magically on demand. we can't look at landis' previous output as being relevant, he was just the director and on trial over 'the twilight zone' movie at the time, so i'm not sure how much usable input he would have had. he should have gone to jail. anyhooways, we have to bear in mind one of the writers was lorne michaels, who also wrote for SNL, among other things, and certainly was no stranger to some absurdist humour now and then. another writer was steve martin, who's written for plenty of movies. given what he's written, i would venture to say this paranormal and absurdist turn of events, which is admittedly obvious (still funny, though), was probably his doing more than michaels or newman, but who knows. did they research bats? in the era before the internet i think that's kinda doubtful, seems more of an ick-factor thing and they can't be eating anything 'cute.' ya never know.... dunno, i think they went down that path, which was already silly as hell, just to ramp it up a notch and i question whether it was even a conscious decision. maybe the original intent was to have it all be filled with supernatural elements, but they decided to tone the first half down so they had some place to go with it? well, enough of all that, i'm going to watch this documentary coming on, 'the ghost and mr. chicken.'
