Sort-of.
They do have similar set-ups, but
Three Amigos
and
Galaxy Quest
are very different beasts.
And I do honestly believe that
Galaxy Quest
is a much stronger film that holds up a lot more, especially on repeated viewings over time. It's one of those movies It's been out 17 years, and I've watched it at least a few times every single year since it's come out. It never stops entertaining and never stops charming you, and you never stop loving it, no matter how many times you see it.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

I've been shot already!
I've seen things that would make you want to write a book on how to puke.

Add
Tropic Thunder
to the list of films with a similar theme where actors are put into a situation to play out their characters because someone thinks their characters are real.

I think there was even a nod to three amigos with this line:
"As long as there is injustice, whenever a Targathian baby cries out, wherever a distress signal sounds among the stars, we'll be there."
I guess they're both sort of references to Tom Joad's famous speech in The Grapes of Wrath though.
