Why does nobody else seem to see...

This movie is a homage/ripoff of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?

I really enjoy this movie, but come on, it's either an homage that they never bothered to mention or just a flat-out ripoff.

Does nobody mention it because it's just too obvious? I mean, Cole Parker is Blondie (The Good), Armor O'Malley is Angel (The Bad) and Dani Servigo is Tuco (The Ugly). In GB&U they're looking for gold in a cemetery. One knows where the cemetery is and the other knows which grave. In Gunmen it's drug money on a boat. One knows which harbor it's in, the other knows the name of the boat

The IMDB listing even mentions the similar scene where Angel/Armor sits down to a meal in the beginning of the film, but they don't mention that the rest of the movie keeps following along.

I really enjoy both movies, but come on, credit where credit is due.
