After having a surprise hit playing Dracula in Love at First Bite, George Hamilton seized the moment and spoofed another movie hero: Zorro. In fact, he plays two characters: the heroic Don Diego, who fights Spanish tyranny in Old California in his secret identity as Zorro, and Diego's long-absent brother, Bunny Wigglesworth, a man totally comfortable with his sexual identity and unafraid of accessorizing the Zorro outfit by rendering it in purple. When the swashbuckler is injured, he turns his sword over to the swishbuckler, who is just as good a swordsman, though a few shades less fiery. Some of the gay humor is heavy-handed, but Hamilton easily handles the comedy demands of the dual roles, and has strong support from Ron Leibman as the chief bad guy. --Marshall Fine

i am just to have this back on dvd. though at first i thought it was a bootleg copy. because the cover looked funny and the movie quality is a little suspect. but i am glad to have the film again.

This is a wild romp through the mythic story of the Robin Hood of early California. It's totally campy, completely over the top, and never once takes itself seriously - which is why it's so fun.

George Hanilton had already spoofed Dracula and the vampire genre in the film Love at First Bite, this time he took his satirical aim at Zorro. He pokes a big finger of 1940's Tyrone Power The Mark of Zorro
Hamilton could have played this Zorro straight and would have made this work. However, in a comedy twist, when his Dom Diego character hurts his foot in an Zorro related accident, he enlisted his long lost brother Ramone (now called Bunny Wigglesworth)(Also played by Hamilton) ... Read More

This movie was made way before the whole "PC" epidemic, when you could laugh at anything because it was just funny. George Hamilton plays both Zorro and his gay brother. He bounces back forth between a womanizer and an effeminant with hilarious results. The supporting cast are amazing and this movie is still funny 20 something years later, as proved by the laughs of my teenage children. Pick it up and enjoy a comedy the whole family can watch.
