VHS Movie Reviews of Zorro the Gay Blade
Movie Review: Spoof Zorro
Summary: 4 Stars
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) in his Zorro cause..and the fun begins.
Bunny plays Zorro in many colorful zorro garbs, rather than the normal Zorro basic black. Instead of a sabre he uses a whip. He pokes a more whisher Zorro wit (Note the film's title)
Ron Leibman whine and screams in a germany goosestepping voice as Captain Esteban Pasquale. His nonsensible yelling makes his words almost unhearable to most other than to dogs.
It is a cute send up to the ZORRO mytho..I wish it was currently on DVD to enjoy by the masses

Summary of Zorro the Gay Blade
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 FineAction & Adventure VHS Video
