Brenda Vaccaro, Donovan Scott, George Hamilton

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 Dieg...( read more  read more... )o, 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

    This version of Zorro is probably my favourite. Great cheesy lines and wierd costumes make this bizarre comedy really worth watching! I can't take Zorro seriously anymore!!

    Entertaining, but not quite as good as some of the other spoofs from the time. George Hamilton is good. Enjoyable.
