Zorro, The Gay Blade Trailers

George Hamilton stars in a dueling dual role as twin sons of the legendary Zorro. Soon after the dashing Don Diego Vega inherits his father's famous sword and costume, a broken ankle prevents the masked avenger from fulfilling his heroic duties. When his flamboyantly fashion-conscious brother assumes the secret identity to continue an ongoing fight for justice, the results are nothing short of hilarious!

You can guess by the title this is not a typical Zorro tale. If you have a problem with the title, you will likely have a problem with the show. It has some action AND a lot of the pipples find it hilarious. This is a must see for Hamilton fans. It's a great flick and I can watch it every 5 years or so.

All the reviews I read said this was "hilarious" and just as entertaining as George Hamilton's earlier hit, "Love At First Bite" in which he played Dracula. I found it not even remotely close: "Love At First Bite" was far, far better than "Zorro" here. In fact, thanks to Ron Leibman's constant shouting, this film was more annoying than it was funny.Hamilton does provide laughs, no doubt about it, many of them simply with his accent ("pipples" instead of "peoples") but overall, this isn't what it's cracked up to be, especially when compared to "Love At First Bite."

i saw this when i was 11 yrs old and it was one of the first videos i had ever watched.it has remained one of the funniest comedies i have ever seen, every scene is funny on so many levels. George Hamilton is most definitely a genius in it, Brenda Vaccaro and Rob Leibman are the funniest comedy actors i have ever seen. if you get the opportunity, please watch it, for all the family and worth a Saturday or Sunday afternoon watch. Guaranteed to cheer you up if your feeling low. The fact that it is so over the top makes it all the more enjoyable. I cannot wait for the day that i can show this to my kids and have them laugh as hard as i did when i was there age.

This movie is a completely funny spoof of the Zorro legend - complete with sword fights, injustice, and cross dressing. There are many small innuendos, lines, and moments that the first time viewer may miss, so be sure to watch it again - also look for the reactions of the lesser characters. George Hamilton shows his silly side and his ability for self-mockery - which is totally worth watching! The supporting cast are all great veteran character actors - people you couldn't name, but whose face you recognize. Paco, who plays George's mute servant, is priceless. It's definitely included in my "80's Comedies Worth Owning" list.
