Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Either you love it or you hate it...
Review: It seriously is a classic movie that only a few know about and love. I have never met anyone else who has seen it but I recommend it to anyone who reads this. George Hamilton plays a perfect Zorro, in his own way(s).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARITY AT ITS GREATEST!!!!!
Review: This movie is charming and witty. Anytime you're down in the dumps, pop in this movie and laugh out loud. This movie is what got me interested in Zorro. A true comedic masterpiece!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hamilton at his wittiest!
Review: This spoof needs to be seen in conjunction with the new "ZORRO."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fantastically funny film.
Review: This is another hilarious spoof by the supremely talented George Hamilton (the first being "Love at First Bite"). This film defies political correctness and adds several twists to the legend of Zorro which many of us (older) people would have enjoyed as children. If you really haven't seen this film, buy it. You'll watch it many times, as I have over the years, and never tire of both the dialogue and the situation comedy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A bitingly funny movie
Review: The twin sons of the original Zorro return home to find that their father has passed away, and new evil has arisen in old California. When the first son, a dashing latin lover-type, injures himself fighting for justice, the other -- raised in a British boarding school and now calling himself "Bunny Wigglesworth" -- steps in, and gives the legend a makeover. George Hamilton is at his best in this, a campy but hysterically funny take on the legend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly recommended
Review: I love this flick. Saw it in the theatre when it was released. Saw it again a few times on television. Recently purchased the DVD.

I concur with the other reviewers here. Was a bit sad when it ended because I wanted to see more adventures of Bunny Wigglesworth!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Outrageous Spoof on the Masked Legend
Review: This 1981 side-splitting comedy directed by Peter Medak is a fun spoof on the legendary Zorro. A light-comedy whose plot and humor can only make you laugh.

Don Diego De La Vega (George Hamilton) arrives to Spain's colony of California to find it despoiled by the excesses of his former friend, Capitan Esteban (Ron Leibman). He soon uncovers the secret of Zorro from his dead father and now becomes the masked protector. Accidentally injured during one of his outings, Don Diego almost calls it quits until his estranged brother, Bunny Wigglesworth (also played by George Hamilton), comes to town to save the day. Although an unabashed dandy in England's Royal Navy, Bunny takes the challenge and adds a little zest to the legend of Zorro. With Bunny's fashionable tastes, Zorro's sombre costumes soon become colorful fashion statements of green, purple, and yellow. Bunny also discards the sword and leaves his traditional 'Z' mark with his whip instead.

A great tongue-in-cheek comedy that makes the maximum spoof of the dandy stereotype. The film never takes itself too seriously and offers laughs for the whole family.

Summary: Zizzling zorro
Review: ...I would have missed out on so many great movies!! I first saw this on HBO when I was 12, and I thought George Hamilton was a "hottie". Funny men have always done it for me. Ask my husband.

Anyway, I saw this movie last weekend...I'm now in my 30's...and it hasn't suffered any with age! George is still spectacular in two quite different roles; from virile, Spanish playboy to British, preening queen, he does not disappoint. The soundtrack is wonderful...borrowed, I believe, from "The Adventures of Don Juan". The genre is definitely screwball/spoof. You will laugh at the funny dialogue and probably enjoy the action of the fencing sequences as well.

I recommend also viewing the original "Mask of Zorro" with Tyrone Power. It's illuminating to see where the "Gay Blade" crew got their inspiration...also interesting to watch Mr. Power playing a "fop". Enjoy! I did.
