Product Description

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 saw this movie when it first came out, back in the 1980's and I loved it. I'm happy to be able to have it in my collection. It is a delightful light hearted and funny movie.

Format:DVD
The first time I saw this film I laughed out loud and subsequent viewings still make me chuckle. The characters are so over the top, but somehow it just adds to the appeal. Brenda Vaccaro is particularly memorable and her 'balcony' scene is a scene-stealer right down to the moment when her shoe gets caught on the railing. One of my favourites and still good campy fun.
Format:VHS Tape
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!

If it weren't for cable...
...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. Read more

"Say something like a sissy-boy..."
I first saw this movie when I was 10 years old and it still makes me laugh to this day.
What makes this comedy unique for me though, is how so many different story elements are... Read more

Fabulously funny
This version of the legend of Zorro is a lot lighter than usual but very entertaining. Our real hero, Zorro, is put out of commission by an accident that occurs during a romantic... Read more

A Comedy Gem
This is one of my all time favorite spoofs. Hamilton is superb as Don Diego/Zorro. But Leibman cracks me up with his "AHA! Two fruits, one vegetable, one flower" speech. Read more

We named our cat Esteban because he has the same arrogant attitude that the character Ron Leibman plays. Read more

New "perspective" on Zorro !
This is not a movie that is well known by the general public. But I consider it one of the "classical" comedy movies as a spoof on the legend of Zorro. Read more
