There is no shame in being poor,only in dressing poorly,so say the gay blade.If you liked Airplane and or Blazzing saddles,than this lesser known film will amuse you.As a BIG Zorro fan I had to see this dispite the fact I am NOT a George Hamilton fan who does a great over acting job as Don Diego Vega / Zorro / Bunny Wigglesworth / The Gay Blade / Ramon Vega,two brothers who are the new Zero.It's 50 years after Zorro and he's died and his two sons will carry on against a new evil in the form of another actor I never liked Ron Leibman who also over acts as Captain Esteban.That said over acting is a BIG + in this humorous sendup of the classic western spanish version of robin hood.Lauren Hutton as Charlotte Taylor Wilson tries to be more than eye candy as the love interest and Brenda Vaccaro as Esteban's wife Florinda,brings the jewish wife to the story.It may not be PC but hey its a comedy already !!!Released in 1981 and running 93 minutes,the only reason I took 1 star off was the gay theme that is less PC today than it was at the time the film was made.Still I thought Hamilton nailed it.Trailer follows the pix.
