Zorro the gay

Booth is the actor who played the sick call rat, Pvt. Henry Hook, in the great war film Zulu (1964).

After talking to the peasant, Zorro and Paco chase down Velasquez and relieve him of the money after a long sword fight. Wearing their costumes, Diego and Paco ride horses to the party. It is certainly George Hamilton's most memorable movie, an over-the-top spoof that never takes itself too seriously.

Even Donovon Scott comes across like this, and his character is mute!

Long-Lost Relative: Bunny Wigglesworth (formerly Diego's twin Ramón de la Vega) returns home after having been away for twenty years (sent off by their father to serve in the British navy); Diego doesn't recognize him at first because he's changed so much.

Remember, the Zorro from The Mark of Zorro (1940) used this bit on the Alcalde’s wife. Leibman died in 2019.

Lauren Hutton played the role of three-named social activist Charlotte Taylor Wilson. Befriend the friendless! Estaban is jealous of Diego as both he and his wife complain about the marriage.

Esteban delivers the news that he is acting Alcalde as Diego’s father was killed in a terrible horse/turtle accident.

The Dons quickly elect Esteban. The problems in California seem to be in another world as he romances Dolores (Carolyn Seymour).

Suddenly, Garcia (Clive Revill), Gloria’s husband, enters the room, only pretending to have traveled to Barcelona. Diego wants to know if Esteban eats something special on those nights.

Esteban arrives with his men to determine if Diego is the injured Zorro.

Leibman became a well-respected writer and actor. Of course, Flynn often played sword-wielding swashbucklers.

Bunny Zorro wore a plum, yellow, green, red, silky black, orange, and gold Zorro outfits. Bunny Zorro steals Esteban’s horse and gold.

Florinda wants to have a costume ball to celebrate her new necklace. Suddenly, Bunny Zorro reveals himself atop a high wall and calls for the people to help Zorro.

Zorro carves a Z into a tree but has to explain its meaning to Velasquez.

Zorro and Paco return the money to the peasant. He studied acting and was in an improv group that trained Ed Asner, Anne Meara, and Jerry Stiller.

He was in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, class of 1958.

Personally, it reminds me of Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day and the Austin Powers movies. Given that Zorro wears an oversized Domino Mask, this qualifies as a sight gag.

Neither Zorro nor Velasquez see the tree branch that knocks them off their horses as they are dueling.

Flynning: Not as much as you'd expect from a Zorro movie, but every now and then.

For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: Esteban throws a masquerade ball with the intent of drawing out Zorro.

When Don Diego Vega takes on the mantle of Zorro to protect the oppressed, an unexpected injury forces him to pass the sword to his flamboyant twin brother, Ramon—who rebrands himself as “Bunny Wigglesworth.” With outrageous costumes, clever wit, and daring swordplay, the film parodies Zorro’s adventure while celebrating individuality and humor.

Now, 50 years later, Don Diego Vega (George Hamilton) is living the life of a wealthy rake in the Spanish capital city of Madrid. Also, by having Bunny masquerade as Margarita. . 4 stars out of 5.

Ode to a bandit

This was one of the first movies we rented right after we got our VHS player back in 1983, and to this day it is still a family favorite.

Near the whip, inside is a note from the late Don Diego addressed to his two sons.
