Zorro, the Gay Blade

  • Title: Zorro, the Gay Blade
  • IMDb: link

Today’s Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the thrilling days of yesteryear, or 1981 to be exact. A tongue-and-cheek sequel to the popular Zorro franchise in general, and 1940’s The Mark of Zorro in particular, George Hamilton stars in dual roles as both sons of the legendary Zorro (although neither is aware of their father’s vigilante lifestyle prior to his death). Before the end of the movie both Don Diego de la Vega and Bunny Wigglesworth will follow in their father’s footsteps and stand-up for the peoples of 19th Century Los Angeles.

Returning home from his womanizing ways, Don Diego discovers his father has died and an old friend (Ron Leibman) has taken over as Alcalde and is crushing the local population under heavy taxes. After learning of his family tradition, Don Diego will take up the mantle of Zorro.

While she initially sets boundaries, it doesn’t take long for Bella Cherry to begin making compromises while desperately chasing fame hoping to earn a treasured spot on the most exclusive agency in town.
