Mexico, 1840s. When the new Spanish Governor begins to grind the peasants under his heel, wealthy landowner Don Diego Vega follows in his late father's footsteps and becomes Zorro, the masked man in black with a sword who rights wrongs and becomes a folk hero to the people of Mexico. When Vega sprains his ankle and cannot continue his campaign against the corrupt Captain Esteban, his long-lost twin brother Ramon arrives to visit. Bunny was sent off by their father to the British Royal Navy to make a "man" of him, for he is flamboyantly gay, and now known as Lt. Bunny Wigglesworth. 'Bunny' agrees to temporarily take his brother's place as Zorro, but opts make changes in the established Zorro persona. Bunny becomes "the Gay Blade," and his new costumes are lemon, plum, and scarlet colored. He insists on using a whip. Bunny also becomes the liaison between Don Vega and the liberal American activist/feminist Charlotte, a long-time critic of Captain Esteban's policies, and who has a crush on her masked hero.
Leave your thoughts about Zorro, The Gay Blade.
| The A.V. ClubYardena ArarDespite an inspired, offbeat performance by George Hamilton, Zorro, the Gay Blade doesn't have nearly enough gags to sustain its 93 minutes. For the most part this is a Zorro with a very dull edge. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumTasteless, forced comedy just about killed the Zorro franchise for many years. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThis movie is, of course, intended as a comedy, and it has some funny moments. But it's just not successful, and I think the reason is that Hamilton never for a second plays Zorro as if he were really playing Zorro... When a movie sets out a create a funny Zorro, that's bringing coals to Newcastle. By playing every scene for laughs, Hamilton has nothing to play against. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThis one-joke film beats its punch line to death, playing its gay character for big laughs with generally predictable and boring results. Hamilton (who coproduced) chews up the scenery with relish, and the bland supporting performances yield to his campy caricature, But the subtle element of self-parody that distinguished the best of the Zorro films is absent, and the gay stereotype is more offensive than comical. |
| User ReviewStella FThis movie was way ahead of its time. It was one of my favorite films of 1981, and a hilarious spoof of the Zorro franchise. I almost wish it had a sequel. |
| User ReviewScottland RI cannot understand why this has a 43% tomatometer rating. I think this movie is hilarious. It's a spoof but at the same time has real characters that keep you into the plot. And George Hamilton gives a super funny performance. |
| User ReviewRuben CAbsolutely hilarious! I've been a Zorro fan from Tyron Power to Antonio Banderas and this spoof is a classic with knee jerk humor. Anyone who thinks otherwise has their pants on too tight! |
| User ReviewJennifer TThere are too many funny things about this movie to even begin to start. |
| User ReviewMichael HThis is a great comedy. It had many likable characters and jokes. |
| User ReviewScott BWatched this movie once ... it's so hilarious because it's just so stupid!!! |
