Zexy, Zany, Zensational !
In this spoof, Don Diego Vega (George Hamilton) follows in his father's footsteps as he dons the identity of Zorro in an attempt to defend the weak and innocent from the ravages of the evil. However, when Vega falls victim to a debilitating injury, it is up to his gay twin brother, Bunny Wigglesworth (George Hamilton), to take up the mask and sword. ~
Vincent Canby gave a mostly positive review in The New York Times, praising many of the performances in particular. "[George Hamilton] has energy and extreme good will. He also has surrounded himself with some very attractive and funny actors, particularly Mr. Leibman, Brenda Vaccaro, as the alcalde's sex-hungry wife, and beautiful Lauren Hutton".[4] The film was nominated for a Razzie Awards for Worst Musical Score
When the new Spanish Governor begins to treat the local peasants unfairly Don Diego Vega becomes Zorro, the masked man in black with a sword who will fight for the weak and stop their oppressors. Then Vega injures his ankle and cannot figure out how to continue his crusade, when his long lost twin brother returns from the British Navy, where he was sent in the hopes that they could make a man out of him. Flamboyantly gay, he's now known as Bunny Wigglesworth. He agrees to take his brother's place, but only if he can make a few minor changes. His new suits are lemmon, plum, and scarlet and Bunny insists on using a whip.
