When the new Spanish Governor begins to grind the peasants under his heel, Don Diego Vega becomes Zorro, the masked man in black with a sword who rights wrongs.

Rating of 1 stars out of 5
Radio Times

George Hamilton hams it up shamelessly playing the legendary Zorro's twin sons — one a dashing, macho sword-fighter, the other a limp-wristed queen — in a witless swashbuckling parody. When villainous Ron Liebman threatens the peace of a Mexican village, both brothers swish into action and the cheap laughs come thin and slow. Even the set piece of everyone turning up at a masked ball disguised as Zorro is off-handedly thrown away by director Peter Medak who clearly doesn't have a clue when it comes to comedy.

So gay! So cheesy! so great!

Kitty from Leicester, 5th May, 2006

I have looked everywhere for this title. The story is thus: Zorro has been and gone, the elder son inherits the title and must take up responsibility. When his wooing and swashbuckling lead to an accident he calls forth the younger brother, who is incredibly gay. Comedy ensues as gay zorro must keep his brothers love intrest intrested, and finds traditional black so boring... Yes it is cheesy but I loved this film and lets face it, the usual round of sword swinging and manly bravado does get a bit boring. This deffinately gives it a new twist!
