Zorro, the Gay Blade (1981) is a comedy-adventure film starring George Hamilton in a dual role as both Don Diego Vega (Zorro) and his flamboyant twin brother, Ramón (aka Bunny Wigglesworth).
When their father dies, Diego reluctantly takes up the mantle of Zorro to fight the corrupt tyrant, Captain Esteban, in Spanish California. However, after an injury, Diego enlists his more colorful and daring brother, Bunny, to continue the fight—donning a series of dazzling outfits instead of Zorro’s traditional black attire.
Blending swashbuckling action with campy humor, the film playfully satirizes the classic Zorro legend with witty dialogue, over-the-top performances, and a lighthearted tone. Watch full movie uninterrupted
