    Highlights
    Movie"Zexy, Zany, Zensational!"
    In 19th century Mexico, legendary swordsman Zorro has passed on his weapon and his sense of duty to his noble son, Diego, a dashing swashbuckler like his father.

    The writing is witty and the one liners are things you will remember and repeat for years. Personally, it reminds me of Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day and the Austin Powers movies. It is certainly George Hamilton's most memorable movie, an over-the-top spoof that never takes itself too seriously.

    Of course they do all of it firmly tongue-in-cheek.

    It does seem that a few people just don't get it. But if you liked Hamilton's Love at First Bite or most of the work of Mel Brooks, then this movie is for you.
