It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The movie was supposed to take place in Mexico. Of course, the movie also had a Spanish governor. The problem is, Mexico became independent of Spain in an 11 year process that began on September 16, 1810, and was finalized in 1821. So, if a Spaniard was governor, he would have had to have become a Mexican citizen, which is a possibility, of course. Needless to say, perhaps that was part of the absurdity of the comedy. Nobody really cared (except me, but I teach history) - it was indeed a very funny movie and worth watching.

If you could just delete all of the Ron Liebman/Brenda Vaccaro scenes, this would be an amazing hoot of a film. Hamilton is hilarious in two roles, and Lauren Hutton is a gap-toothed cutie.

One commenter said if you like Austin Powers you will like this movie. I liked Autin Powers and was disappointed with this movie. The film works hard, maybe too hard for laughs. Maybe it was that all the villains in this movie were shouting as if the shouting in itself is suppose to be funny. I get where they were trying to go with this flick. A cross between Zorro and the Scarlet Pimpernel but it just doesn't work. Austin Powers if silly but intelligent, Zorro the Gay Blade lacks the savvy of Austin Powers, The Big Lebowski or Kingpin.I kept waiting for a laugh and while waiting found myself amazed that someone actually got paid for the script. My 15 year daughter also thought the movie was flat. My 17 year old who selected this flick on it's title, walked out after 20 minutes.It seems many people on IMDb liked this film, but for me it lacked the good timing or jokes of a good comedy.

George Hamilton's finest role was the hilarious send up of the Dracula Film genre in "Love at First Bite" Now he sets his sights on Swashbucklers like Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power, and the immoral Douglas Fairbanks Junior in this howler, "Zorro the gay blade." Ironically, this is one of the first mainstream comedies to use a gay character in a lead role, long predating such films as "La Cage Au Foules". And while Hamilton does well as the two main characters, there is a sense that this film tries too hard. Some of the comedy is as shrill as Leibman's Alcalde character. All of this aside it is still a fun film, and the underlying tribute to the character created by McCauly Johnson over a century ago still rings true. So let the "Fox" hunt commence.
