    Curiosity definitely killed the cat or rather it should have killed me. Funny, stupid and all of the above...

    One bit, two bits, three bits a peso!
    All for Zoro, stand up and say so!

    I love this old cinemax classic!

    Entertaining, but not quite as good as some of the other spoofs from the time. George Hamilton is good. Enjoyable.

    I love the humor in this movie. It's just awesome! The hero saves the day and wins the girl. Sometimes you just need a movie like that.

    If you haven't seen this one, then you don't know what you are missing. This is a classic that never dies!

    Great, hilarious fun. George Hamilton was Zorro to me... Maybe that's not a good thing, but he was wonderful.

    I remember watching this as a child and found it funny. Now, as an adult, I got more of the jokes and found it to be hilarious!!!
  • April 12, 2008
    I grew up with Zoro and this movie brings back so many memories. A lot of people don't like it but with me and my family, being that we know all the punch lines, it's a great watch every time.
    A spoof that turned into a classic with my family. I simply love George Hamilton in t... read morehis movie!!!

Tasteless, forced comedy just about killed the Zorro franchise for many years.
