Zorro: The Gay Blade

3.5

Synopsis:

Zorro, the legendary swordsman, has passed on his weapon and his sense of duty to his noble son, Diego, a dashing swashbuckler like his father. But after an injury sidelines Diego, he is forced to hand the mask over to his twin, Ramon.

Quick Thoughts:

Sword-fighting, cross-dressing, mistaken identities, and a twist on the legend of Zorro? Oh yeah! These and so much more are what makes “Zorro: The Gay Blade” such a great queer western film. Even despite a few issues, I really do enjoy this campy spoofs! And with a great blend of quirky zany quips, an incredible score, and plenty of homage to classic Western films of ‘old, there is no doubt that this twist on the legend of Zorro is very queer and gay. But don’t take my word for it! Go find yourself a copy of this slightly dated, yet hysterical queer western film today. You can thank me later!
