When Vega spras his ankle and nnot figure out how to ntue his mpaign agast the rpt Capta Esteban, luck stays wh Vega when his long-lost tw brother Ramon, who was sent off by their father to the Brish Royal Navy to make a "man" of him, whom is also flamboyantly gay, and now known as Lt. Bunny be 'the Gay Bla' which his new sus are lemon, plum, and srlet lored, and Bunny sists on g a whip.

But when Vega is pacated by an jury, he asks Ramon, his very gay, long-lost tw brother (now llg himself 'Bunny'), to replace him as the ped hero, who mak some drastic chang to his Zorro persona. I love Zorro, The Gay Bla was so funny and Gee Haton was very funny a dual role as the ma character and his brother also. Zorro, The Gay Bla.

ZORRO, THE GAY BLA

Flamboyantly gay, he's now known as Bunny Wigglworth.

Nomated for a Goln Globe as the mpy neck-ber displaced and havg to fend off the harsh reali of New York livg, he ntued on the parody road succsfully wh Zorro: The Gay Bla (1981) the very bt Mel Brooks renewed populary led to a one-year stt on Dynasty (1981) durg the 1985-1986 season and a strg of fun, self-mockg. On the marquee shows that two movi are playg on this particular night, Brian De Palma’s Blow Out – which has gone on to be nsired a classic, and Zorro, The Gay Bla, a Zorro movie starrg Gee Haton, which has gone on to be mostly fotten and is certaly not a “classic.

) A year later, both Blow Out and Zorro, The Gay Bla would bee stapl on premium televisn, shown an almost never-endg loop.

ZORRO, THE GAY BLA

And I remember watchg Zorro, The Gay Bla numero tim bee, well, was on. I had not seen Zorro, The Gay Bla a very long time until this piece.

But sce Thomas and Martha had their young son wh them, chanc are they went to the more fay-iendly Zorro, The Gay Bla. Not surprisgly, Zorro, The Gay Bla isn’t the easit thg to fd the days.

Or is more that no one at Fox/Disney is sayg, “Say, we should do a search for Zorro, The Gay Bla today jt to make sure ’s not on YouTube. Anyway, y, I watched Zorro, The Gay Bla.

IN ‘JOKER’ DO WE THK THE WAYNE FAY ENJOYED ‘ZORRO, THE GAY BLA’?

The villa this movie, Capta Esteban (Ron Leibman, also dog, let’s say, que an accent), starts to spect Don Diego Vega is Zorro, so Don Diego Vega recs his gay brother, Ramón Vega (who now go by Bunny Wigglworth; I realize ’s startg to sound like I’m makg stuff up but I am not), to also be Zorro an effort throw off Capta Esteban’s spicns. I’m jt gog to say this: After watchg Zorro, The Gay Bla I n certaly unrstand why ’s not a very easy movie to fd the days. Now, havg rewatched Zorro, The Gay Bla, ’s actually pretty prsg this is the last movie two fictnal people watched before beg murred.

(Though, ’s not lost on me that if I somehow die today, now Zorro, The Gay Bla will also be my last movie. But, y, I’m gog to assume Thomas Wayne loved Zorro, The Gay Bla and, years later, Bce Wayne fally watched Blow Out and cursed his father for their last movie together beg a movie where Gee Haton plays two Zorros.
