Swords, seduction, and slapstick in a bawdy Zorro parody set in 19th-century California.
THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO
The First Movie Rated Z
Don Diego poses as an effeminate dandy by day, and transforms into the swashbuckling Zorro by night to fight an evil Alcalde — while enthusiastically bedding down the women of 19th-century California.
Quick Answer
The Erotic Adventures of Zorro is a 1972 France, Germany, and United States action-adventure comedy western directed by Robert Freeman and William Allen Castleman about Don Diego de Vega, who poses as a dandy by day and becomes Zorro by night to battle a tyrant and seduce senoritas in 19th-century California.
Programmer's Pick
If you ever wondered what Zorro would look like with his mask off—and a lot more besides—this parody delivers in spades. It’s part costume drama, part slapstick romp, and all about pushing the boundaries of 1970s sexploitation with a knowing wink.
