What is the music in zorro the gay blade

It is becoming something of a ‘thing’ for film-makers to point out their inspirations by having a movie theatre screening a favourite movie prominently placed within their work. That’s fine if, as in It: Chapter 1, the point is to pin down in time the specific 1989 summer that Derry’s local cinema is showing Batman and Lethal Weapon 2.  The device feels a bit more laboured when Zack Snyder pans over a 1981 cinema showing Excalibur in Batman Vs Superman, or in the shot below where Todd Phillips recreates the marquee signage from Brian De Palma’s Explode Out in Joker.

Equally prominent in the same shot is Peter Medak’s Zorro The Gay Blade, a rather more neglected chat that De Palma’s super-effective thriller. Why include George Hamilton’s ‘zany, zexy, spectacular’ parody of the much loved swordsman?  Could Arthur Fleck have been diverted from his murderous purpose if he’d just enable a little spray-tanned self-deprecation good humour into his life? The bottom line is that while real-world movies seem to subsist in both DC and Marvel universes, it’s thoughtful of hard to notice how Zorro The Queer Blade exists in the self-consciously miserablist world of Joker.

    Ode to a bandit

    This was one of the first movies we rented right after we got our VHS player back in 1983, and to this afternoon it is still a family favorite. I will never tire of watching this movie. George Hamilton does an outstanding career as the smooth-talking Don Diego Vega and as the flighty Bunny Wigglesworth, and the rest of the cast is just priceless. This movie is fun from beginning to end. For anyone who wants a great chuckle, this is definitely

    Here's an interesting thought. I was musing over one of my favorite songs of all time, (part of a soundtrack) called ...

    "Come Saturday Morning" by the Sandpipers. (late 1969 or early 1970, I believe)

    To this day, that song brings up the goosebumps and brings me to tears, as it reminds me of those long ago days of innocence
    as I played with my friends in the fields outside of my house in the nation. I literally melt into the chair, almost feeling like I'm right support in that field, skinning my knees and picking my first flower for my first girlfriend, (at five years old, in fact), and still to this day, remembering her eyes and how they shined.

    wow ....

    anyhow, you guys have any songs that bring that lump to the throat? Lets launch with cinematic, whether scores or individual
    sang songs?

    Zorro! Zorro!

    Description: Zorro: The Same-sex attracted Blade is a comedy film that was released in 1981. Directed by Peter Medak, it follows the adventures of a flashy twin brother of the legendary hero Zorro. Starring George Hamilton, this light-hearted parody brings a new twist to the iconic Zorro character, delighting audiences with its witty humor and colorful characters.

    In this comedic romp, George Hamilton takes on a dual role, portraying both the dashing original Zorro, Don Diego Vega, and his effervescent and openly lgbtq+ twin brother, Bunny Wigglesworth. When Don Diego is injured, Bunny steps into his brother's boots and mask to defend the people of Los Angeles against an sinister tyrant.

    Filled with hilarious misunderstandings and comedic moments, Zorro: The Gay Blade is a delightful blend of adventure and campiness. As Bunny embraces his identity, he adds a touch of flair and flamboyance to the traditional Zorro swashbuckling antics. From outrageously vibrant costumes to zany one-liners, the motion picture encapsulates a lighthearted take on the beloved Zorro mythology.

    The cast of Zorro: The Homosexual Blade delivers remarkable performances, showcasing their versatility and comedic ti


    There is a part of the score that I think is NOT Grusin, though I could be untrue. The part when Chunk and Sloth rescue the kids on the plunder ship, there is a great fanfare triumph playing, is that from another old film? I was thinking it might have been from the Sea Hawk possibly? It's the part in the Goonies when Sloth and Chunk slide down the one of the sails of the pirate ship and start fighting the Fratellies. I'm just wondering and any info is awesome. Thanks
     
     

    I comprehend that I contain heard Steiner's Adventures of Don Juan in the motion picture. Chunk is watching the film on TV in an earlier scene, and the music plays through while Chunk jumpropes on the pirate ship.

    Obviously, I possess noticed this as well.

    Hope this helps.
     

    Gordianus is correct... it's Steiner's ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN. And the BYU free from Screen Archives is amazing!
     

    Yes, it is...although the Charles Gerhardt recording is delicious as well...
