I generally really enjoy David Friedman's sexploitation films. For me, none of the other major exploitation producers of the day were as consistently campy and enjoyable. This, his softcore spoof of Zorro, is a surprisingly funny parody of the legend. Many of the lines are absolutely horrible jokes which would make Mel Brooks groan, but they're often laugh out loud hilarious in spite of themselves. The crass and immature humor appealed to the young boy within me - consider this an adults-only film for those who aren't too mature. Its far from my favorite Friedman film (that'd be either "Space-Thing" or "The Acid Eaters"), but its generally a very entertaining film.
Oddly enough, while this succeeds as a comedy, its pretty dire as a porno. The women are attractive, but the sequences themselves often go on for too long and are simply not erotic, even by the standards of the day. I didn't expect this to be great erotica going in, but man the sex scenes are boring. They really drag the final product down. I also suspect the producers didn't have their hearts in the sequences, as they're pretty sparse for the first half and really overloaded in the second one. Still, many of the females look terrific naked. "The Erotic Adventures of Zorro" is recommended if you're into this kind of thing. (6/10)
