Il figlio di Zorro

Standard plot for any Zorro incarnation. This one's more of a swordsman in the metaphoric sense than the others, as he boinks his way (albeit very PG-ly) through the comely senoritas and (gasp!) senoras of the vicinity with as much ardor as his attacks on the tyrants and their hapless troops. Alberto Dell'Aqua is handsome enough for the role, and more agile in his swordplay than many of his fellow Foxes (fox is Zorro in English, to bring newbies up to speed).

No idea why it's called "Son of Zorro". Nothing in this tale indicates he's the second generation of masked protectors of the people. No idea why anyone should put this telling of the tale on their bucket list, either.
