The Erotic Adventures of Zorro (1972)
When evil tyrant Luis Bonosario enslaves the people of 19th century Los Angeles, Don Diego de Vega, “the greatest swordsman in Spain,” returns from Madrid to make the world safe for truth, justice, and naked women! Posing as a limp-wristed pansy by day (who rides a white donkey while clutching a parasol), Don Diego secretly becomes Zorro at night, “brandishing his long, quick rapier!” When he’s not helping the oppressed, fighting duels, or slashing the letter “Z” onto derrieres, Zorro is busy bedding down a gaggle of gorgeous senoritas until he zeros in on Maria, Bonasario’s lovely niece. A wild, witty, genuinely funny, big-budget sex comedy from producer David F. Friedman (Trader Hornee), THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO is the Naked Gun of Zorro flicks!

Django (1966) Sergio Corbucci, Franco Nero, José Canalejas, José Bódalo, Western, Action

Django (1966)
Sergio Corbucci crafted one of the most popular and widely imitated of the Italian “spaghetti westerns” of the 1960s with this violent but stylish action saga. A mysterious man named Django (Franco Nero) arrives in a Mexican border town dragging a small coffin behind him. When he attempts to save a woman who is being attacked by a group of bandits, he finds himself in the middle of a conflict between Mexican gangsters and racist Yankee thugs, with the innocent townspeople and a fortune in Mexican gold stuck somewhere in between. Django becomes a force to be reckoned with when it’s discovered his coffin actually contains a Gatling gun. Django proved so popular in Europe that over 30 sequels and follow-ups were produced, though Franco Nero would not return to the role until 1987’s Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno (the only sequel endorsed by Corbucci), which proved to be the last film in the series.
