Movie sequel The Legend of Zorro has been blasted by film historians in California for rewriting history.

Top film buff Rick Mitchell is ridiculing the Antonio Banderas movie for including references to historical events that had yet to happen in 1850, when the film was set.

The movie references the Confederate Army - a decade early - and also introduces President Abraham Lincoln when the historical leader was an obscure Illinois attorney at the time.

Mitchell says: "The movie would be rated 'R' for wrong-headed."
