The names Ramon and Gonzales for these characters harken back to the first Zorro film, ''Film/{{The Mark of Zorro|1920}}'' (1920) with Creator/DouglasFairbanks.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Captain Ramon is only too happy to arrest General Dalamentes after Zorro exposed him as a theif in "The Tyrant". Though to be fair, that probably had more to do with the General's harsh discipline regimen he imposed on both Captain Ramon and Sergeant Gonzales. Later in the episode, Sgt. Gonzales expressed disgust that the General robbed everybody in the name of the King.
* GoKartingWithBowser: played with. Sgt. Gonzales is a family friend to the de la Vegas, including Don Diego, and Don Diego is dating Maria, the Governor-General's daughter.
