From the moment she landed again on the shores of california the scene began to unfold before her eyes as to who she really is. My favorite scene is the one in the barn, Elena, asking why Bernardo's voice seems so familiar and Bernardo (Diego actually) after years of longing to see his beloved daughter and finally standing there in front of her cannot tell the truth because of some complications.

I was in the film business for many years. I worked "behind the scenes" but still had opportunities to meet stars on many different occasions. Shortly after this film came out, I had a chance encounter with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Without a doubt she was the most beautiful actress I ever had the pleasure of meeting in person.

@@bisseefamily9698 Lol! I hear ya. I was working 15-hour days on another movie at the time. As I emerged from the restroom one evening, the elevator doors opened up in front of me and Catherine stepped out. There was nobody else in the vicinity at the time so she flashed a smile and, in her beautiful Welsh accent, said, "I'm here for a meeting [with my director]. Can you please tell me where the office is?" In my overworked exhaustion, I'm sure I was speechless for longer than I should have been. No doubt my brain was grappling with the incongruity of her sudden presence and my disheveled state of mind. Eventually, I managed to come to my senses and lead her to the correct office. Turns out the director was on a phone call at the time and asked if I could show her around the place while he finished the call. I got to spend about 10 minutes chatting with her and giving her a quick tour. She was every bit as kind as she was beautiful. Definitely made my night.

"This horse is cheeky!" Tornado is a great cinematic horse, and brings a lot of cute humor. The entirety of Tornado's rescue is a hilarious action scene and some great physical comedy from Banderas.

For several years Anthony Hopkins was in terrible pain due to a back injury. He underwent what he called "experimental back surgery" using lasers. Afterwards he was completely pain free for the first time in years. He was then offered the part of Zorro in this movie and he jumped at the chance to play an action hero, since he was feeling so good physically.

"Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, Comes the horseman known as Zorro."

Diego and Alejandro’s Zorro Outfits are actually VERY different when you look closely. Diego’s reflects his Spanish Heritage (Metal Clasp, European style Hat, Gloves that Flare out, and Heeled Boots) while Alejandro’s reflects his Mexican Nationality (Open Shirt, Tribal Design on the Hat, Thinner Gloves and Cowboy Stirrups on the Boots).

An adventure movie that people often sleep on is "The Phantom" starring Billy Zane, Treat Williams (who sadly passed away yesterday), and Catherine Zeta Jones. I think you would very much enjoy it.

This is such a great and underrated movie. Banderas and Zeta Jones have amazing chemistry together. Hopkins is a fantastic mentor figure passing on the mantle. For those that don't know, Zorro is based on the real Mexican folk hero Joaquin Murrieta. A lot of the key points of his life are really shown in these movies. I hold him in almost as high regard as Emiliano Zapata. I wish their stories were more known today.

Director Martin Campbell made this in between the two Bond films he also directed: GoldenEye (1995) and Casino Royale (2006.)

The old man at the gold mine (who was shot twice) was L. Q. Jones. If you watch a western, either a movie or TV, made in the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's, you are likely to see L. Q. Jones. He passed away just last year at the age of 92.

As a Welshman it was so weird to see a movie about a famous Mexican character where 2 of the 3 lead actors were Welsh

This was my favourite film from '98. My 13 year-old self was lucky enough to see this in the cinema and be reminded how good old--fashioned, swashbuckling adventure films could be. It's exhilarating, funny and the score is bloody amazing.

The main writers of The Mask of Zorro (Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio) also wrote Pirates of the Caribbean. 🙂

The sword fight between Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones is a cinematic icon. “I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You” is one of my favorite love songs; the late 90’s had several. I must say that the look of joy on your face when the mine exploded…so satisfying!

The scene of Don Diego escaping from prison was actually lifted from "The Count of Monte Cristo" (a completely unrelated story by a different author), where Edmond Dantes escaped from the Chateau d'If by swapping places with a dead man.

The character of Zorro was actually the original inspiration for Batman, that's why there are so many similarities! I will also tell you that there is a Quentin Tarantino written Graphic novel that is a Django Unchained/Zorro crossover if you're ever looking to check it out! 😁

You would enjoy some of Erroll Flynn's pirate adventure classics, Jen. Disney's version of "The Three Musketeers" is surprisingly entertaining too.

Thanks for another one, Jen. In the DC comics I read in the '60s, young Bruce Wayne and his parents were mugged after watching "The Mark Of Zorro." That influenced his decision to become a masked defender of justice. Earlier stories may have referenced the previous silent movie.

Antonio Banderas is a cool actor. He starred opposite Sylvester Stallone in "Assassins" (1995) and in the underrated medieval Viking action movie "The 13th Warrior" (1999). The Puss in Boots character first appears in "Shrek 2" so if you are watching that franchise it's probably best if you see that one before the "Puss In Boots" movie.

Being older, my preference for Dumas-based Musketeers movies goes to those directed by Richard Lester in the 1970s, The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers, with an incredible cast: Michael York, Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee, Faye Dunaway, Raquel Welch, Geraldine Chaplin (Charlie Chaplin's daughter), Spike Milligan (from the Goon Show), Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay, Charlton Heston, etc. They also have witty scripts, fine locations, and great swordplay!

Thank you Jen for this one!! It's been long since I saw it and still love it very much. Great acting from everyone, even Tornado! It is a very good "origin" story for Antonio as Zorro. There is good character arch, and it does get little emotional but has good action and good humour!

Great reaction, Jen. Antonio Banderas has some great flicks. My favorite is probably "Desperado"

They actually have some historical foundation in this movie. Benderas’s character Alejandro is fictional but his brother Juaqin Marietta was a real outlaw that the Zorro character was originally based on. Unfortunately the barabaric scene with his head in a jar was a real thing. The worst part is that it was taken on tour around the country as a trophy to make an example of what happens to outlaws.

Alejandro’s brother Joaquin Murrieta was real, considered the mexican Robin Hood in real life, and thought to be a possible inspiration for Zorro. He befell the same fate he did in the movie, decapitated by Harry Love and his head put in a jar. Or at least someone alleged to be him was

"I've never danced with passion like this" 😳 Banderas does more dancing in Take The Lead. For a heist movie with Zeta-Jones - Entrapment

So glad you enjoyed this. It’s one of my favorite 90s movies! Antonio Banderas had a great run as an action movie star. Other than this one, his best are - DESPERADO and its sequel ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO; - ASSASSINS with Sylvester Stallone (where Antonio plays the villain); - THE 13TH WARRIOR, a medieval action thriller with Vikings; - SPY KIDS, where he plays a spy and a dad; - and of course THE LEGEND OF ZORRO, the sequel to this movie! And yes, he is the voice of Puss In Boots. His dramatic roles are all really good too. He had a very memorable part in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. Hope you enjoy these movies!

Don’t forget the 13th warrior, my favorite Banderas movie.

Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean) wrote the story and most of the drafts. They were actually inspired by the Mark of Zorro (they even reused the confessional scene). They didn't agree with killing the original Zorro at the end though. They thought it was an unnecessary bitter ending. It made more sense to them to let Don Diego tell stories to his grand-son to wrap everything up.

Just rewatched this with my wife a few months back and it's just as fun as it was seeing it in theaters. I too had seen a black and white Zorro movie as a kid in elementary school, so when this came out I was super excited. Though on that rewatch I did chuckle at the obvious backdrop/set Antonio Banderas walks toward at the end

One of the most classic swashbuckler story is The Scarlet Pimpernel. There’s only been a few adaptations of the book. My favorite one was the 1982 tv movie, starring Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour, and Ian McKellen.

Zorro and Batman share so many characteristics, because one is heavily based on another. In fact, in the comics, the Wayne’s attended a showing of a Zorro movie before Thomas and Martha were shot dead in front of Bruce.

I went to see this movie premier at the movie theater with my father since he was such a fan of Zorro. He loved this movie.

You should probably re-watch _The Mark of Zorro._ It is set earlier, when California was still owned by Spain. Don Diego de la Vega (Zorro) was played by Tyrone Power and the captain of the Alcade's guard, Zorro's nemesis, was played by the great Basil Rathbone. The duel between Power and Rathbone towards the end of the film is still considered one of the greatest fencing sequences ever filmed. The trope of the hero with a secret identity was invented by Baroness Orczy in her play (1903) and novel (1905) _The Scarlet Pimpernel._ The play was a great success, running for four years in London. The novel and the character were so popular, and profitable, that over her lifetime she would write fourteen sequels. _The Scarlet Pimpernel_ and its sequels have been adapted to the screen many times, but the best of the bunch is certainly the 1934 production starring Leslie Howard as Sir Percy Blakeney (The Scarlet Pimpernel). Leslie Howard was one of Britain's finest actors, equally popular on either side of the Atlantic. He played Ashley Wilkes in _Gone With the Wind,_ but my favorite of his performances is as Prof. Henry Higgins in Anthony Asquith's film of Bernard Shaw's _Pygmalion._ Sadly, Howard died during WWII when his plane was shot down.

James Horner's score is fantastic. I love the theme when Antonio gets his vengeance. The chirpy horns as he stabs Captain Love. You should check out Assassins 1995 Jen. A nice cheesy action where you get to see Antonio as a maniacal villain.

The villain is not doing drugs. The thing he sniffs up his nose 👃 is sort of a fragrance, so he doesn't smell stinch. People didn't bathe too often back then. This was a luxury that the super rich could do in those times that the common people couldn't in order to maintain the illusion of cleanliness all around. -OG

Bruce whayne was on his way home from watching the ( mask of zorro ) with his parents, batman is inspired by zorro . The rich playboy, secret identity. Ect . And the batcave. The house ect

couple of other good adventure movies : The Rocketeer (James Horner is also the composer for that one) and Flash Gordon - As a bonus both films have supporting roles for Timothy Dalton.

As others have said, in the batman comics the night Bruce's parents were killed they were leaving a theater showing Zorro. So Batman was greatly inspired from Zorro.

Not king, governor. Or something like that. Catherine Zeta Jones is extraordinarily beautiful. Like Anthony Hopkins she's Welsh.

You Swashbuckler film list should be, Cyrano de Bergerac 1950, (Cyrano is a badass), The Three Musketeers 1973 and it's sequel The Four Musketeers 1974. They were shot at the same time and feature Raquel Welch and a few other actors you are already familiar with. Captain Blood 1935, stars Errol Flynn, perhaps the greatest swashbuckler of them all. And The Mark of Zorro 1920 is the first swashbuckler and stars Douglas Fairbanks who was so athletic there was no need for CGI.

I always thought this movie's premise was one of the main inspirations for Batman Beyond. The elderly hero passing on the mantle to a younger protégé who wants to seek justice for a member of his family who was murdered.

Jen, these were wonderful reactions for an awesome movie, that features outstanding performances from the cast and offers us an early glimpse of Banderas as " Puss In Boots " from Shrek 2! :)

My grandfather took me to see this movie when I was 10 because he thought I'd like it. I ended up LOVING it! In the months following the movie, he and I would use plastic baseball bats to sword fight. He'd let me be Zorro every time.

Created by Johnston McCulley and established in 1919. Zorro is the original caped crusader as an fictional icon of Spanish, Mexican, American culture. Live-action, animated, tv, film, comics, video games, toys, you name it. Almost 80 years after his impact, no one expected a brand new film about the dashing and courageous Fox. This was one of 2 new entries, directed by Martin Campbell (Goldeneye). Perfect casting with Hopkins as the original, Banderas (first spanish Zorro ever) as the successor and C. Zeta Jones as gorgeous, brave Elena. The action is good and old fashioned just like the original Zorro stories. But with more of flare with today's filmmaking. Marc Anthony & Tina Arena with the love theme, "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You" is considered underrated. The M of Z indeed made it cool to see old-time heroes make a comeback and grab the imagination of newer generations. You will love it's sequel, The Legend of Zorro (2005).

I was 9 years old. during the stable scene I can still remember my father saying, "she'd be much prettier with short hair" RIP dad miss you.

Any man who didn't fall in lust w CZJ as she appears in this movie is dead in the heart (& loins!)...

Joaquin Murrieta and 3 fingered Jack were real bandits in the 19th century who really did have their body parts preserved in alcohol. In a bit of a meta twist Joaquin Murrieta is believed to be one of the inspirations for Zorro.

i love this movie but it's been a while since i have watched it. It occurs to me now they constructed the story with a lot of similarity to The Count of Monte Cristo

I own the score, one of the late James Horner's best (sadly lost to us far too soon). One of the best flicks from the 90s, it does everything just right!

One of my all time favorite adventure movies! Just fantastic characters! One way to look at the scene where Alejandro drinks the wine from the jar with his brother's head, is to recall what Captain Love said about the indians who would would eat their slain enemies. Alejandro was esentially drinking his brother's spirit and taking his bravery to give him the strength to get his revenge.

11:18 "You should not trade something like that for a mere glass of whiskey." "Why not? You think I could get _two?"_ Maybe it sets me apart, but this exchange stands out to me, in retrospect.

This was my first "adult" VHS tape when I was a kid and I've loved the movie ever since. They really should make a third one with Banderas and have him be the old seasoned Zorro who teaches his son to become next Zorro.

Underrated movie for sure. Zorro is like a superhero without super powers :D

Bob Anderson was the Sword Master on this film, Princes Bride, 3 Musketeers, Highlander, Star Wars, LOTR, and many more! And you need to watch 3 Musketeers (1993 version),. Like this film, it's a very fun action / adventure flick.

A heavily underrated genre for movies (Mexican based wild west)... it feels familiar but also has a certain quality of its own (like Mexican wrestling compared to American Professional Wrestling). I used to watch a rerun of a BW Zoro tv show in the 80's (same time as things like Hogans Heroes and Beverly Hillbillies). Something alot of people forget about these early Banderas films is he didnt really speak much English, or not as well as you'd think. He didnt learn English until he was 30.. in his first Hollywood movie in 1992 The Mambo Kings, he knew 0 english, 6 years latter he was in this.

Great movie! I used to watch the old black and white Zorro show from the 50s. I always stayed up late to catch the reruns on the Disney channel, probably saw every episode, but I still love it.

The 1940 film "The Mark of Zorro" starring Tyrone Power is the story of Diego dela Vega. Some could argue that The Mask of Zorro is a spiritual sequel to that wherein Zorro passes the torch to Alejandro.

A few other movie soundtracks by James Horner: 1) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 2) Braveheart 3) Apollo 13 3) Titanic Died in a plane crash in 2015.

Thanks for another great reaction. And well done to Canadians for saying Zed and not Zee, ha ha. As you obviously love swashbuckling sword action, you should treat yourself to 1930s Errol Flynn in Captain Blood and the adventures of Robin Hood. Both have wonderful sword fights.

I wish you would go back to the true classic swashbucklers: "The Scarlet Pimpernel" (1935), "Captain Blood" (1935), "The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), and, if you haven't seen it since you were a child, "The Mark of Zorro" 1940). The action is not only thrilling but possible. The characters are human. The stories are believable. The music in all of these, especially Robin Hood and Zorro, is where the newer composers get their inspiration.

They don't make fun swashbuckling adventure films like this anymore.

Kids these days would think this film is "stupid" like the sword fighting is no where near films today but it's a 90s classic & I love it, I grew up watching these films.

As someone who is half Mexican, this is my favorite Zorro movie. Watch Disney Three Musketeers next.
