Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

scribe_ninja I FOUND IT! I remember seeing this movie as a kid and I thank God for IMDb for helping me find it again. And it's still just as fun and exiting to watch as it was all those years ago. I remember wanting more when the end came and Zorro rode off into the distance after killing the bad guy.I must say that the previous comments were not helpful in the least so it's not surprising that I highly disagree.First of all it's important to note that this film doesn't take itself seriously. This is just a fun action/comedy/adventure film. It's escapism at it's best.Alain Delon is marvelous in the duel roles as the highly effeminate governor, Miguel de la Serna, which he takes on to avenge the death of his friend and that of Zorro. And boy does he do a great job of putting as much distance between two persona's so as not to cause suspicion! Who would ever think that the dashing Zorro and the clumsy timid governor are one in the same? This Zorro is smart and earns the title effectively "The spirit of the black masked fox". His role as a weak governor wins him the confidence of the evil Colonel Huerta (who doesn't feel that this governor is worth assassinating) and thus he is able to take his revenge by not only thwarting the Colonel's every move by being privy to Huerta's plans but also inspiring the people of Nuova Aragon to finally stand up and fight against the oppression that is imposed upon them by his cunning defiance of those in power - both of which leads to a final duel between Huerta and Zorro.This role was made for Alain Delon. Handsome, dashing, graceful, funny, and fierce. Stanley Baker's arrogance and perpetual smirk of superiority makes him deliciously mean and nasty. He's the perfect villain.There are other minor characters of interest such as Zorro's side-kick, the mute, Joaquin, played by Enzo Cerusico, who adds the right balance without being annoying with his animations and Moustache is adorable as the bumbling Sgt. Garcia, with a healthy appetite.I would like to express that the final dual between Zorro and Huerta, which is approximately 10 minutes long is the best choreographed sword fight that I've ever seen and it's still thrilling to watch. It's very simplistic without all the fancy footwork and fake overly-done stunts you see in today's action films. This final dual shows two men (very human men) who are equally matched, battle it out with every ounce of breath within them. You feel their tiredness as the fight continues on, you see them sweat, you see them stumble from being tired but they are each determined to beat the other. This is how fight scenes should be.Also for those of you in the States, if you are interested in seeing this movie, I highly recommend you get a copy of the 120 minute version because the 90 minute version which is available in the states doesn't do this film justice. It's so heavily edited that it doesn't make sense. The 120 minute versions are available in Europe, unfortunately they are rare copies but it's not worth watching any other way.Let's not forget the title of the song "Zorro is Back". Some people hate it, some people love it...for me, it was Great fun hearing it again.

elephant_range Yes, the 'Hollywood DVD Classics' from Double-D print of _Zorro_ is overexposed and awful, but I didn't expect much to begin with. In fact, the DVD quality was so bad that I used it to test DVD drives and video software. However smoothly it ran gave an excellent indication of how well the buffering in a system I played it on was! Anyway, you can't go wrong if you think of this as just a rainy day DVD. The movie has nearly continuous and lavish action sequences, the acting is good, and it was worth every penny. The 'Zorro's Back' song by Oliver Onions is scarily contagious. There is also a good amount of humor more generally, but sometimes you will be laughing 'at it' as much as 'with it'.

ma-cortes The inimitable Alain Delon is Don Diego De la Vega , a foppish governor and look-alike gay , but he dons a black outfit and becomes the Zorro , the legendary masked , hero of oppressed . Zorro riding in the hoof-prints , relishes his secret identity in cape and blade and help the good people who are mistreated , thwarting the ambitious plans of the meanie official . He battles colonel Huertas (last feature movie by Stanley Baker) and a botcher sergeant (Moustache). Zorro's helped by a deaf and dumb servant (Enzo Cerusico) . Zorro unites forces to Father Francisco (Albertini) and a beautiful aristocrat (Ottavia Piccolo). Zorro-Delon fight evildoers and greedy colonel oppressor, while saving damsel in distress from a fate worse than death . The film is set in salty flavour of Old South American , New Aragon , rather than Old California , though it was filmed in Spain.Derring-do , feats , adventures , humor and action find this agreeable swashbuckler . Alain Delon runs and jumps , bounds and leaps all over the images and overacting outrageously when plays the queer governor . Delon requested to make this film after enjoying his role in the swashbuckler The Black Tulip (1964) by Christian Jaque . A nice cast keeps the picture moving at a rapid clip, special mention for Giacomo Rossi Stuart as grumpy German lieutenant Von Merkel and Moustache as bungler sergeant Garcia . The exciting final sword duel was inspired by the 1952 swashbuckler Scaramouche by George Sidney . Most of the crew was from Italy and the filming took place in Spain , though studio work was done in Rome , Italy . The motion picture was well-mounted and fast paced by Duccio Tessari , a Spaghetti Western expert.Other versions about this known personage , as television series starred by Guy Williams during the 60s and the 90s starred by Duncan Regher , as cinema the classic silent version (1920) by Douglas Fairbanks and 'The mark of Zorro' (1940) starred by Tyrone Power and directed by Robert Mamoulian . And , of course , modern rendition titled 'The mark and legend of Zorro' starred by Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones and directed by Martin Campbell .

shazza_dee86 When i first watched this flick - i was thinking it wasn't gonna be that good - it was a midday flick on an obscure channel (this was in 2005) - but i wound up enjoying every last second of it - i loved it - i was so surprised about how good it actually was.OK - granted - some of the effects (sound or otherwise) aren't the greatest - but we are talking about a flick that was made over 30 years ago - not last month - so you do have to give it some credit - but even considering that it was made so long ago - it out does alotta movies that were made very recently - in my opinion anyways.if you're a Zorro fan (or just a fan of sword fight movies) you have to see this one - highly entertaining and one of my current favourites - i so want to get this on DVD.
