Watch Zorro For Free

Too much of everything

Powerful

Memorable, crazy movie

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

Having grown up with the Disney/Guy Willimas Zorro and become a Zorro fan I have tried watching as many versions of the Zorro movies that have been made. I really enjoyed this one. I think Alain Delon makes a great Zorro and while it doesn't stay true to the original novel (and let's face it most of the Zorro movies that have been made as well as the Zorro TV shows, very few followed the book) it is full of action, great settings and an entertaining cast. I have to confess I am very partial to the European Zorro productions from the 60's and early 70's. They are rather campy but very entertaining. I'm surprised this Zorro movie has not been released in a good DVD version as Alain Delon is a well know actor.Sit down and enjoy an evening with Alain Delon as Senor Zorro in a great swashbuckling movie.

For us that grew up in the '70's... THIS was our Zorro film!It was kinda campy, but then again... so was Batman reruns. Watching it again now, it's hard to compare with films made nowdays, but I still enjoyed it. This time around I got the subtle jokes (Zorro sticks his foot in front of Garcia and says, "Have a nice trip").The common themes of Zorro are there - The freeing of the slave labor, the little boy that assists Zorro in slapping the soldiers around, the priest, the Diego character. Also all the familiar swordfighting cliches (i.e, the candle cut, the jump up on the table).I recently found this at Wal-Mart for $4.99, so I bought it not expecting much. From the moment I heard the silly Zorro theme song, I knew that this was the Zorro movie from my youth!Get this and enjoy it!

A film´s quality cannot be reduced in its main title track...I even may agree that the song "Zorro is back" is not the best composition made by the Italian brothers Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, but the rest of the film score is very good.Alain Delon performance is just great along with the other actors. The plot, the script, the photography, the direction and everything is just fine.For what I´ve read in different places, it seems as European films go really bad when they´re dubbed in English... gee that´s bad luck!. But that has nothing to do with the film... I can´t complain about the Spanish version of "El Zorro". It´s fine.This is a very amusing, non-stop action film, so take my advice and don´t miss it... you´ll have a wonderful time... because...ZORRO IS BACK!!(10 out of 10)
