Original Movie: The Mask of Zorro
Comments (28)
It’s cool you notice the Batman similarities Zorro was one of the influences in Batmans creation. This also gets referenced in some versions of the Wayne’s murder they were walking home from the movies having seen the Tyrone Power Mark of Zorro movie. There were jokes leading up to The Batman releasing that Robert Pattinsons Batman was the right age to have been seeing this Zorro film the night they died.
The "drugs" he was doing in the opening scene was just tobacco in a form called "snuff".
Now you can understand the inspiration for puss in boots lol
If you watched the black and white Zorro series from the late 50s you might appreciate this film more.
He said the black horse was LIKE Tornado, not was tornado. Training montages typically represent weeks, not 2 days.
Also this was actually perfect viewing before Shanghai noon/nights!!! Literally almost tonally the same and equally as good x
An iconic movie honestly, I always loved watching it as a kid. The perfect action flick tbh, and the sequel is great too - it also gives Catherine Zeta more to do!
Please react to K-pop Demon Hunters
It makes me joyful to see how much joy this movie brings you 😁
Still have this on VHS
Nothing ages me quite like the realization that what seemed "badass and stylized" in the 90's is now seen as "over the top and campy." XD Ah well.
Wow, I feel like this ripped off a LOT from that Puss In Boots series, the main guy even copied Puss' VOICE! 😁
There is no filter on CZJ. She's just that gorgeous.
Will you watch ET the Extraterrestrial with us? It's a Spielberg classic with a baby Drew Barrymore. I know you will enjoy it. You could honestly use it as a nice palate cleanser during Natmare Season. It is a Halloween movie. Please consider it!
Is it only me, or are those loud background sounds very annoying? This is not the first time, and maybe there is a way to get rid of them.
If you mean Koda, you can't get rid of him. It's his channel too! 🐶😊
The only worthwhile thing from "Mask of Zorro" was that it led to Antonio Banderas voicing Puss in Boots in the Dreamworks CG-animated films. And somehow, Puss in Boots is less cartoonish than Zorro.
Yeah, but it’s good though…
That was a lot of fun. I'm glad we got this reaction. I share your view of this movie for the most part. It stays true to the tone of the genre and delivers confidently within those boundaries. I disagree on one point. While Catherine Zeta-Jones is obviously very attractive, I think her character functions as more than just a pretty face. She's the element that ties together the two generations of Zorro, and she anchors de la Vega's values and emotional compass. Had she died the night her mother died, de la Vega would have been a different man, and the story would have unfolded very differently.
This was such a fun movie! An Epic Adventure! Like PoTC, The Mummy, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Robin Hood! Great summer popcorn flick! I am glad Nat watched and it took her mind off of all her debilitating illnesses. All of them. So many. Soooooo many of them.
might be my Biase speaking lol but one of my favorites that is on repeat in my household.
It's funny that you compare his lair to the batcave because Zorro was one of inspirations for Batman.
You did good watching the longer version. The few extra bits don't make a big difference. When in doubt, go with the longer version unless we warn you ahead of time. Fun fact: Zorro was the inspiration for Batman.
I never knew there was another version other then this. I've only ever seen this one, there's not one scene that felt different or unfamiliar. What were the differences?
I told you that you would like it!
Just by the thumbnail, I can tell she’s in a great mood lol.
Happy Feature Friday Nat 😊 Been looking forward to watching this movie with you. I haven't seen this for a good while but I do remember it being epic and a lot of fun. And James Horner's score has a lot of great action cues in it. Damn, what a fun way to start the weekend. It was much needed. Really enjoyed watching this with you Nat. It's fun that both Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones are Welsh. You definitely need to watch the second one some time. And also if you're looking for similar types of movies, The Mummy Returns would be a fun one too. Thanks for a really cool reaction today Nat 💛
