The complete list why this movie rules:

1- Alain Delon at his climax, just PERFECT while wearing his Zorro mask and costume. Best visual Zorro ever been. Plus, his "civilian" identity is the most deliciously "gay" performance I ever witnessed.

2- Great story, they actually changed the concept of Zorro. Nice and brilliant "reimagining".

3- TERRIFIC action, greatest swordfight ever been in movies since man created cinema.

4- SPAGHETTI WESTERN-like humour and drama mixed together in a brilliant way.

At last but not least:

5- Best theme song ever witten for a superhero. EVER.

I would humbly suggest it is ONE of the greatest Zorro movies and certainly I will be glad to have it. The Tyrone Power / Basil Rathbone 1940 version has yet to be equalled however. Now that was a fencing feast and a brillaint movie.

I love the Power version, but... no way!

Nothing can top the swordfight at the end of 1975's "Zorro", and I didn't like the fact Tyrone Power was given a much limited "being masked" time.

My Zorro chart:

1- Zorro (1975)
2- Mask of Zorro
3- Legend of Zorro
4- Zorro (Fairbanks)
5- Zorro (Power)

Has anyone even heard of Somerville House?

Eh, it was ok, but "The Mark of Zorro" it was not. Still I love the character so much, I might bite at the right price. They need to release the 1940 film though, darn it. It had the greatest theatrical sword fight ever, and both actors were good fencers.

I'm under the impression you never watched Delon's Zorro before. Good for you, you'll be amazed.

Hi,

i 'am very exciting by this releasse..
i always loved this movie (great childhood memories), and to me it's the best Zorro, after Guy williams of course, and before Banderas.
Sadly, i haven't seen it for over a decade, as the dvd realeases were all big failures.
So, up till now, this one seems like a perfect realease:
2k remastered,widescreen anamorphic, uncut (124 min) , French and english versions (acording to amazon)..
the only question, as i live in France, is this will be region free?
please let it be region free, or i will to wait i don't know how long to see this movie again..

is anybody know if it will be region free?

And you would be wrong. I saw it when it originally ran in theaters in '75.

YES TO EVERYTHING TO THE ABOVE!!!

I love this film, the film's tone and naff song is so innocent without being overtly camp. Also Alain Delon is, in my opinion, the best Zorro. Equal to Tyrone Power and far better than Banderas. However I'm going to wait for the the PQ/AQ reviews before purchasing this since I already own the French R2 DVD which has an English mono track and also has the 2hr cut of the film.

Hopefully the Blu ray will release this with an Italian track, will love to see it in Italian.

Although I don't remember anything of it now..

I remember mainly Disney's Zorro, with Guy Willaims, that was a great series (imo) and I loved how the plot was evenly balanced with the adventure of Zorro/Don Diego. Though I was curious why Diego wasn't interested in the woman during Season 1 cause he came off alil gay in Season 1 when he was "focused" on Books, Guitars,etc. But I guess Walt's team was more concerned on the story itself

Here's a bonus feat bout the Zorro Property

(the Italian dubbing was great, especially Delon's voice).

filmmusic · 11-11-2012, 12:44 PM

Is English the original language?
because I see most actors are italian.
I always like to watch a film in the original language that it was filmed with the actors' own voices.
