This is legit one of my favourite action movies of all time. I think from the writing to the acting, the direction, the action sequences, the score, costumes, sound all of that are just fantastic
Mask of Zorro is not just my top Action movie, it is my favourite film of all time. Like you said, each time I watch it again, I'm mesmerized by how every element ( from the cast, to the production design) is working together like clockwork to perfection.
Not enough people know how great this movie is! Easily one of the best action films ever and also helped lead to the Pirates of the Carribean series (even has some of the same writers).
The evolution of the "Here's the thing" visual gag into just showing Ebon Moss-Bachrach was brilliant. Well done Ben and/or Lawrence great work as always
@@luckyspurs Genetically there's a link. During the last ice age there was a human outpost in what we now call Basque country, in the north of Spain, and as Europe warmed people started migrating north to England and Ireland. Subsequent invasions of England by Romans and Germans drove these people (the "Celts") to the western periphery, most notably Wales. And Anthony Hopkins is Welsh too, so I'd say this movie is thoroughly covered as far as not offending twitter warriors.
@@ThreadBombthe Basques aren't Celtic. Or at least, their language isn't. There did used to be celts/gauls all over western Europe, don't remember off the top of my head how much they were in Iberia
The horse stable scenes were shot in my uncle's candle-making factory in Mexico. When my parents told me this at 9 years old it was the coolest thing ever. At 23 it's still the coolest thing. I did grow up thinking Sir Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta Jones were hispanic, but otherwise one of my favorite movies of all time. Anthony De La Hopkins had me rollin and Baby Zoro would make a fire kids show like baby looney tunes
This is the purest and best definition of a perfect swashbuckling adventure film. Really underrated in modern pop culture in my opinion. The two narratives of a new and old zorro work so well (and further the connections to batman through batman beyond imo) It’s a shame the sequel wasn’t able to capture the same magic… but this one? Great action, comedy and levity
i had forgotten for 15 years than Anthony Hopkins was the OG Zorro in this, basically playing the Batman Beyond Bruce Wayne role. fantastic fuckin movie, up there with The Mummy.
I love the training montage. Particularly when Anthony Hopkins gently knocks the sword out of AB's hand after he does some enthusiastic moves. A movie that has stood the test of time and holds up really well. The Actors took it seriously (verisimilitude) but also look like they're having a lot of fun.
The way this film managed to truly capture the essence of those 30s and 40s swashbuckling movies, whilst also never seeming dated is amazing. A stone cold and frankly underrated classic!
I found it funny at 15:36 seeing my hometown's Vue cinema depicted with 2 bodies on the floor and a random Zorro, as this is indeed a realistic vision of what Birkenhead is like and you do indeed find characters like this around people sleeping on the street.
I was 13 when this came out in theaters and loved it so much! I became a Zorro fan, Catherine Zeta-Jones was my first celebrity crush at such a young age, and I even wanted one of those swords! We even have a friend of my dad's who is a Zorro fan and gave us a book of Zorro as a gift!
That shot of him jumping really high from a roof onto a horse ….but misses is still so good, and funny. The position of the arms and legs as he hits the ground…..so good
What a fabulous film! They literally don't make them like this anymore. It's a BIG summer action tentpole with apparently not a lick of digital effects anywhere in there! All practical filmmaking with miniatures, physical stunts, and the best swordplay around! Also, you can almost look at The Mask of Zorro as a proto-Batman Beyond. The classic Zorro has aged out of the role, and trains a young, unruly successor to bring justice to an unjust land.
Personally this is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. The origin story is done well, the sword fighting is impeccable and Catherine zeta jones enhances the movie with her beauty.
Hey I got a cameo at 2:51! I'm loving the video so far, thanks for covering the Zorro franchise on your channel guys, the more large UA-camrs that cover Zorro, the more likely that fanbase gains new members. I love that James is such a big fan of Zorro in it's entirety and not just Mask of Zorro, I'd absolutely love to talk to both of you guys about the franchise one day
So one bit of trivia about this movie - Antonio Banderas was famous for having a hatred of yellow corn chips, which required craft services to hand-select the corn for, and hand-make, more blue corn chips than any film's craft service table before or since, which led to the working title of this film being Blue Harvest, which funnily enough, you might not know this, was the working title of the original Star Wars movie.
I genuinely had a moment where I thought, "Wait, is that Wyatt Russell? No, this is about 25 years old, it physically can't be," so it was nice to know I'm not the only person to see the resemblance. Also, you've reminded me I've not seen this movie for a decade or more and I need to rectify that.
I love the fact that even though this series is broadcast to the world, these two still manage to include a reference, and footage, of Saint's legend Plugger, and the absolute prick of bloke that is D. Brereton. I love picturing the conversation where you try to explain the reference of such enigmas to Ben and Lawrence haahhaha
The mask of zorro soundtrack is easily one of my favorite movie soundtrack in movie history, top 8 to be exact. 💯 "I want to spend my lifetime, loving youuu."🥰
I love that after all the years podcasting of Jame's mentioning loving Zorro we're finally here to review it, brings tears to my eyes or maybe it's all the gun powder from the explosions one or the other..
Not gonna lie, Zorro casting two Welsh people as father and daughter (Hopkins and Zeta-Jones) is kind of genius. Why? Because Welsh people are awesome and Zorro is awesome so it works.
Never heard James be so relentlessly positive about a movie. Feel Mason missed a real opportunity for a "Why don't you marry him if you love him so much" style joke.
Mask of Zorro is almost a perfect film. I love it. The biggest downside is none of the Mexicans are played by Mexicans (I even IMDB'd the Mexican guard who Anthony Hopkins kills to escape prison and the dude is a white guy from Detroit). British people playing Spanish royalty and Mexicans...it's hilarious. I'll tell you who's underrated in this flick and that's Matt Letscher. Captain Love was an awesome villain.
Fun fact - it's believed that the 'real' zoro was actually an Irish man named William Lamport who moved to Mexico as a child and went on to try form a rebellion against the Spanish crown. He was given the name Don Guillén de Lamport (or Lombardo) y Guzmán
If you love historical and grounded content then Zorro is for you but if you are fond of accelerated stuff then it probably is Batman but Zorro is a classic
Vive el Zorro! Thank you for this! I saw this 12 times in the theaters. This is my favorite movie of all time. I love the joy and excitement you guys have for this. I actually laughed out loud at 17:04.
I love this movie so much. The second one isn't terrible but not great, just good. You don't ever need to see it if you don't want to (unlike the first), but you can watch it and be entertained. Also favorite Antonio movie that NEVER GETS ENOUGH LOVE!!! 13TH WARRIOR!!! One of my personal favorites
What Maso doesn't know is the Murrieta family is NOT made up for this film. Its the real life inspo for Zorro. People way too deep in Zorro lore not only know this, but love the inclusion.
I love this movie so much. I do find it funny that they have a Welshman playing a Spaniard and a Spaniard playing a Mexican lol. Also if original Zorro was proto Batman then this movie is Batman beyond
This might sound lame, but I think part of what makes this movie so good is it's got a lot of heart to it. Something most movies don't seem to have these days
Its a reference to the last time they mentioned dermott Brereton buying a subway sandwich from James friend and him saying jalapeño like that. I have no idea when that was
The comedic duo along with excellent editing make this channel a great one to watch. Thanks for all the hardwork, I know you make my day a bit better everytime I see an upload.
Absolutely love this film. It's a pure adventure film anchored by an incredible cast, and *still* some of the most mind blowing on-screen stunts. The horse chase where a Zorro (aka some super stunt guy) on the back of a speeding horse does some kind of physics defying backflip to swap himself around to sword fight people chasing him on other horses is just a perfect example of peak 90s adventure movie greatness.
10:27 I believe that this comment is directed specifically at me. Last week in the live chat for the bender episode, Zorro came up and I said that this movie is trash. I also said that the og Zorro film with Basil Rathbone as the villain, was vastly superior (props to the editor(s) for including a snippet or two from said movie). Funnily enough, although I have never stepped off a cliff, I did almost die in a rockslide while hiking at the bottom of a cliff. It is somewhat disconcerting that James was able to hit me with such an on the mark riposte. I stand by what I said, but I also learned my lesson. Never again will I risk Mr. Sunday’s wrath.
10:34 that’s me, except instead of looking up, I dove for cover and tried to osmosis myself into the cliff side, screamed the most heartfelt f bomb of my life, ran out of breath while choking on debris, snatched another breath and then went back to screaming. By the time I ran out of breath again, it was over. On second thought, I take back everything I said about Zorro. Best movie ever. How did they know how to trigger the hairiest memory of my life??!
This is probably the definitive Banderas movie for many and with good reason. When the man who is made of charm, fun, and passion is cast as a dashing hero you have sonething special.
The Ma*r*k of Zorro, from 1940, has an absolutely amazing fight between Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone, two very gifted fencers. Edit: brief section of it shown @18:11, thanks editors!
James famously had the reverse Batman origin of seeing a Zorro movie as a child and having a great time
This actually explains a lot.
That’s how he found his parents too
He had a great time!!
The mental image of young Robbat Battinbat watching this movie before his folks get shot is absolutely hilarious
We need Battinbat Batman Vs Banderas Zorro
Just imagining his little Bruce Wayne on a leash like that meme rriiiiiiiight before Crime Alley
James saying Spanish words are hard with an Australian accent followed up by him later pronouncing "Jalapeño" as "juh-lah-pen-oh" was **chef's kiss**
That’s a callback
@@SaulGMV yes, they told that story before and that time James pronounced "jalapeño" correctly
It was from the Fast and the Furious 1 video where James first told the story of Dermie ordering food from his friend working at Subway
The passion and love that James talks about Zorro is only rivaled by the way he talks about the Souvlaki Hut Gorilla Commercial and being a father.
“As a father…”

...and then he shot him
And then he Zorroed all over those felines

I will listen to hours of James talking about Zorro
Same. It was much more entertaining than I would've thought beforehand.
It is now my workout motivation soundtrack.
Same but swap Zorro for 80's VFL
This movie is responsible for me thinking that Catherine Zeta-Jones was latina for most of my youth

In the seventies, we had toy swords with chalk on the tip to make the mark of Zorro.

I guess we all learned to love Zorro in today’s episode.
always did always will, although Robin Hood was first Zorro will forever have a place in my heart.
I watched the two movies in prep for this video and they were fricken sick. I’m so mad nobody told me how great they are and how sexy Hopkins was.
My favourite part was when zorro met rude zorro and rude zorro said "get on yer back"
I found it funny at 15:36 seeing my hometown's Vue cinema depicted with 2 bodies on the floor and a random Zorro, as this is indeed a realistic vision of what Birkenhead is like and you do indeed find characters like this around people sleeping on the street.

They somehow made Anthony Hopkins pretty damn hot in this movie.
That's some back handed compliment. Maybe it was just by bathing in the aura of Banderas and CZJ.
SOMEHOW!? MATE!
Somehow? Excuse me?
Yes “somehow” because he’s also Hannibal Lecter, overtly sexual cannibal
Anthony Hotkins, if you will.

Fun fact: Zorro, Batman, and many superhero/vigilante tropes are inspired by the story “The Scarlet Pimpernel” which was originally published in 1905.
Pimpernel isn't easy!
I have to get around to reading that.
And loosely based on the outlaw Joaquín Murrieta.
If anything, Zorro is an anti-Pimpernel. He fights for the people, not to rescue noblemen from the Revolution.

Does James say Jalapeno wrong as a bit or are Australians just really pushing it
Its a reference to the last time they mentioned dermott Brereton buying a subway sandwich from James friend and him saying jalapeño like that. I have no idea when that was
Technically is Jalapeño, and most English speaking pronounce it wrong.
As an Aussie we do say it properly but we also joke about and pronounce every letter, most likely a gag
Potentially a Trailer Park Reference. I do it almost 20 years later just because it made me laugh when they did it (Rickyism).

This is probably the definitive Banderas movie for many and with good reason. When the man who is made of charm, fun, and passion is cast as a dashing hero you have sonething special.
Really enjoying the editors adding animation to the James breath inbetween points being made.
The Mask of Zorro is awesome. Saw it in theaters... and my parents didn't get murdered
The Ma*r*k of Zorro, from 1940, has an absolutely amazing fight between Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone, two very gifted fencers. Edit: brief section of it shown @18:11, thanks editors!
