Summary: Foxy Masked Avenger
Review: I enjoyed the movie, even though the VHS film clarity was questionable...more like a copy made from of a copy of a copy. This older version is action packed. Alain Delon's portrayal of Zorro is outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the scene where Zorro brings the vilain general down to his knees and forces him to apologize to the fair lady. I understand that the original 2 hours version was "butchered" down to only 1 1/2 hour, ... still the plot could be followed, if one doesn't ask too many questions about the unexplained caracters that pop in & out...but please a note to the film editors...get rid of the backgroung music and song. It is the most obnoxious theme ever....la-la-la-no-respect, la-la-la-Zorro-is-back. God please spare me the pain of ever having to listen to this awful song again! I rated this movie 4+ Stars and the music "Minus" -4 Stars. Buy it, I promise you, you'll enjoy it. And when the theme song is played, simply mute the volume and rest your ears.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We Want A FULL VERSION ZORRO!

Summary: The best Zorro image: Alain Delon
Review: Saw the movie in the early 80's, Alain is definitely the one. It is better than any Zorro versions up 'till 1999.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Zorro, with Alain Delon more of a spaghetti western,
Review: The film seems more of a spaghetti western then what you'ld expect from the Zorro seen on television and the 1940's & 1950's. Alain Delon, even with his chisilled looks as the protaganist, seems more like he should be the Commedante, then Zorro. He acts like a patsy in his alter-ego, rather than a man that was an intellectual, and someone that was in control of his emotions. This Zorro, did't act like he could control himself when things got close boiling point. The fencng scenes were put together rather well though. END

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: a very strange movie.
Review: There are definately good points to this movie, (as the rest of the reviews have expressed) but I think it also has some rather serious flaws. The details and connections of the plot are extremely difficult to follow-- there are unexplained characters and scenes: a large black dog shows up and reveals a hidden passage, some random lady has an expert in martial arts as a maid in waiting, the heroine (who has the misfortune to be named Hortensia) first catches Zorro's attention but then once she has fallen in love with him, he apparently abandons her. There is very little clear connection between scenes, and it is sometimes extremely difficult to follow who all the characters are, or where the action takes place. There is no background music except for the occasional recurrance of the tacky theme song ("...la la la la, Zorro's back") and the final fight scene goes on forever with nothing but the clang of swords. It is great if you are interested in watching fight choreography, but in terms of plot it is interminable, and extremely confusing, as aparently the oponents back their way about the entire city...

This is an ammusing thing to watch, but it simply doesn't make much sense.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Alain Delon's Masked Rider one of the better Zorro's!
Review: There are many actors who've played Zorro on the screen, but few that I would say really bring the character to life on the screen, and these include Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Tyrone Power, Guy Williams (of the Disney TV series), Reed Hadley (of the Republic serial ZORRO'S FIGHTING LEGION), Duncan Regehr (of the Family Channel TV series), and Alain Delon. This film, shot in Italy/France, takes the origin of Zorro in a new direction, transferring the origin from Los Angeles California to Nuova Aragon in South America and giving a less altruistic reason for creating the identity of Zorro (the murder of Zorro's friend, the new Governor of Nuova Aragon, by the evil Colonel Huerta) among other differences, but the plot flows well enough, the humor of Zorro's outfoxing Hueta and his men has been restored, and the final duel between Zorro and Huerta (probably the longest on record) is excellently choreographed. Although some scenes have been edited to make this film more PG tha! n PG-13 (trimming away some of the more graphic violence), it is still one of the best ZORRO films made and should be considered wrth being a part of any ZORRO film collection. END
