Zorro (1974)

Rating:
Summary: very bad
Review: This is a terribly abridged and deformed version of the original movie. Due to stupid approach of the DVD issuer, the conflict between violent/non-violent justice remains unrevield. Also some plotlines are lost.
If you really love the movie of your childhood , you vill by cruelly disappointed.

Summary: fun!
Review: This is a very enjoyable zorro movie, although somewhat removed from its original roots, it makes it all the more better. I like how colonel Huerta suspects the Governor/Zorro from the begining and every attemp he tries to catch him he fails. Alain Delon is the perfect Zorro and Stanley Baker a good villian "only real danger and actual bleeding can teach a man to fight."
The only problem is trying to find a good copy of this movie. I have had 3 different copies, all from different companys, and each either leave out a scene or two or have betters or worse picture quality. I ordered the DVD in hopes of the better.

Summary: Great movie, bad DVD
Review: This is a wonderful Zorro film. I am avid Zorro collector and have the original, with the extra scenes, on VHS. This DVD is like someone rescued the various clips from their VHS tape and copied it to DVD. That said, though, ... it's still worth having. The fight scenes are intact and was some of the best swordfighting choreography ever. It's missing all the story buildup, so many of the scenes won't make sense, but the fact that I can still enjoy it even with all that gone says something about this film.

Review: this movie is silly and funny. my eight year old son loved it. lots of action for the kids in the vein of "los tres amigos". this film is not for everyone but i think every serious zorro collector should have it. not a bad film for those who know how to lighten up. alain delon at his peak END

Summary: this edited version is as good as the latest full version.
Review: this movie is so good and large scale that it takes two or three viewings until you realize that it has been edited. Delon plays the title character as world weary warrior, who's passion is rekindled by the assasination of a close friend. The action never devolves into the cartoonish, but stays focused on the Zorro's ultimate purpose. The unveiling of power hungry and evil men.

Summary: Zorro
Review: This Zorro film is fairly good, although not up to par with The Mark of Zorro with Tyrone Power or the television series with Guy Williams. However, it does lend an air of believability that some other films have not. For this alone, it is a recommended video.

Summary: Very Disappointing...
Review: While growing up, I watched the movie at least eight times and still remember most of the scenes and dialogs. I was very excited when I found a copy of Zorro (with Alain Delon) on the Amazon and bought it right away. To much of my disappointment, the movie was cut mercilessly, and as one of the reviewers correctly noticed, to a person who had never seen it before, it would be very difficult to follow the plot. It's confusing. But it's confusing ONLY BECAUSE someone took the liberty to 'EDIT' it.

Rating:
Summary: Great fun from an unlikely source
Review: Who'd have guessed that the aging beautiful but blank Alain Delon had so much playfulness on tap? He has a lot of fun in both sides of his character and this is a boon to the audience. The fight scenes are like a western Jackie Chan movie, combining fighting choreography, acrobatics, humor, and a lot of breaking objects. It does go on a bit too long though.
