My wife watches THE MASK OF ZORRO for the FIRST time || Movie Reaction 

I absolutely love the fact that Holden just watched the entire movie in a Zorro costume without giving a single fuck.

Antonio and Catherine's chemistry is off the charts

This is one of my favorite films of all time. I watched every show and movie countless times. Was Zorro for Halloween twice. My dad bought a replica of the sword for my brother and I

This is one of my favorite films! I remember when it came out in theaters, I have seen it probably hundreds of times. I would watch a telenovela with my mom when I was a kid about Zorro. I don’t remember the name of the show just that she had to translate for me some times cause my Spanish wasn’t very good at the time. I love Holden’s excitement in this reaction!

LOVE the intro, this made me laugh so much.

That opening was AMAZING in the theater!

10:00 not to mention the character Joaquin Murrieta - he was one of the notorious 5 Joaquins and thought to perhaps have been Zorro himself.

Can't wait for y'all to react to The Legend of Zorro! I really love that movie so much as a kid so I hope you guys watch it real soon!

Don Diego de la Vega was traditionally played by a white man in most if not all versions. Traditionally speaking Don Diego was always zorro, until this movie specifically which introduced Murrieta who then took the mantle after his training... it’s a testament to Antonio’s performance we see him as the definitive zorro, and have to even use the word blanco zorro in the first place.

one of my favorite movies ever watched it all the time as a kid

I absolutely adore this movie.

And here I thought Spider-Man was Holden's favorite. His excitement throughout this entire video 😂, Holden don't ever change

I’m with you Holden. This is arguably one of the best adventure films. The story, James Horner’s music, Bob Anderson’s swordsmanship on display. Not to mention a well constructed cast.

Being raised as a hispanic and living in a hispanic household, this movie holds such a special place in my heart. I was so mesmerized how well the father of the Spy Kids (Antonio Banderes) was in this movie. Zoro is such an icon for the latinos, and i hope one day his story gets a modern remake for the next few generations

This video is FANTASTIC! I couldn't keep a straight face from start to finish. Holden, you have done an outstanding job on this one. The Holden lore is exquisite. I hope you dress up for more of these 😂

Mask of Zorro is technically a sequel story to the 50's Zorro show. That's why it starts out with Zorro and Rafael having basically a final confrontation.

Joaquin Murrieta, the Mexican Robin Hood/The Hero of California/the Robin Hood of El Dorado, was the inspiration of Zorro. Because of racial discrimination, his brother was murdered by hanging, and his wife was beaten and raped. He claimed he would “live on for revenge, and that his path should be marked in blood.” He hunted down the men who were responsible and killed them. Over the years, many immigrant miners were forced off of their gold claims, simply for not being white. Joaquin and his fellow vigilantes would rob the claims and mines the immigrants were forced off of and give the gold back to them. He was killed near my hometown, and his head was supposedly put in a jar and shipped all up and down the state to let all of California know that he had perished, but it was never proven to actually be HIS head. And, of course, Zorro was the inspiration for Batman (:

As wild as the opening is, one of my favorite things is Jen trying not to lose it behind the camera.

Just like Raiders Of The Lost Ark - a great mix of action, adventure, romance, drama, and humor. Perfectly cast, directed, written, scored, edited, and choreographed!

This was one of my favourite films growing up. Introduced me to Bandreas and Catherine. I think Hopkins as well.The sword-fighting was amazing in this. Probably one of the last full on practical movies ever made in that decade. A shame the sequel wasn't as good.

Zorro is one of the original inspirations for Batman. The Douglas Fairbanks movie from the 20s was one of Bill Finger's favorites as a kid and the 1940's Tyrone Power version was his favorite as an adult. In some incarnations, watching it was the last thing the Wayne family did together.

As soon as i saw Holden in the costume my first thought was "please watch it with it on" and sir i am very pleased with this classic of a film

hahaha that reverse flash edit. I remember not realizing Captain Love was Reverse Flash until pretty recently, it blew my mind! I'm with Holden, this movie is one of my absolute favorites. I've watched this sooooo many times, especially as a kid.

Loved that you referenced Letscher's role as Reverse-Flash. He was amazing, despite his limited screen time!

An instant classic. For me the "perfect, they don't make em like this anymore movie" is the Bourne Identity and Oceans Eleven.

Honestly, Zorro is the role Antonio Banderas was born to play. I know others could do it (Diego Luna would be *fantastic* as one example; if they went with an older Zorro, Tony Dalton would be amazing, and so on), but this role is to him what Superman was to Christopher Reeve. Just a perfect match of actor to character.

Hey Holden. Props for your intro and staying in costume during the reaction. That's some real love right there. I've seen a few things of Zorro while growing up myself and was a fan too. Zorro is indeed the original caped crusader as an fictional icon of Spanish, Mexican, American culture. Live-action, animated, tv, film, comics, video games, toys, you name it. Almost 80 years after his impact, no one expected a brand new film about the dashing and courageous Fox. This was one of 2 new entries, directed by Martin Campbell (Goldeneye). Perfect casting with Hopkins as the original, Banderas (first spanish Zorro ever) as the successor and C. Zeta Jones as gorgeous, brave Elena. The action is good and old fashioned just like the original Zorro stories. But with more of flare with today's filmmaking. Marc Anthony & Tina Arena with the love theme, "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You" is considered underrated. This movie made it cool to see old-time heroes make a comeback and grab the imagination of newer generations. The Legend of Zorro (2005) is very good too and sadly, it's the last one until they actually adapt him into a iteration as good as before.

And here we have the source material for Puss in Boots' mannerisms. Between Zorro and Puss, these are two of my favorite Antonio Banderas movie characters.

For Holden, for this film Banderas was trained by Bob Anderson, a legendary movie swordmaster (he's the one who fought as Darth Vader in Star Wars, he trained Viggo Mortensen for LOTR, etc...) and Anderson said that Banderas was the best student he ever had since Errol Flynn...

Throughout the reaction, seeing Jenn's hair placement just kept making me see her shirt as the word "WIPE" and it was unintentionally making me laugh with the baby and all. 😂

One of my most memorable movies from my childhood! I wish they made more movies like this one.

This is literally based on a novela. And just like the ones on tv now, a novela is melodramatic and fun.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE !!! 💖

YEAH this is a solid 10! This is my all time favorite movies. I saw it 12 times in the thearters. I can quote this movie in English and Spanish. I even got to speak on a podcast about Zorro. This movie got my into fencnig and theatrical combat. The second movie has grown on me over the years.

That was some superb spanish haha. you gotta let out spanish Holden more often, its crazy that you lived in peru. Amazing reaction as always, keep it up with that passion that characterizes you both, remember that "El único pecado sería negar lo que sus corazones sienten".

As a Latino, thank you Holden for the respect and love!

What made the opening to this video even more hilarious is the sound of Jen laughing in the background.

The level of excitement I felt when I saw the thumbnail was very high. That excitement doubled when I found out Holden is such a big fan of it. This is gonna be a good lunch break.

"I need to get some of that Zeta- Jones!" 😂😂 Now among my favorite Holden quote

OMG! 😂 I can't stop laughing at the intro. Holden you are too funny bro

They don't make swashbuckling adventure films like this anymore. But still, it's a fun movie from producer Steven Spielberg. Speaking of, Spielberg was actually considered for Directing Pirates Of The Caribbean back in the early 2000's, but dropped out as he was too busy working on MINORITY REPORT and Catch Me If You Can, both released in 2002.

This movie is a perfect example of how you have a 10/10 in its own genre/category. The film is not a "social commentary" nor "twisting expectations" film (from which we also have amazing 10/10 films that are epic on their own), it is just a perfectly done cheeky and awesome story, being told in its absolute best possible way; every part of it is correctly made for the genre it was intended to be, which makes it a 10/10, without the need to have "deep-reflective" or "sad depressing-type" moments (which are a vital part in other great films), because it's just not that type of movie. I would dare to say that trying to add something it didn't have, would probably end up decreasing the film's quality instead of improving it, that's how perfectly built and intertwined are the 5 storylines described in this film (Diego's Final Mission, Alejandro's Revenge, Helena's Personal Self-Discovery, The Enemies Plan to obtain California, The Training and Zorro's Mantle-Passing).

I love this movie. There is just something to the older swasbuckler movies that hits home. Zorro was relatively big part of my childhood with Batman and Phantom comics which both carry heavy influence from Zorro. I also think that this movie on top of Once upon a time with Mexico are the reason why I always feel cozy when watching anything warm brown that makes Spanish noises.

It's quite old, but I'd love to see you both react to the 1940 _The Mark of Zorro_ . It was one of the inspirations for this movie, it's aged remarkably well, and it contains perhaps the most technically skillful swordfight ever put to film.

I really love this film, really well-made by Martin Campbell (who holds especially big currency for me as a Bond fan, being the director of both Goldeneye and Casino Royale). Impeccable and unmatched chemistry between Banderas and Zeta-Jones, such delightfully fun and energetic action scenes, including the most sexually-charged sword fight ever put to film, and a fantastically epic Latin-flavoured score from James Horner, probably one of his best works alongside his music for Titanic. It's a really well-crafted and just unabashedly fun film, the kind of which we rarely ever see any more

Zorro was the role Antonio banderas was born to play...he has very good charisma on screen!

Watched this movie so many times as a kid hell i still got the vhs tape. Now watching it as an adult i enjoy the movie even more. The cast, music, fight scenes, the comedy are all great. I think you guys should watch "the count of monte cristo" next

OMG I got "Comment of the Day" on one of my favorite movie reactions! This is my personal top vid of yours now besides all your "Pensacola: Then & Now" vids😅 I could make this comment so long. Thank You 😇😇😇

Absolutely my favorite movie I seen it all the time as a kid so awesome to watch Love your reaction Holden and Jen

28:10 i had forgotten how much i loved the Zorro costume in these movies. Just seeing it makes my heart race with excitement

I love this movie as a kid and still do as an adult. I can remember dressing up as Zorro for Halloween back in my childhood. Im not gonna lie, but i was expecting Holden to say that Love and Raphael's deaths were priceless

This is my favorite James Horner score. He’s at the top of his form. Breaks my heart to this day we lost a great composer way too soon.

An absolute CLASSIC (-_^ ) Catherine Zeta Jones is absolutely gorgeous in this movie and many still envy Michael Douglas to this day. Wished they'd make a new Zorro for theatres or streaming series.

incredible video, incredible backstory, incredible skit, and even more incredible that you stayed in costume for the entire time 🔥

I prefer the sequel personally Holden... Shrek 2 is one of the greats!

Absolutely fantastic reaction! I loved this movie as well growing up and can’t find any flaws in it. Even the Legend of Zorro isn’t as good, I still think you guys should watch it. Also, the Count of Monte Cristo and the National Treasure movies would also be fun watches!

I grew up on the old Zorro TV show and the movie absolutely love them both! and I agree with Holden 10/10 one of my favs!!!

This is one of my all-time favorites too. Casting was fantastic and the classic fight & stunt choreography was top notch. And Michael Douglas wasn't the only person to become obsessed with Catherine Zeta-Jones after seeing this.

Right there with you holden! this movie was so well done. I grew up on the old black and white Zorro on the original Disney Channel. This story just has a special place in my heart!

Growing up, way back when. One of my favorite tv shows was Zorro starring Guy Williams. Who latter starred in “Lost in Space” as Professor Robinson

LMAO THAT INTRO!! ......the accent...and the fact Holden wears outfit throughout.......HAHAHA

In addition to Zorro, The Shadow was also a big influence in the creation of Batman... predating him by 8 years I believe. It's really a shame that Batman has received so much attention in movies, while Zorro and especially The Shadow have been largely ignored.

Love seeing Holden doing cosplay!!!

Hey Holden and Jen, long time subscriber with a small Spanish lesson. Adjectives come after nouns in Spanish 99% of the time. So it would be "El Zorro Blanco" not "El Blanco Zorro". Love the videos! Rebels rewatch with you two to get ready for Ahsoka has been so much fun!

I love the Looney Tunes moment with the cannon in the barn. Makes me laugh every time I see this movie

Thank you for reacting to this one! I grew up in the’80s, watching Guy Williams as Zorro on the Disney Channel. When I was a kid, Zorro and Davy Crockett were my heroes. I think you guys would also like The Edge, also with Anthony Hopkins. 🦊

I never would have thought of Zach Gallifinakis for Zorro! Brilliant casting! Inspired! 😂❤

I love you both so much right now! One of my absolute favorites!

I don't know where I must have started laughing, Jane who is almost choking while holding back laughter behind the camera or This image of Zorro in his bed...🛏️💃🤺 😂🤣😂🤣😂 The best intro Forever !! 😎👍

A lot of hispanic kids grew up pretending to b Zorro. Good to see Holden did too even as an adult. 😅😂

I have been in situations where I wanted my Wife to Love a Movie as much as Holden did here!!!!! I love that his inner 9 year old had him keep the mask on !!!!!!! Holden is Zorro !!!!!

That intro was godly haha

Montero didn't even bother to change the baby's name after stealing her. How arrogant does one have to be to do such a thing?? But I suppose in his own twisted way he loved her mother, so keeping her name was at least in some way a means to remember her. BUT, he would have to be supremely confident that Diego was actually dead and couldn't find out who she is.

Zorro, noble fop by day and masked adventurer by night, was first published in 1919. The Scarlet Pimpernel, noble fop by day and covert adventurer as the occasion required, was first published in 1905. John Carter of Mars, an immortal, mildly telepathic human who finds himself on Mars where he is comparatively super-strong, was first published in 1912. Whether Zorro counts as an early superhero depends on what traits define a superhero. He isn't the first hero with a double identity who hides his bravery under a meek facade. Certainly, he doesn't have superhuman powers. But neither John Carter nor Scarlet Pimpernel wore a mask to conceal their identities. So it's kind of a gray area as to who the "first" superhero might be.

Lmao at just your opening. Im Latino and not offended. Zorro is one of my favorite heroes of all time. You should seriously read the novela The Curse of Capistrano.

BEST into EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idc how y’all do it but hearing the laughter between the two of you is the reason to do this. Will we get a crazy Jen intro for one of her movies? I’d love to hear Holden snicker behind the camera while she tries to keep it together without laughing 🤣❤️

Yes! I’ve been waiting for you to watch this! I think I suggested this ages ago can’t remember when but I remember commenting it somewhere

This is amazing lol .. nothing else to be said 🙏🏼🔥

For several years Anthony Hopkins was in terrible pain due to a back injury. He underwent what he called "experimental back surgery" using lasers. Afterwards he was completely pain free for the first time in years. He was then offered the part of Zorro in this movie and he jumped at the chance to play an action hero, since he was feeling so good physically.

I couldn't click on this video fast enough. It's such an underrated movie, but it's filled with adventure, action,fun,and for those that are interested in it, even some romance.

I didn’t think anyone else loved this film as much as me, until I see my boy Holden mouthing “Don Raphael” and then mimicking that massive gulp the prison guard does after 😂

You should watch Robert Rodriguez's Mexico Trilogy, El Mariachi (1993), Desperado (1995), and Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003). In the first movie, a Mexican actor, Carlos Gallardo, played the character that was played by Antonio Banderas in the second and third movies.

I was just thinking you should follow this up with Zorro - The Gay Blade. Then you mentioned it. Also, I'm going to disagree about Zorro being the first superhero. I think that honour should go to the Scarlet Pimpernel. Zorro was influenced a lot by the Pimpernel Finally, this movie has the 3rd best sword fight in a movie - second best is the fight between the Dread Pirate Roberts (Wesl;ey) & Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. The best is the fight between Hubert Hawkins and Sir Ravenhurst in The Court Jester

Joaquin Murrieta who was a real historical figure, is widely believed to be the inspiration for the original literary character Zorro.

I'm a huge fan of Zorro and this movie is a masterpiece in my opinion!!!! Holden, another masterpiece is the movie Hook! If Jen hasn't seen it, I highly recommend it!!! Robin Williams is fantastic as an adult Peter Pan!

Bro! I'm Panamanian! My entire family is. Well, I'm American and speak zero Spanish, but LOVE that you know one of my ppl!

When it comes to this style of sword-fighting, i can comprehend on a practical level why you'd hold onto your sheath, or keep one arm out and away from your body. 1) it keeps the arm out of targeting range and 2) it can be used for balance. But that being said, I always found this more traditional style strange looking. It appears as though the combatants aren't really that comfortable. They look stiff and rigid. But still, practicality will keep you alive more than "looking cool" I suppose.

Definitely on my top 5 favorite movies!

I remember seeing this movie in the theater. What’s cool to me is that this film is a sequel to The Mark of Zorro (1940). Anthony Hopkins plays the Zorro from the older film and we catch him at the end of his career.

DAMN I kept trying to figure out where I knew Harrison Love's actor until the Reverse Flash popped up hahahaha

27:29 .....This very scene has been re-edited, changing the swords into lightsabers....... It's refreshing to see a lightsaber fight wit this style of fencing.......

Why does Zorro have a Kitana? 😂

Ahhhh. This was so funny Holden mouthing the lines 😂 Also here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 We love El Zorro 🦊

I like this background. The usual white one contrast too much with darker movies making the experience painful to watch.

Guys joke about how Ryan Reynolds makes them doubt if they are straight, that happens to me but with Antonio Banderas. Smoothest mf out there.

I did a spit take when I heard Holden mention "the gay blade"....imo George Hamilton's finest movie lol

Jen watching the famous clothes tear away scene "That was uncalled for" Every single heterosexuell male watching this scene for the first time " no this scene is necessary to the the movie"

Honestly 1998 was a big year for me theater wise. Theaters were just starting to transition into mega plexes or being closed down completely and newer digital sound was just getting introduced. This movie was right in that newer digital sound group. As was Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and The Matrix. A great 2 years for movies for me. '98 % '99.

My favorite part is the flirty fight between Zorro and Elena. But this movie as a whole is wonderful.

idk why but every 30 seconds of the video i would look at holden at just start laughing. Props to him for the amazing costume and decent accent ;)
