OG Zorro trains NEWBIE Zorro (The Mask of Zorro Best Scenes) 🌀 4K 

Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

I love that essentially Banderas continues his role as Zorro in Puss in Boots/Shrek.

"Pointy end goes into the other man." is still one of my favourite lines.

4:27 "Perfect. Now do it again." Only Sir Hopkins can deliver that line with patient disdain!😂

The Batman Beyond of the Zorro-verse

One thing I loved about this Zorro is that he was able to hold his own against superior opponents. Like there wasn’t a “oh he has to lose the first fight to show he still needs training”. I liked that he is so well versed in everything the Original taught him with his own skills that he became the superior fighter

8:25 Banderas' stunt double deserves so much credit for this sequence. It's really incredible.

Id forgotten how good the sword choreography was

3:45 Hopkins posture is magnificent... This movie was perfect in everything.

Banderas really was flawless casting for Zorro. Doesn't get better. Shame what happened to his career later but this was just perfection. And Catherine Zeta Jones on top of it.. just a straight dime in her prime.

Late 90s and early 2000's was such a delicious period of films. Maybe it was shot on film or the writers paced themselves and were not worried about carrying universes and told 'stories'. Or maybe it was the time where my young mind was fertilized with these amazing movies. But I still feel this period had a certain charm that maybe missing in today's production.

Note the soundtrack, it's moving at an increased tempo as he's stood on the table surrounded by men, It's a perfect description of his desperation, he can't go slow, he's not in training anymore, also note that the table is round, as in the circle he trained in, he fights only the men in the circle, as nothing outside it exists, until Captain love enters his circle. Even then he isn't driven by revenge, he remain calm choosing not to act in anger and try his chance at revenge. Wonderfully written.

The moment at 6:09 is just so great. It's perfect, because Alejandro has EARNED it. He's confronting the man he hates more than anything, yet he is keeping his composure. He's not the rage-filled criminal lunging at the man with no plan or skill, he's confronting an adversary the way ZORRO would: with style and self-control. And a bit of swash-buckling swagger added in. And because we have seen his struggle, his training, forcing him to face himself and do what he must not for his own pride but because it is RIGHT. Now, he truly is the bold renegade who carves the "Z" with his blade.

I remember seeing this movie in theaters as a little kid… It had such an impact on me… I am 33 now and it is still in my top 10… Great movie, great soundtrack, great acting… Such a fun movie for the whole family

"the pointy thing goes into the other man"... lol ....I'm laughing too much...my face hurts😂

3:45 is still one of the funniest things I’ve seen

You can't help but smile during these sequences. The choreography and music is just flawless.

Hopkins at 3:46.....every fencing instructor with a brand new student.

Catherine was a Goddess back then

De la Vega really knows how to turn a savage into gentle and righteous.

I loved this movie. Banderas and Hopkins was perfect casting.

I must have watched this movie a thousand times as a kid. Love it.

"you know how to use that thing?" "Yeah, pointy end goes into the other man."

I really appreciate this mentorship relationship the two had. Banderas' character didn't look down on his mentor for being old or harsh on him, and Hopkins' character didn't hesitate to chide his young charge for foolishness, but also respected and congratulated his improvements.

To talk about something a bit different from the rest of the comments: 5:40 When Alejandro asks "What's lesson number 3?", and don Diego says "To get to lesson number 4", the way Alejandro rolls his eyes is just perfect. He's saying without words "Ok, Ok, I get it. Just be patient. Geez". It shows that he may be inexperience, but that doesn't mean he's slow witted. Plus, it's just low-key hilarious to boot. Small but brilliant piece of acting from Banderas.

I love the father son dynamic with Anthony cutting his hair

I love how when Diego and Alejandro first met Diego expresses concern and doubt for Alejandro citing that due to his lack of training aswell as drunken state he was in no condition to challenge a seasoned soldier like Love and would've died then and there had Diego not intervened, but once he received proper training aswell a few combat experiences prior, when they finally came face to face in the Hacienda, Alejandro smoked Love like he was nothing

I love how, even as an old man, Montero is absolutely a fighter Zorro can't take at this time. Really adds some weight to him as a villain.

If this was Disney, Antonio would've shown he needs no mentor and be awesome without any effort.

Hopkins is perfect. I didn’t appreciate him when I was younger but now I see he is a master

I remember when I saw this in the theater, the audience cheered at the end! I wasn't expecting that!

This was such a good movie. All of the actors fit their roles so well. I haven't seen it in a long. Need to watch this one again with my kids.

This movie is aging like the finest of wines. Going to watch it with my kids soon.

I feel like an assassins creed game could’ve been based around this

This is like my favorite action adventure mocie. No CGI, all practical. Everything you need is in one film with a clear beginning, middle and end.

Saw this in theaters. Catherine made quite the impression. Audience loved her and the rest of the film.

It's a strange coincidence that Antonio Banderas, Frank Lengello and George Hamilton all played a vampire and Zorro.

It never ceases to amaze me how Anthony Hopkins can emote so much thought, nuance, contemplation, pain, and whole pages of internal monologue with just the slightest of pauses mid-sentence.

2:47 "This is called a training circle. The Master's Wheel. This circle will be your world. Your whole life ". The training circle represented here is an actual historical sword training method / school. Well done ladies and gentlemen!

Such a good film. Were it not for the Lord of the Rings trilogy of the 2000s, I'd happily call the 90s the greatest decade ever for movies 😊

The Mask of Zorro will always hold a special place in My childhood

This is the perfect Batman Beyond movie plot. Edit: Holy shit, The Mask of Zorro was released in 1998 and Batman Beyond first aired in late 1999. Batman Beyond might have straight up stolen the plot from The Mask of Zorro!

8:31 the music is perfect here. I watched this movie in the theater with two friends and during this scene, and many others, the audience was cheering.

I've said it dozens of times before, but the choreography and stunts were exemplary in this film. 💪😎✌️

Such a great adventure movie. Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta Jones and the villains were brilliant.

Every supervisor to a newbie "this is going to take a lot of work" in the exact same tone

One of the best training montages

I can't help but see so many similarities of Batman in Zorro... master of close combat, protects his identitiy at all cost, all black, has strict code, valuing swiftness over strenght, and if I'm not mistaken he was pretty intelligent and knowledgable about chemistry? I've wateched the show 23 years ago or something.

Forgot how goddamn fantastic the action combat and choreography was in this film

I was 10 years old when i saw this in the movies, became my favorite movie instantly

The fight choreography in this film was a thing of beauty...

I miss these kinds of heroes. No powers, no supernatural whatevers. a simple man training to be the best he can.

This brings back memories, my grandparents took me to see this. At the cinema.

This might not have been the best Zorro movie ever, but darn it was a LOT of fun to watch. And I have to believe that it helped Antonio Banderas's career to be part of such a fun movie.

The best “training an apprentice” sequence since Obi-Wan and Yoda took up the task with Luke. Quickly and clearly establishing the master’s mastery without bluster or any need to humiliate the pupil. Correction and positive reinforcement doled out in equal measure and when warranted. Zero self-aggrandizement by the mentor, whether by a drawn-out display of superior skill or droning lectures on how and why the pupil doesn’t get it or isn’t ready. And no “break you down to build you up” bullshit whilst training a singular, skilled combatant, given that those training methods are designed to psychologically condition cannon fodder to hold the line without question in the face of certain death. Just a masterful demonstration of mentorship where the mentor is as exacting as he needs to be while allowing his charge to feel pride in his own growth and share in his mentor’s pride as he’s forged into a weapon that can right two generations’ worth of wrongs. A worthy example for any age.

2:58 i use the same mindset for when i sleep in my room It works pretty good

Underrated movie in my opinion

ahh zorro, the batman of ancient mexico

Really smart sound design. The sound of the sword clashes at 3:53 sound realistic are a bit dull (no pun intended) but I guess more realistic. Later at 5:46, the swords sound way different. It's less realistic, sure, but il also symbolizes the mastery newbie Zorro has gained

"The much debated Zorro." "No. The *legendary* Zorro." One of the best movie comebacks of all time.

The only thing that can overcome hard work, a great work ethic and sheer inner strength, all taking years and years of practice to achieve? TRAINING MONTAGE.

👌💪10! BEST ZORRO EVER!👍👍

6:30 just LOVE that face a real shocker. 🤪

05:30 "you are to good looking to retire"

One of the best films ever made of a legend

"This is the training circle. The Masters wheel.."

9:34 I literally shouted “Damn!”….

The real "Batman origin story".

An Asassins Creed game with the fox would be nice, it gives me those vibes

RW:@0:24 if ive learned anything from this movie is that when he poses with his horse like poses like that at the sun ,that meant his final ride

I really enjoyed this movie! Watching the first part of this scene again though, both he and the horse would have been pretty wrecked with him dropping 20+ feet onto its back!😄

This is my favorite scene in the movie where Diego teaches Alejandro to become the next Zorro the traing it takes to wield a sword correctly & I'm a huge sucker for swords.

At 4:48 I think it should be "One, five, four". Zorro ends with a parade in quarte, not tierce. And in the next it should be "Six, three, two".

I loved that he got rid of those two henchmens just to give the captain a fair fight he always wanted

This and Brendan Fraser's The Mummy are peak 90's feel good, put a smile on your face, action movies.

I like how Zorro uses the table as his advantage, reminiscent of his training with the circles.

"The smell of resined leather The steely iron mask As you cut and thrust and parried At the fencing master's call He taught you all he ever knew To fear no mortal man And now you'll wreak your vengeance In the screams of evil men"

6:48 Captain Love's expression here is hilarious. Almost forgets Zorro is there. Just a look of, "are you two stupid? How do you not understand what he's saying?" Also love the two different fighting styles between Raphael and the Captain. I don't mean saber vs rapier. I mean Love is cool and methodic, even seems to enjoy himself a little. By contrast, Raphael is fighting with savagery - this is a ghost from his past he thought long dead! He's almost attacking in places as if using a long or at least arming sword- hard cutting strikes. 8:09 And now Captain Love start realizing this "ghost" may be more than he expected.

I haven’t seen this movie in years and I just stumbled on this clip but now I want to check it out again. In an era where films are so overproduced and contain so much CGI I have learned to appreciate practical effects and good choreography.

I remember seeing this moving in theaters with my girlfriend. Still love it to this day.

Do you know what I like from old movies like these? The Character Development! The MC basically have to train themselves to reach this level of mastery, not like the movies nowadays where the mc already a master at everything

3:45 *zip zip zip zip zip* 3:46 CLANK

This is a great training scene, because the original Zorro does praise his trainee from the very start. Too many training scenes in more modern movies fall into the trap of showing the trainee being completely and laughably hopeless at the beginning of the sequence.

A true teacher's the one who's proud of being over-skilled.

2:33 At least he knew to stick 'em with the pointy end 🤣🤣🤣🤣

9:35 Yes. It's legendary.

8:31 Never attack an enemy that occupies the High Ground

Late 90s early 00s movies had something else that most movie do not have today

5:00 - I love how he knows his student is going to have his daily stupid outburst and braces himself for it xD

3:36 When you step into Multiplayer for the first time.

Anthony role in zorro was far superior than any marvel films he’s been in and that’s the fact Jack.

love that he got a nice shave just to fight

Antonio Banderas was amazing in the movie,it was good to hear he did some of his own stunts,I hear they r doing a new zorro movie ,but not with mr banderas….wouldn’t be the same without him

Amazing how Antonio Banderas went through all this training to become Puss in Boots

1:46 Alejandro is so instantly ready for Zorro to just merc the guy.

This is what you got when you hired Bob Anderson. Pure poetry, just incredible work.

How did you know this is the best sequence from the best movie with the three best actors from the best film production house?

I love how I literally grew up on this movie. I was zoro three times for halloween. Now as a grown ass man with kids, I still love it 🤣 Cant wait to introduce my daughter to 😶‍🌫Delavega

Syrio Forel watching Zorro and taking notes... Stick'em with the Pointy end and... got it!

The scene of the horse rearing is incredible, the music to.
