I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I don't remember much about this show, except that my dad is a Zorro fan, so we used to watch this when I was all of four or five. I remember it featured the hot Mexican lady from Three Amigos. There was a bumbling fat guy who looked sort of like a Latino Oliver Hardy. He was naturally the comic relief. I think there was a deaf kid who was sort of Zorro's sidekick. I think the episodes usually culminated in some impressive fencing. I thought the Zorro costume was pretty cool. I believe the theme song was the generic late-80s theme song they used on every action pack show at this time, that kind of passionate hair-metal-meets-orchestral-score music, except it had sort of a Hispanic flavor to it.Like I said, I have great memories of sitting on my dad's lap watching this show, along with Rifleman and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Unfortunately, at some point there was a scheduling conflict wherein they started showing ST:TNG at the same time they were showing this, so usually we opted for the latter. Had we known TNG would still be showing in reruns fifteen years later, while Zorro would die a quiet death and never be heard from again, I suppose we would have rethought our decision. But you know what they say about hindsight.

This is a wonderful version of Zorro! In this series, Diego de la Vega, played by the classy and intelligent Duncan Regehr, is a Renaissance man - artist, poet, scientist, and scholar. Fine actors Efrem Zimbalist Jr.,and Henry Darrow both portray Diego's father, Alejandro de la Vega. Injustice in old California inspires Diego to become El Zorro (The Fox). He battles numerous villains as well as the tyranny of two alcaldes (Michael Tylo and John Hertzler), and is halfheartedly pursued by the funny and lovable Sergeant Mendoza (James Victor), who obviously admires his superiors' nemesis. The fight scenes and the fencing are fun and fascinating to watch! There's a cute sidekick for Diego, his mute but not really deaf servant boy, Felipe, (Juan Diego Botto), a junior Zorro in training. Diego and Felipe have a great batcave, where they develop scientific experiments designed to aid the mission for honor and truth. Zorro has a gorgeous Andalusian stallion, Toronado, with intelligence and personality.Enchanting and fiery Victoria Escalante, the local tavern owner. is in love with Zorro, and regards handsome but bland Diego as a kind friend. Diego's angst and desire for Victoria render Zorro - despite his super swordplay and heroic qualities - very human. Love for the beautiful Victoria is the fuel which feeds Zorro's passionate fire. Que lastima! Diego sees her every day and can't tell her who he really is. She looks for Zorro around every corner, and doesn't have a clue that he is right there in her tavern eating her tortilla soup! Figuring out how to solve this troublesome triangle is Zorro's most difficult dilemma. The acting is excellent, with Duncan Regehr bringing panache, mystery, humor, and excitement to the Zorro part. In real life, Mr. Regehr is also a highly gifted artist - talents he draws upon with fine result. (Look carefully in Zorro's cave, and you'll see some of Regehr's artwork on the walls!) Guy Williams was terrific, but Duncan Regehr is the best Zorro ever! Patrice Martinez is a lovely and appealing Victoria, an excellent match for this hero. They really set this show apart, and create one of the most memorable romantic couples on TV.Even though underrated, it's one of the best television series ever, a great family show - enjoyable for both kids and adults. Values such as true love, justice, honor, faith, family, respect, kindness and loyalty are held to firmly. (Good music, too.) Don't miss it!!!

I began watching this installment of Zorro when I was about 10. I hadn't discovered superheroes or even comic books yet (shocking, I know) and to me, Don Diego was the coolest character on TV. He was Batman, he was Daredevil, he was the virtuous good guy without superpowers who valiantly fought against insurmountable odds, hoping to rid his home of evil. He did this week after week, and it was glorious. He used his intelligence, his wits, and had luck on his side. Also, there was emotion behind the characters. I loved the last few episodes (where he fought his long lost twin brother) and I also loved the episode in which Adam West guest-starred, and as Bruce Wayne's great-great grandfather, no less ! If you ever have a chance to watch this show, take it. You won't be disappointed.
