Dueling At The Mine | The Mask Of Zorro

[@Flamyll]

I'll never get over that start of the duel... Zorro reflecting the sun off the sword... Captain Love pulling his pistol questioning whether or not to just shoot him, then just tossing it aside.... this was a GRUDGE match through and through.... and it's one of the most beautifully crafted duels put to film. You feel every emotion in every clash of metal.

[@michaelbalance98]

That's because Captain Love wanted to defend his honor. Back in those days, or at least during the time of Alta California, bringing a gun to a sword fight was considered an act of cowardice, and every man of high status, known as caballeros used their skill with a blade to settle fights and prove themselves as men

[@reginaldfrempong6644]

01:58 And the beauty of Catherine Zeta Jones

[@myork8560]

Totally love this movie. And I agree with you 100%

[@thebandit0256]

Plus Alejandro has an score to settle with Captain Love

[@luisrizo8813]

02:44; genius...no cgi

[@jamespoledna2693]

Say what you want about Captain Love but he fought with honor. He could have killed Zorro easily with his gun. Yet he threw it aside to fight to the death with his sword!

[@007Fusiion]

Ego, too. And he’s also a sociopath that likes personal kills

[@dannyjack659]

If he shot Zorro then it would have bothered him for the rest of his life, plus he made it clear he loved the idea of a heroic fight to the death.

[@devilpupbear09]

He died a warriors death, the best any soldier can hope for

[@DeathBringer769]

I did find it funny how he tried to blow Zorro up though shortly afterwards instead of just sticking to the sword fight, lol.

[@ravenking2359]

Captain Love mentions how heroism is something to inspire to. And even he's head and hand in wine jars is apart of a warrior culture he adopted. He sees himself as a warrior and sees Zorro as a worthy rival

[@Montanakid1988]

The guy who played monterro was absolutely amazing. The acting, the fight choreography. Everyone gives praise to Antonio, Anthony and Catherine but the actors playing the villains did one hell of a job

[@robruss62]

Stuart Wilson- check out No Escape with Ray Liotta... He steals the show

[@DeathBringer769]

This was my favorite movie as a kid. That part where he draws his sword and the sun perfectly shines along it plus the sound effect kicking in at 2:40 was so damn epic. I used to rewind and replay that part on VHS over and over again, lol.

[@theguybehindyou4762]

Same. I was disappointed to later discover no other sword films came close. :/

[@vksasdgaming9472]

Only special effect needed was light and proper draw.

[@geoffreyedgson7875]

You developed good taste and an early age. Today, most sword fights in films have actors flailing their weapons out of range, not even close enough to actually tough, and painfully simple to evade. Back in these films, at least 10% of their choreography was somewhat real.

[@sammywestenberger9303]

Zorro: Jump!

[@taylorahern3755]

Nothing beats a vengeance fueled cinematic duel to the death! A common movie trope that if done right & superbly choreographed never gets old or loses an iota of sheer swashbuckling excitement (so long as different styles & techniques are employed to amazing effect!). And this scene featured quite the excellent & grudge driven swordfight to the death!

[@deathstroke3140]

2:43 beautiful moment where the sun reflected off his blade. If they did this scene 50 times, and one that last time the director saw that reflection and said, "Perfection."

[@matthewmuir8884]

Apparently it only took three takes to get the reflection correct.

[@sammywestenberger9303]

Captain 👨‍✈️ Love ❤️: Get Him!

[@medalion1390]

Apparently that was all down to Banderas, when they were setting up the shot he had noticed that his sword was catching the light if he got the right angle and he told the director that he could pretty much get that to happen every time.

[@diegodiaz6876]

1:26 That move is so badass🔥🔥🔥

[@charlessaint7926]

Legolas watches Zorro surfing on a shovel. "Noted."

[@sonofmovienerdking7230]

I'd be surprised if someone out there doesn't put this in the top 5 of their favorite sword fights.

[@Barricade379]

For the record, the sun reflecting of Zorro's sword is 100% real. No VFX there

Antonio Banderas es un Zorro espectacular 👌 hermoso , elegante y carismatico , una gran interpretación del famoso justiciero .

The real vengeance duel the moment we all waiting for

2:44 the absolute best part

This was and still is a great action movie.

[@hpa2005]

1:46 - and at that moment, Don Rafael Montero knew he was screwed

[@jonpowell4246]

Antonio made the best Zorro, Anthony Hopkins was positively masterful in his role as Diego Delavega and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Eliana was stunningly beautiful and depicted admirably. I'm so glad to own this movie.

[@leonardHughes-iq3wv]

Back I 1998 the old vhs wasn't working when they first came out on vhs.

[@Leftysfive93]

Antonio Banderas made the best Zorro.

[@1014p]

Wasn’t he the only one? If there is an old movie I haven’t seen it pop up even when this came out. That was cable/satelite tv era. So some channel would have shown it.

[@Sgtturtle22]

He is zorro

[@patrickwheatley2693]

@@1014p Tyrone Power played Zorro in 1940. Not as flashy as the Banderas remake, but not necessarily a bad film either. Also, if you're into Batman, it was the Power version of Zorro that was the last film young Bruce Wayne saw with his parents.

[@rommel9241]

Yes of course

[@wowwow7959]

And Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power, Guy Williams, Alain Delon

[@devilpupbear09]

I love a good old fashioned Revenge Flick

[@animequeendrawer]

Man! Can you imagine the sweat Antonio Banderas is building while playing this scene. Cuz I remember how when I visit my dad in Florida it is so hot in the summer time! And it isn’t even 10 yet! Light color absorb less light from the heat of the sun. But in colors that are dark like black you are a walking magnet for the sun!

[@joshuapatrick682]

man this film single handedly saved the summer blockbuster and was a the only beacon of hope during the dark age of film.

[@liamcoyne2137]

Way better than the sequel

[@kreion]

I saw a video where they said that the shine at 2:43 was real and everyone behind the camera was amazed that it happened !

He did it on the third take.

[@mauriciobarretoazevedo9506]

Best moment at 1:33 at the theaters I remember everybody chanting Zorro Zorro Zorro !

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

They did?? How was it??

[@therealmistahjay]

That didn’t happen. Stop lying. 😂

[@freaker126]

I never realized how heroes in every movie always use improvisation. And the enemy always never expected it. :p

[@sassbrat]

The thing is for Zorro is that he used tricks and sleath which is perfect since Zorro is the Spanish word for fox. Everyone knows that foxes are quick on their feet, cunning and sly.

Back in tha Day where a Movie didn't have to be a *Billion Dollar* Blockbuster. It was a passion peace strictly judged on Acting & Action.

His sword glistened in the light as he drew it forth.

I got to see this movie in theaters when it came out , still one of my favorites to watch! ❤

[@olivierbaghdadi]

Captain Love? More like Captain Hate if you ask me.

[@GenerallyTyler]

More like Captain Reverse-Flash

through the entire first part of this, with all the moving machine parts, Im imagining Edna Mode going "No Capes~!"

[@juanlaise1059]

3:35 When he is kicked down, that's definately a stunt double.

[@WindyREDPanda]

2:40 I wonder how many Takes it took to make that shine perfect on Camera.

[@XanderVJ]

From what I heard... A LOT.

[@Stuart3188]

I saw somewhere that not only is it 100% practical, no special effects, but it only took three takes for Banderas to do it!

[@WindyREDPanda]

@@Stuart3188 if it took 3 takes that certainly would be impressive.

[@kgunitkeese17]

@@WindyREDPanda If I'm not mistaken, Antonio Banderas did the take three times and two of those attempts he got it perfect.

I love that a majority of everyone commenting on the sun reflection off his sword! For it being such an epic moment in the scene that just stuck with us as kids.

According to the director on behind-the-scenes, Antonio Banderas saw he could catch the light when he drew his sword and insisted they do the take five or six times so he could catch it perfectly 😆😆

[@benkopczynski2190]

The sun move is so cool, but probably super confusing for Captain Love. "Why is he holding his sword at that angle? Is he reflecting light two feet to my right? What's going on here?"

[@thecowboy9698]

I was found Montero's death ironic. It's evident he was greedy and self-serving, and in the end its the thing that proved his undoing. Btw, that revolver that Captain Love draws before discarding it, that's a Colt Navy revolver, yet the 2nd half of the film is set in the early 1840s, and I though the Colt Navy was developed sometime in the 1850s - seeing a lot of use during the Civil War, alongside its Counterpart - the Remington; the latter I believe was largely used by Confederate soldiers.

[@andresmora5192]

El Zorro is like the Mexican 🇲🇽 Batman. He has an alter ego, his other me is Don Diego De La Vega, aristocrat, Novohispano-Mexican, from Mexican California, who lived in Los Angeles, during the Mexican era. While Don Diego keeps the personality of a millionaire, arrogant, carefree man, El Zorro, is altruistic, helps the most vulnerable, persecutes criminals, always seeks justice.
