She beautiful 😍 and good movie ! 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇲🇽

Zorro is just one of those films that no matter how any times you watch it, its a really good film. This film has really great casting, direction and production.. Congratulations on reaching 10,000 subs

[@mateoairaudo5535]

I've been watching this movie since I was a little kid and I still think it's just a flawless movie. It holds up great, love the soundtrack, the performances, the action scenes... Everything.

[@LordVolkov]

"I warn you, I get another horse!" I love the humor in Mask of Zorro. It's such a fun movie from start to finish, and Zorro is a great character in every incarnation. I especially love his interactions with Tornado. Easily top 5 charming cinematic horses.

[@EScoglio]

Something I heard about Raphael figuring out Zorro's identity is because when Zorro sliced the Z into his throat, that was the first time they were actually that close to each other. So Raphael figuring out who Zorro really was, was easy for him.

[@kayreacts4763]

Hmm, interesting. So I guess it WAS his voice lol

[@EScoglio]

@@kayreacts4763 Impossible to NOT recognize a voice like that haha. Also, I always saw Alejandro drinking his brother's head juice was him drinking his brother's courage to help him ultimatelt defeat Love.

[@johnwjr7]

It was because of the way he called him "Raphael". At least that's what I always thought.

[@metuneminem84]

Finally someone!!! In fact, when they are face to face in that scene and Diego has the sword at his throat and tells him if he would sacrifice 3 men to catch him, it is clearly seen how Raphael lowers his head a little and changes his expression, as if he knew at that moment that It's about Diego de la Vega.

[@LLentium]

For me, this is Catherine Zeta-Jones's most memorable film. Michael Douglas saw her in this and wanted to marry her. Understandable. Solid action adventure film. If you want more Antonio, watch Desperado.

[@vanyadolly]

Honestly I think it's one of Antonio Hopkins' best performances too! He has a tendency to play pretty stoic, aloof characters. It was actually surprising how emotive he is in this one.

[@celinhabr1]

So underrated. Really fun movie! I also love the 1940 version The Mark of Zorro, with Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Basil Rathbone.

[@kayreacts4763]

I haven’t seen it. Perhaps I’ll have to check it out

[@dorukgolcu9191]

I also recommend, especially because it has one of the best sword duels in Hollywood history

[@vanyadolly]

Its curious how some big movies are almost completely forgotten over time. This was absolutely huge when it came out!

[@dorukgolcu9191]

@@vanyadolly this is true. It really threw me off to hear it described as underrated, it was *everywhere* when it came out

[@fionatsang9353]

Power vs Rathbone was possibly the best sword fight ever filmed! I'm also a big fan of the 1950's Disney tv series starring Guy Williams (the same fight choreographer as the 1940s film, a lot of things in the 90s film appear to be homages to the series)

[@a-top7090]

NO....FREAKING.....WAY! I love this movie so much. The action is amazing, the comedy is great, and the romance is cheesy (the good kind of cheese lol). Not alot of people reacted to this movie but thank the lord you did lol. Congratulations with 10k subs. You deserve it 👏

[@Bfdidc]

[@mateoairaudo5535]

One of my favourite movies ever, and one of the best action/adventure films in history. It never gets old. I still watch it at least once a year.

Love this movie and loved the old tv show. I used to sneak into the living room at midnight as a kid when Disney would play reruns of the 1950s show.

Congratulations Kay!!!

[@petermacdonough9077]

Thank you for posting this Kay!!! I finally got around to finish this. I remember seeing this when it originally came out and it was a BOX OFFICE SMASH!!! I was 12. 37 now. It even got nominated for 2 Academy Awards, which is really cool. Zorro is like the Latino version of Batman, which is really cool because the Zorro comics came out first before Batman did in the 1930s. I always LOVE watching your reviews and commentary and they take me away from the grueling training I do in the Army and escape into another world. Thank you for the video and I cant wait to see what you post later this year :)

[@keithbrown8490]

There is a 1920's silent version with Douglas Fairbanks Sr., the most famous is the 1940's version with Tyrone Power and the 1950's Disney TV version with Guy Williams who in the 60's played the Robinson father in the Lost In Space TV show. The 1940's version is my favorite and has many of the cast that was in the Errol Flynn 1938 Adventures of Robin Hood !

[@celinhabr1]

It's my favorite version too. About Errol, The Adventures of Robin Hood is great but i have a special place in my heart for him and Olivia again in Captain Blood.

[@fiddiehacked]

Zorro was a serialized novel first!

[@keithbrown8490]

@@fiddiehacked Right. I just brought up the movie versions. There was also 12 chapter movie serial Zorro's Fighting Legion I think that was the name for that it starred B movie actor Reed Hadley.

[@paintedjaguar]

@@keithbrown8490 There are several "Zorro" serials out there. In one of them, "Zorro's Black Whip", the costumed avenger is a woman, but I don't think there's any actual relation to Zorro outside of the costume. She's called "The Black Whip".

[@Rock-n-Rolla369]

So glad you reacted to this. I remember watching this 20 times on VHS.

[@Caseytify]

There were, and are, many white Spaniards. There was a certain "color awareness" at the time, with Spanish lineage nobility holding greater status than mestizos nobles. Hence a pale skinned daughter was not unreasonable. Zeta Jones is actually Welsh, but she did a good job here. At least Zorro was played by a latino actor. Fun Fact: someone (I forget who) actually kept the severed head of an outlaw in brandy. Truly an excellent movie.

[@lilbtyt7928]

[@jcastromex]

A heartfelt congratulations on reaching 10K Kay! The reason I chose to become a subscriber is because of your unique character and personality. I'm very glad that you continue to do these reactions and that you consider us loyal fans who want to see you to continue being successful on your channel. Always remember why you started your channel; the inspiration for it. It'll help you to achieve your next level of greatness - 25K, then 50K and beyond. Many reactors have said that they never thought that they would reach the 1K level. Those very same people are now in the 100K+ level of greatness. I'm in it for the long haul. I hope that you will continue on too. I also am a great lover of the swashbucklers. I've lost count on how many times I've watched "The Adventures of Robin Hood", The Scarlet Pimpernel" ('34) and those awesome "Pirates of the Caribbean" films. I'm also a great lover of Zorro, having watched the Disney series starring Guy Williams (1957-1961), and this film with Banderas & Sir Anthony Hopkins. I'm hoping that you would react to "The Sea Hawk" (1940) and "The Three Musketeers" (1973 version) in the future. Again, congratulations, and let's look forward to hitting the 20K mark by next year! 🎊🎉📽❤

[@fiddiehacked]

Fun Fact: The Mark of Zorro was the INAUGURAL film for United Artists! Also from wiki⤵️ Zorro made his debut in the 1919 novel The Curse of Capistrano, originally meant as a stand-alone story. However, the success of the 1920 film adaptation The Mark of Zorro starring Douglas Fairbanks convinced McCulley to write more Zorro stories for about four decades: the character was featured in a total of five serialized stories and 57 short stories, the last one appearing in print posthumously in 1959, the year after his death. The Curse of Capistrano eventually sold more than 50 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling books of all time. While the rest of McCulley's Zorro stories did not enjoy the same popularity, as most of them were never reprinted until the 21st century, the character also appears in over 40 films and in ten TV series, the most famous being the Disney-produced Zorro series of 1957-1959, starring Guy Williams.

[@moviefanatic22]

this movie is awesome! I've loved it when I was younger as well! well to be honest, I love any movie that has good sword fighting in it, regardless of what time period a movie takes place in, but this one is one of my favorites, a true classic! not to worry, I totally agree with everything you said during your outro, a movies' most important center piece should be the story, all the other details should be a second priority, so don't worry I wasn't offended by your opinion! I admit, I haven't seen this movie in so long as well, heck I can't even remember the last time I watched this! but, like you, it's been branded in my mind all these years later lol! really enjoyed this reaction, you're hilariously fun as always, big congrats at hitting 10K subs, well deserved! see ya next time👍👌👏😁

[@russellfarina9099]

A very vibrant and robust film with great action and wonderful humor. Your reaction brings it up a notch more, I think because of the love you have for this movie. You should react once every so often to films on your favorite list. Adds to the charm of your channel. Groovy reaction Kay!

[@Allison--]

I totally agree. Its one of my favorite movies ever too! Just recently rewatched it after so many years and its still great! No one has reacted to this movie, which I cannot believe, so I'm happy to see someone watch this with as much excitement and enthusiasm as I always feel when I watch The Mask of Zorro :)

[@KingOrest]

Never get tired of watching Zorro.

[@MichaelLee-tt7gm]

Bob Anderson (RIP), the sword master for this film, and MANY others, said Banderas was the most natural he'd ever worked with.

[@maingun07]

Banderas wasn't the only eye candy in this movie. And Catherine Zeta-Jones had absolutely nothing to do with me getting a cell phone a couple of years later. Nope. Nothing at all.

[@morningstar577]

The dance scene is one of my favorite scenes ever!

[@johnnyfive4436]

Also fun fact. In a lot of interpretations on Batman. It was Zorro that Bruce Wayne and his parents were watching the night they went to the movies and Thomas and Martha got shot. So yeah it's kind of cool how they blend in with each other. Zorro has the black horse and cave he goes into. Batman has a black car and cave he goes into. So it's pretty cool

[@user-cm7rl4fl3z]

Also, Zorro's parents were murdered in an ally... No shit.

[@marsgrey8964]

Cool reaction and totally agree with your opinion at the end.

[@IndyCrewInNYC]

Can't believe this incredible film is 25 years old! Time flies! I agree with you re how times have changed. I'm Hispanic and I don't care as long as my suspension of disbelief involves me in the characters and story. Best Zorro movie ever.🏅

mexico or california even has a lot of mexican actors that could be zorro. ive been wanting another zorro movie so bad as a Mexican. agree about the story. like a Mexican plays the new Lincoln lawyer and its good. i was looking forward to a supposed django x zorro movie by tarantino that i was 1000% open to.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

I used to watch this with my parents back in the day. They loved this film, and it's one that reminds me of the days when I still had them in my life...

[@paintedjaguar]

I do like this one, it's a lot of fun. Banderas is fine, Zeta-Jones is stunning, and the movie's well made. I'm afraid this Zorro is still #3 in my heart though, behind the Disney series' Guy Williams and Tyrone Power in "The Mark of Zorro". What's more, I believe Disney's 1952 live-action Robin Hood edges out Errol Flynn's 1939 version, better capturing the feel of the old folktales. Disney was just on a roll in the 50s, also putting out the classic "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" in 1954.

[@robbinsnest6163]

Guy Williams was my favorite zorro because I grew up with him as a kid and he is still great but when I saw this movie in middle school....Antonio stole my heart! 😍

Such a great film! Saw this in the cinema because the Phantom Menace trailer was playing before it. Glad I stayed as it's one of my favourite adventure films. Plus, it ended up being better than TPM.

[@chrispittman8854]

(Deadpool seeing that Francis got away) Ahhhhhh. "SINK ME! THE SCARLETT Puh puh puh PIMPERNEL!?!" (Please tell me you love "The Scarlett Pumpernickel" (Daffy) as well) "Zorro the Gay Blade" is now a "morale imperative," because they spoof "The Scarlett Pimpernel" in that as well, BUT... ""The Scarlett Pimpernel" (1982) Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymore. It's just beautiful. "So much for French fashion, and French politics."

18:40 That was Alejandro's old priest from the opening part of the movie

[@scottmoquin]

I watched this reaction with the close-caption on, and when you said "Welcome to Kayreacts" it spells it out as K rehacks. Found that amusing.

[@nabeelhasanzaidi1558]

Really underrated. Another one of the best acting by Sir Anthony Hopkins. Which reminds me, u should watch "Fracture." One of the best of his other underrated performance.

[@mateoairaudo5535]

Hopkins is always flawless. Have you seen his work in The Father? It just tears your soul apart.

[@Caseytify]

watched again, re: the remark about stormtrooper aim at the beginning. they were using smoothbore muskets. It would take a miracle to hit a moving target at that distance.

[@Montanakid1988]

I love 90’s movies because there wasn’t a lot of cgi. They built the sets, they used real props. They made a real effort and it shows

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Little Ms. Kay is exquisitely awkward, and I'm here for it. Even a movie I've never seen 🤷‍♂

[@kenashimame]

“Like Batman giving you a Batarang” Batman was based off Zorro, and it’s a Zorro movie that the Waynes went to see the night Bruce’s parents were murdered.

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

There are also VERY STRONG undertones of-COUNT OF MONTY CRISTO I thought, in the beginning, they are even both set in the...1800s. & aspects of the spaghetti westerns, of the 60s he ISNT supposed to be all that young, remember he tells his horse, "yes your getting too old for this, as am I. I agree about how his "sworn enemy" recognised him. I can only assume it was because he was seeing Zorro (the fox) close up & hearing his voice for the 1st time this is the best version of this character put on screen & as Banderas said this is the 1st time a Latin actor has played this part, plus all the story layers work together well, I liked the sense of a new younger Zorro was coming, the father son relationship, and that this was transitional America about to gain another State. its a...ballsy version that doesnt pull punches beautifully photographed, lots of sunsets, with orange & lemon colour palette as Mexican as Californian, great stunts (although over the top at times) well worth seeing.

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

I recently watched this movie when it was free on KZbin and for the first time, I spotted how Hopkins' Zorro got the injury in the beginning that gave him away. It was early in the fight when he set the trap door. Watch carefully and you'll see his left arm get scratch as he goes down the trap door. For the rest of the opening fight, you can see his costume torn and his arm bleed.

[@The_Dudester]

13:50 Who is this guy? He was a Mexican professional wrestler that used the name El Gigante at the time the movie was made.

[@BJ52091]

"Greatest movie ever made! Change my mind" Nah, I'm good. I agree: best movie ever! This movie is easily one of my favorites! A dashing swashbuckling romantic adventure, a hero transcending his own pain to make his life extraordinary, a beautiful damsel that’s not exactly in distress, a mysterious omnicompetent mentor, mustache-twirling villains, a quest for vengeance turned to a drive for justice…they don’t make them like this anymore.

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

you are 1000% right to say the STORY comes first, it is the bones/structure of it all & the point. one of the rare refreshing things about this film is that it is old school film making, yet with a modern daring ie severed head plus stunts that couldnt be done in 40s Zorro holly wood. another great example of old meets new is SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION where the STORY layers are most important, but they could also show the reality of prison life homosexuality, corruption etc, not possible in say BIRD MAN OF ALCATRAZ from...1960 I think

I watched this movie on opening night. I took my first girlfriend to see it. She fell in love with the dance sequence. It became a symbol of our love for each other. Of course like most first loves, we eventually went sperate ways. She passed away a few years ago now and I still think of her when I watch this movie. HIJKL

[@Artisan1979]

That part in the movie when Diego stumbles upon Esperanza's portrait, has me thinking that maybe Rafael stole it from the Hacienda before he brought it down. It's kind of creepy when you think that he painted the woman that his soldiers accidentally killed and his daughter he stole. However, I guess is in line with the DEPS. This guy will sink to get what he wants. So either he had it painted, or he stole it. But given the lateness is so exact, I think it was a present from Diego. Perhaps she sat for this. That frozen moment between he and the painting is the first time he has seen her face, I'll be at in painted format, and 20 years, and you can see the heartache. The life he wants had in life that was stolen from him by a jealous rival. Rotting in prison for 20 years because the man who should've been in jail himself 20 times over.

The 1940 "Zorro" set the bar and there have been several adaptations (should I put "The Batman" here...) worth a reaction, including this one. For a serious take, the ABC T.V. movie "The Mark of Zorro" (1974) has some amazing star power and for an almost "Airplane" level of fun, "Zorro the Gay Blade" (1981.) (SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!) "What do you think of THAT!?!" "I think it's a number 2 Sénior." "What do you MEAN it's a 2!?! "Can't you see it's plainly a 'Z!?!'"
