After being imprisoned for 20 years, Zorro -- Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins) -- receives word that his old enemy, Don Rafael Montero (Stuart Wilson), has returned. Don Diego escapes and returns to his old headquarters, where he trains aimless drunk Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas) to be his successor. Meanwhile, Montero -- who has secretly raised Diego's daughter, Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones), as his own -- hatches a plot to rob California of its gold.

I just thought about the same thing you said! He’s a live action puss in boots!
I recently rewatched this and the sequel , both are great films
And here’s some films that I highly recommend
“Mighty Joe Young 1998”
“Speed 1994”
“Deep rising 1998”
“Congo 1995”
“Godzilla 1998”
“Tomb Raider 2018”
“Uncharted 2022”
“Snake Eyes G.I Joe Origins”
“G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra”
“G.I . Joe Retaliation”
Puss in Boots was based off of Zorro. The original fables of Puss in Boots do date back to before Zorro, but the version of him in the Shrek movies is VASTLY different from the original. When they were making Shrek 2, it's clear that they already had Antonio Banderas for the role and based him off of Zorro as a joke to the audience.
It’s interesting that what started as a clever joke eventually became equal to what it was parodying and far greater than the original fairy tale.
@@DrRush-ow4qg Exactly! I heard the original French/Italian fairy tale and it kinda sucked. But the version specifically in The Last Wish is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It still hasn't beat out the original Zorro, but it is on the same level.
To be honest, I prefer the Dreamworks version of Puss
What I think this film absolutely nails is Alejandro's character development. We see the seeds planted with him admiring Zorro as a kid, to him being a drunken thief, a gifted but cocky rookie, a charming spy, and finally a hero of the people.
One of my favorite bits from this film is when he gets pissed off at Diego for trying to get Elena back instead of helping the people.
"What about California? What about the people?!"
"They still have Zorro."
Alejandro has come full circle, he finally puts the people over himself. Diego even sees this and knows he's now officially Zorro.
I swear this movie has that feeling like you're seeing it for the very first time all over again
The reason why there are so many similarities between Zorro and batman is because batman was very largely inspired by Zorro. There are many references to Zorro in batman media like the animated series.
While we're at it, Timothee? Should you ever get to silent films en masse, add The Man Who Laughs to the short list.
I love how you’ve called it LIVE ACTION ‘Puss in Boots’ when it was perhaps the other way around in the cinematic timeline lol
Agreed. This 1998 adventure pretty much helped set the stage for DreamWorks’ take on the sword-wielding feline.
27:22 OMG it’s THAT scene. Timothée’s mind is heading from innocent to ‘spirited’.
I remember having great fun watching this movie. Also, Catherine Zeta-Jones (who is not a Latina) and Antonio Banderas have such electric chemistry 🔥
You point out that Catherine Zeta-Jones isn’t Latina. Did you know Antonio Banderas isn’t Latino either, he’s from Spain
@@crimsonknight7011 we, the Spanish, are a true Latino people. The Americans from countries with Latino languages only have Latino ancestors. Antonio Banderas is a true Latino precisely because he was born in Spain.
I’m wrong then. I was under the impression that Latino was for people from Latin America. My bad then and I apologize
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Born in Swansea, Wales actually has Welsh (British), Irish and Spanish ancestry.
@@WalesTheTrueBritons Interesting.
This is how Zorro should be, a mixture of humour, action and fun.
The problem here is that these days most actors are not willing to do the training necessary. The acrobatics, the fencing and everything? Even if you have stuntmen, they still have to do a lot by themselves.
It also needs teachers that know what they are doing. An unsung hero of Hollywood was Robert James Gilbert Anderson (1922-1912) who did the fight choreography for movies like Highlander (1986), The Three Musketeers (1993), The Princess Bride (1987), The Mask of Zorro (1998), The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003), and James Bond: Die Another Day (2002) and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). He was also Darth Vader during the lightsaber fight scenes in Star Wars A new hope, The Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi. He also worked as an actor and stunt coordinator. He was often uncredited for his work.
Bob Anderson was first hired in 1953 as stunt double for Errol Flynn in "The Master of Ballantrae". In training he hurt Flynn. Although the actor admitted it was his own fault, Anderson was called "The Man who stabbed Errol Flynn."
Wanna know why Antonio Banderas got a career in action and comedy in the early 2000...This movie and Desperado from Robert Rodriguez ( which i highly recommends), the mexican John Wick. Just so much fun ! Saw it in theater in my youth, its still holds up so much !
Apart from Spy kids, this was my first introduction to Antonio Banderas. Zorro is just another character that he played amazingly.
Zorro has always been one of my favorite characters of all time, whether it played by both of these great actors, or by Guy Williams on the old Disney series. Even Tyrone Powers did him well. Did you know that the idea for Batman was based on the old Zorro novels and movies?
Without Zorro, DreamWorks’ take on Puss In Boots would never even exist to begin with. Perhaps that explains why they chose Antonio Banderas for the role after this 1998 classic.
A whole lot of modern popular fictional heros trace back to the original Zorro stories (way before this Antonio Bandera movie)
Batman for instance is a retake of the Zorro story (and in many versions his parents are killed while out to see a Zorro film)
And in other inspiration trivia, this movie is kinda retelling The Count of Monte Cristo as a Zorro story.
The Mask of Zorro is one of the best movie experiences I've ever had. So much so, I saw it twice in theaters. Though it may seem like a comedy, its really a hybrid. It has drama, romance, action, suspense, and a great revenge story (for both Zorro's). Easily one of my top favorite blockbuster movies!
Funny I just recently watched this on Netflix, great reaction dude. Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas are really good actors
This movie is a classic. We need more pulp fiction stories in movies like Zorro, Django unchained and the legend of Tarzan.
Zorro is my favourite hero he definitely deserves a come back also Tarzan already got a pretty good movie to date.
Joaquín Murrieta was a historical figure. A kind of Mexican Robin Hood. It is also true that his head was displayed throughout California after his death. He had 24 then. It's also true that one of his partners was called Jack Three Fingers. There is a movie about him starring Jeffrey Hunter in 1965.
One of the best superhero movies of 90s, Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins as the 2 Zorros was phenomenals and extraordinaries.
This is one of my ALL time favourite movies!! So happy to see you react to this!
A really great movie. The sequel is also good. You should also see The Count Of Monte Cristo 2002 and Rob Roy 1995.
I saw this film in theaters with my grandma and my mom when I was 18 years old in that year 1998 and now in my 42 I still love this classic The Mask of Zorro starring Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The music video of the film is the song "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You" single by Marc Anthony and Tina Arena. Thank you Timothee great reaction excellent and don't forget reacts the sequel The Legend of Zorro
THIS IS in my TOP5 favorite movies of all time. It's nice to see people still appreciating it!!
30:19 Actually Antonio Banderas did the stunts himself. He was apparently very adamant about it, because he wanted it to be as authentic as possible.
Mask of Zorro was my childhood hero movie actually my first hero before Batman. I love the story and the action it felt very natural. Thanks for reacting to this film. Finally someone recognizes this film. Thanks again!!
Of course Zorro is, he’s who Puss in Boots was heavily based on/parodied, even the actor here is the same.
Such a fantastic movie! Always a favorite growing up. I always loved Zorro, even named my first car Tornado after Zorro's horse. It was his steed, my car was my steed, so I name it that.
Wearing a black plastic bag with holes for eyes and being chased by friends was a thing in my childhood (I'm a mid-90's boy)! This was the thing those days. I'm very glad that you had fun watching this!
this movie is so much fun, seen it so many times, Antonio Banderas brings the energy, Catherine-Zeta Jones is at her most beautiful, Anthony Hopkins with the top class acting chops, the 3 of them all charming, the villains work perfectly, everybody got a lot of charisma, really well done :)
So I'm pretty sure when they cast Banderas as Puss in Boots they did it because of Zorro
this is such an underrated film though, Zorro being an iconic comic character spanning over a century. Charming and swashbuckling, a lot of what Zorro did also set the template for Batman (in fact, in some origins the movie young Bruce watches before his parents are killed is a Zorro movie), Banderas is perfect for the role too, and it is a nice little origin/passing of the torch movie. Particularly like the music they play when Zorro stabs Captain Love too
Fun fact: Banderas trained with the Spanish Olympic Fencing team for four months to prep for Zorro, he also trained with Bob Anderson, who had trained Errol Flynn (another legendary swashbuckling actor), who called him the most gifted swordsman he's trained since Flynn.
I grew up with this movie. My aunt had it on a cassette. I'd watch it every time I visited her.
Obviously Antonio was chosen for Puss in boots, because of this. Heck Puss was inspired by Zorro. It's a crime that more people don't know this movie.
I think because of this movie people keep thinking that Antonio Banderas is from Mexico, but he’s actually from Spain. I mean Puss in Boots reminds me a lot of a Spanish musketeer with the boots and feather in the hat
"mission" is actually what some priests called their place of worship. I don't know how it differs from a church but it still is a place of worship.
So Odin trained and mentored Puss in Boots. Imagine Puss vs Zorro?
puss vs zorro for sure!
I second that. Odin mentored Puss, so I’d like to see…
Zorro VS Gato En Botas.
“Mambo Kings” is a fun movie from early in Antonio’s career. Was his first English speaking role, and the story I’ve always heard was that he didn’t really speak it yet and learned his lines phonetically.
I would definitely recommend reacting to "Desperado", which was released in 1995 and was the first starring role for Antonio Banderas and it also co-starred Salma Hayek. It's a great and fun action film and Banderas did great in the lead role.
Antonio Banderras is One of my Favorite Actors with this Charm that’s Impossible To Not Love and Captures a Young Spirit no Matter Who Old He Get,Love His Zorro Movies that’s One of the Reasons Why Dreamworks developed both the Character and Actor on Puss in Boots,Mask of Zorro is One of my Favorites Movies with a Tragedy that might Inpired TMNT 2012,My Favorite Version of The Turtles,The Characters are As Amazing as the Cast,the Villains Don Rafael and Captain Love(The Best Reverse Flash) are Menacing and Evil,The Action is Fun,and the Story is a Blast,10 out of 10,Can’t Wait to talk about the Sequel.
Everyone relates Antonio Banderas to Zorro, but the truth is Diego de la Vega, the actual Zorro, is Anthony Hopkins, Antonio played the "mantle boy" in this movie
Banderas casting as Puss was deliberate haha
Also I just watched The Last Wish yesterday, and damn Antonio Banderas' voice barely changed in the last 25 years! It's like he sounds the same as here
This is a great movie. I'm glad you reacted to it. My dad showed this to me a couple years ago
So glad that you reacted to this movie. It has the perfect blend of action and humor, while making it feel natural. You can tell that the movie doesn’t need to stop for a humorous moment to relieve tension. If only Disney/Star War could’ve taken notes from this movie. This could’ve taught them how to do a proper ‘passing of the torch’ type of story.
If I remember correctly, the princess bride made a spoof of zorro for Wesley as a dress pirate 🏴☠️ Robert’s.
Hurray, you are finally watching this!!! I love this movie!
I rewatched it last year because I remembered some of it as a kid. It's a cool movie and my favourite older movies, especially Zoro as a character and the actor.
Sir Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas doing Physical Comedy is PEAK CINEMA.
Hello, Timothee!!! I can't even tell you how happy I am that you chose to react to this movie, it's one of my favorite movies from my childhood! I love Zorro, and Antonio Banderas absolutely slays in the role of Alejandro Murrieta/Zorro. I also love the character development he gets throughout the movie, and his chemistry together with Catherine Zeta-Jones is red-hot and fiery! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Anthony Hopkins also has a great character arc too, and I also love how you chose to wear a black button-up shirt for the occasion. Very dashing, just like the title protagonist. Whether it's as Zorro or Puss In Boots, Antonio Banderas excels in every role he plays! 😁😁
My parents used to have the movie on VHS and it was always our movie to watch during family movie night.
Trick riding has been done for ages, it's incredibly cool to watch
The 1957 Zorro TV series with Guy Williams as Zorro is great to watch. Disney+ has it. Gene Sheldon plays Bernardo his servant who pretends to be deaf and mute but is only mute so he can spy for Zorro. Another Zorro film to check out is the 1981 movie “Zorro: The Gay Blade”. It stars George Hamilton as Zorro/Don Diego and his twin brother Ramon. It’ll give you a good laugh.
MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing 90's movie
James Horner composition, in his prime.
34:06 That scene ALWAYS gives me chills! The two men standing off in a final battle, the low flute timing perfectly with the sun glistening off Zorro's sword, MM! 👌👌 Absolutely amazing! Also, did you know, Antonio Banderas actually did that sun glistening himself! He had been practicing beforehand and when they shot the scene, took about four tries to do it and he got it perfectly.
2:33 Dye was expensive. Especially purple though we see no purple here, that's why purple was reserved for royalty only.
I’m totally on board with Timothée: Swashbuckling adventures need to become cool again.
The Mission that the Father was talking about is a church.
Love you for seeing this movie Tim! I saw it as a kid and it’s stuck with me forever.
Antonio Banderas is spectacular. You want more of him, in something that's much more dramatic, go for The Thirteenth Warrior!
Diego and Alejandro’s Zorro Outfits are actually VERY different when you look closely. Diego’s reflects his Spanish Heritage (Metal Clasp, European style Hat, Gloves that Flare out, and Heeled Boots) while Alejandro’s reflects his Mexican Nationality (Open Shirt, Tribal Design on the Hat, Thinner Gloves and Cowboy Stirrups on the Boots).
This is the most fun I’ve ever had watching a movie.
I think it's why they cast him as Puss in Boots
This is one of my all time favorite movies
Finally. This movie needs more love
Director Martin Campbell really knows how to revive franchises. Not only did he bring Zorro back with this movie, but he also brought James Bond back (GoldenEye) … TWICE! (Casino Royale)
19:11 That guy reminds me of one of the James Bond villains.
39:11 Well the baby's quiet and isn't upset or crying so it's sort of working
Hey Tim good to see you lol sorry it took me so long to comment in your videos. Lately I've been busy.
Fun fact: In the Batman comics, Zorro was the last movie Bruce wayne saw with his parents in the theater, before they were gunned down in the alley.
This movie was my version of ‘The Matrix’. As in it was mind blowing and it has been recreated so many times. Anyone remember ‘A Cinderella Story’?
The title of your reaction is funny cause when I saw puss in boots in shrek it totally reminded me of the mask of zorro.
Loved Catherine (her leg's) in this
I actually read an article saying that Antonio Banderas wants Tom Holland to play Zorro in the remake, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. 😕😕😕
i'm so excited to see you watch this!!!
The first time I saw this was in my 9th grade Spanish class
You should also meet the Chapulín Colorado. A hero without powers, weak, cowardly, stupid and clumsy but still heroic and very funny
Zorro was created in 1919 by Johnston McCully. Zorro is one of the main inspirations for Batman along with the pulp magazine character The Shadow and Sherlock Holmes. Batman was created by Bob for & Bill Finger Detective Comics #27, 1939 exactly 20 years after Zorro first appearance.
As a long-time fencer... HECK YEAH WE NEED MORE SWORDFIGHTING IN MODERN MOVIES!!! (I started fencing the year after this movie came out. Coincidink? 👀)
I love Zorro, every year i go back to 2 Zorro movies.........
The Mask Of Zorro and Zorro the Gay Blade
Both movies are a fun watch with Zorro TGB being more comedic then Mask but George Hamilton also plays a perfect Zorro. Funny enough both Antonio Banderas and George Hamilton were nominated for Golden Globes for both of their portrayals as Zorro. A definite watch if you keep watching Zorro movies after Legend.
Thank you for this reaction! Antonio Banderas was amazing! I was in a musical production when I was playing Pancho Villa and I watched these films to study their dialect. Catherine Zeta-Jones was both lovely and fierce! I used to wish they would have made a video game where you play as various characters in a sword duel. I can’t wait for your reaction to The Legend of Zorro! Here are other Antonio Banderas films: Uncharted, Doolittle, The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Take the Lead, and he’ll be in the new upcoming film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. ⚔️🔥🖤❤️🔥
I believe Batman was based off of Zorro. He’s a wealthy nobleman but dresses in a black outfit and becomes a vigilante to fight for the people.
A curious fact is that "El zorro" was the way the spaniards called to don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla who was the "father of independence" of Mexico, because for a long time the spanish soldiers couldn't get him. He was a "criollo" priest (son of spanish fathers that were born in spain but he was born in México) and he was fed up with how the "peninsulares" (spaniards born in Spain) treated criollos, mestizos and indigenous people, so he called the population to rebel against the spanish monarchy. Though, he never made it to the North of the country (California in this case in the movie) he was captured in Jalisco then he was excommunicated, shot and beheaded and his head was displayed in Guanajuato for years so anybody wouldn't dare to rebel against the spaniards. Though there were another followers of don Miguel who later on allowed México to be an "independent country". With this in context we're talking about 1810's and México became a free country in 1821. Then shit happened and México lost the Californias in 1848 and its other territories. Don Miguel Hidalgo was long dead by then.
Can't help it . When I see Captain Love, I keep seeing the reverse flash from The flash. Same actor just much younger and thinner
This movie is great. Watch Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Both movies are 2 and 3 of the El Maraichi trilogy.
Considering what Zorro inspired, anyone else get the vibe of Duck Grayson taking on his mentor's mantle?
*DICK! DICK, I OBVIOUSLY MEANT DICK!
Zorro is Spanish for "Fox"
an adventure classic in its purest form!
You have it backwards. Puss in Boots is based on Zorro. So Zorro is NOT a live action Puss in Boots, but PiB is a cartoon of Zorro.
As in, the look that Dreamworks gives Puss in Boots, yeah it's based on Zorro. But Puss in Boots the character is way older.
@@riel4553 true, however it is pretty much only in name as traditional depictions of Puss in boots are traditionally shown/illustrated with more of a European look where as the depiction of PiB in Shrek (to which the title is referring) was more based on Zorro. This was also a major reason why his outfit was changed from his usual depictions to an all black one and why Antonio Banderas was pursued to play this version.
Also the writers and producers have explicitly stated that the character is only inspired by the fairytale version and his depiction and subsequent films are not adaptations of the fairy tale.
The title is actually hilarious because you've seen Puss in Boots before!😁😼❤
34:35 As we learned at the end of 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier', it is a very foolish thing (as well some may say as a very rude thing) to underestimate to elderly or even the middle aged.
2 ends of the Spectrum with Antonio Banderas: ‘My Mom’s New Boyfriend’ and ‘Dolor y Gloria’.
Dude!! Nice! I was wondering when you’d get around to this one!!
This is one of my favorite movies from my dad’s time and one of Antonio Banderas’s best works to date!!
I love this movie, it's so good👍🏻
Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico are even better Antonio Banderas movies
This was the first movie my mom ever saw at the movies....when i was a little kid n recommended it to her over animation
Anthony Hopkins is so good, it doesn't even matter that he was miscast lol
Miscast? The character he plays is a Spanish nobleman. Seems like good casting to me.
@@johnhallman3611 casting Mr. Hopkins is always good but his strong English accent makes it all kinda funny.
@@theonlykoh4631 Hollywood is weird with accents. Not one guy in The Death of Stalin had a Russian accent.
@@johnhallman3611 and it was hilarious
&THEONLYKOH Wrong, Hopkins actually uses his native Welsh accent, one of the few times in his career where he has done so.
(Reads title)
Like, yeah, why did you think they made Puss Antonio Banderas? It was a self-parody XD
I grew up watching Godzilla 1998 and the previews before the movie was zorro and it got me pumped for the movie and when I finally watched it it didn’t disappoint Zorro is awesome
Thanks 👍🤗 I enjoyed watching you discover this one….FUN! ✨
Always loved this movie, despite being so cringy :D . Definitely one of the best Zorro movies / series.
As for Antonio Banderas, definitely check out "Assassins" (1995) with Sylvester Stallone and ofcourse Desperado and Once upon a time in Mexico.
🔥. A true gem! I’m so glad you watched it! This is movie is chefs kiss.
It really is!
Another Antonio Banderas movie: Desperado (1995). It was always playing on the TV when I was a kid. As you would say, "Check it out."
How many people jumped to 28:47?🤣🤣
Let's not forget Zorro inspired Batman.
Matt Letscher was very underrated as Captain Love! The 2nd film is not as good, but still really fun!
