Product Description
Out of the night a hero must rise with courage that even a mask can t disguise! So begins the adventures of Zorro swordsman, scientist and relentless defender of the oppressed.

In early 19th century Spanish California, a corrupt Alcalde (mayor) grows rich by terrorizing the good people of Los Angeles. Young and dashing Don Diego de la Vega (Duncan_Regehr), pretending to care only for science and study, secretly creates a bold alter-ego: Zorro the Fox. Aided by his mute servant Felipe, inspired by the faith of the beautiful tavern-keeper Victoria, and carried into battle by the mighty steed Toronado, Zorro thwarts the Alcalde s plots at every turn.

Filmed entirely in Madrid, Spain, Zorro aired on The Family Channel for four seasons, from 1990-1993. Still a tremendous fan favorite, Zorro is renowned for its swashbuckling family-friendly adventure as well as its top-notch cast of featured characters and guests, including Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Don Alejandro de la Vega, Daniel Craig, Andre the Giant, Philip Michael Thomas, Jesse Ventura and Adam West.

For the first time ever, all 88 episodes have been collected in one DVD set, including a bonus disc with classic Zorro films, an alternate series pilot and much more.

Special Features: The Zorro Archives
The legend of Zorro truly begins in 1919, with the publication of Johnston McCulley's story, The Curse of Capistrano. A year later, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford produced The Mark of Zorro with Fairbanks as the title character as the inaugural film for their new studio, United Artists. Since then, the character has inspired more than 40 films and nearly a dozen TV series. The Zorro Archives includes some of the masked defender's most influential appearances as well as rare behind-the-scenes material from the 1990 series.

  • The Mark Of Zorro starring Douglas Fairbanks: the original full-length silent film that defined the swashbuckler genre
  • Chapter 1 of the 1939 theatrical serial Zorro's Fighting Legion
  • Trailers for the serials Zorro's Fighting Legion, Zorro's Black Whip and Zorro Rides Again
  • The original, never-before-released pilot for the New World Zorro
  • A photo gallery from the New World Zorro

I used to love this as a kid. Sadly, I don't seem like any shows I loved as kid as an adult (with the exception of BM:TAS).

I'm not sure how many of these I even watched. I'm pretty sure that I recorded the first
movie/pilot, and then a few other episodes, but I wasn't really around a TV much in the
early 1990s.

But, I collect most things Zorro, so I'm in for the whole thing.

What I would really like to see released on professional DVD is the 1974 made-for TV
Mark of Zorro starring Frank Langella. I recall that as being quite well done.
