Company:

Columbia Pictures Corporation

Trivialidades:

The sequel went through many titles. It was originally called "The Mask Of Zorro 2" and then that title was changed to "Zorro Unmasked" which had been the original script title by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. After their script was not used the title went to "Zorro 2" then to "The Return Of Zorro" before Sony pictures finally settled on the title "Legend Of Zorro".

Goofs:

Factual errors: The film is set in the three months prior to California statehood (September 9,1850); however Armand says the shipment of nitroglycerin is bound for the Confederate States of America which did not exist until February 1861.

Quotes:

Zorro: [after making a "Z" mark on Armand] So the devil knows who sent you.

Solid family adventure film

If you don't like Saturday morning cartoons, children's adventure movies, and silly fun, then don't bother seeing this film. Otherwise, you'll have a good time.

The filmmakers take major liberties with history, human behavior, and the laws of physics, but it really doesn't matter. They're not going for realism. They wanted to make a flamboyant PG-rated kids' movie and succeeded. The characters all behave pretty much the way they do in kids' movies, and the cast is obviously having far too much fun.

Adults expecting a grown-up swashbuckler will be disappointed, but the adventurous kid in me really enjoyed it.
