    • Trivia
      At the end, when Zorro confronts Captain Love, he pulls out his sword, and the sun glints off the blade running the full length. This was not CGI, and was suggested by Antonio Banderas. He had to tilt the sword to catch the sun without breaking eye contact with Matt Letscher. It only took three takes.
    • Goofs
      At the mine, the wagon is shown filled with gold. Given the dimensions of the bars since gold is heavy each bar would weigh between 25 and 30 pounds. This would mean that the amount of gold in the wagon would weigh between five and six tons, much more than that type wagon could carry.
    • Quotes

      Elena: [in a confessional, Alejandro posing as a priest] I have broken the fourth commandment, padre.

      Alejandro Murrieta: You killed somebody?

      Elena: No, that is not the fourth commandment.

      Alejandro Murrieta: [pause] Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments.

      Elena: I dishonored my father.

      Alejandro Murrieta: That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.

      Elena: What?

      Alejandro Murrieta: I said tell me more, my child.

    It belongs to the Top #250.
    This is a truly wonderful movie. In my opinion it belongs with the Classics.

    What is a classic anyway? Something with timeless quality. And this movie has it.

    Just saw this movie again for the 3rd or 4th time since it came out. I remembered almost every scene and still sat to watch it again. To see the great photography, to hear the inspirational music, to admire and have fun with the excellent performances of all actors, leading and supporting.

    This movie has it all. It revives one of the more influential characters of all time, with the most appropriate way. You get a dramatic, even tragic, plot, and simultaneously a fun script. Emotion and comedy at the same time. Great visuals and scenery and also good action.

    In my opinion this a highly underrated movie (6.7 for 2013 doesn't give it justice at all) and it belongs among the best. For the friend who gave a low rating a note: Not all the dramas have to be edgy and dark.

    Overall: Highly recommended
