“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
Tornado, 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. &
Henry Darrow 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.

The
ruthless Alcalde (Michael Tylo), will stop at nothing to unmask his
nemesis, the master swordsman Zorro. No one is safe, not even the
beautiful tavern owner Victoria (Patrice Camhi) who finds herself
framed for murder in the very first episode.
But only
the young deaf-mute servant Felipe (Juan Diego Botto) knows the
truth—that the black-clad avenger is, in reality, Don Diego de la Vega
(Duncan Regehr). Even Don Diego’s father, wealthy landowner Don
Alejandro (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.), doesn't suspect his mild, scholarly
son could possibly be the bold protector of the innocent known as Zorro!
Season 1
sees Zorro thwart one dastardly scheme after another—from trumped up
murder charges to monopolizing the water supply; illegal press gangs to
enforced slavery; even a pair of matrimonial flimflams—and includes a
special four-part origin episode entitled “The Legend Begins.”

With
each deft stroke of his sword, the legend of Zorro grows—as does the
fury and desperation of the Alcalde. The stakes are higher than ever:
Victoria is shot. Diego falls to a desert viper. Zorro’s fencing master
becomes prey to bounty hunters. Even bumbling Sergeant Mendoza (James
Victor) finds himself in danger—of a broken heart.
Season 2
begins with a fan-favorite episode, in which an eccentric inventor
named Wayne (Batman’s Adam West) matches wits with the world’s
first “caped crusader.” The episode also features the endearing Henry
Darrow, who takes over the role of Zorro’s father, Don Alejandro. The
season finale brings another meeting of titans, as Zorro, traveling in
France, crosses swords with the Three Musketeers.
This
star-studded season features unforgettable turns by entertainment icons
Doug McClure (The Land That
Time Forgot), Warwick Davis (Willow), Peter Postlethwaite (Amistad) and stuntmaster Peter Diamond (Star Wars) as well as wrestling superstars Roddy
Piper (They Live) and Andre the Giant (The
Princess
Bride).

Meet
the new Alcalde, even worse than the old Alcalde…
Following
the harrowing events of the end of Season 2, Los Angeles needs a new
mayor. Things look promising as an old school chum of Diego de la Vega
arrives with a nomination from the Spanish king. But the new Alcalde
Ignacio De Soto (John Hertzler) quickly shows his tyrannical colors,
threatening to keep the town’s elite in jail until Zorro is caught.
Things go
from bad to worse for the struggling pueblo of Los Angeles, as they
face marauding banditos, extortionate taxes, debtor’s prisons and
anti-Indian bigotry. But their oppressors soon learn a hard lesson:
preying upon the helpless earns the wrath—and the mark—of Zorro!
Patsy
Rowlands (Tom Jones), Jesse Ventura (Predator), Tim Reid (It) and Bernard Kay (Doctor Zhivago) also make memorable appearances.

Personal
crises
make life even more complicated for Zorro as family, friend and
foe come closer than ever to discovering his secret identity. The
eternal love triangle between Victoria, Diego, and Diego’s alter-ego
Zorro takes a dramatic turn. And it appears Diego, Don Alejandro’s
“only son,” might have a brother after all!
The fourth
and final season of Zorro pits the hero against more sophisticated and
ruthless foes than he’s ever battled before—including a bitter sibling
with the authority to ruin everything the de la Vegas have built in
California. But as always, Zorro draws strength from the love of
Victoria, aid from the valiant Felipe, and speed from the mighty
stallion Tornado. The villains learn that the people of Los Angeles can
always count on “one who’s larger than life and defender of all. He's
the one who strikes back for the poor and oppressed. A hero… whose name
is Zorro!”
Daniel
Craig (Casino Royale) appears in one of his earliest roles.
Other prominent guest stars include Patrick Drury (Father Ted), Peter Guinness (Doctor Who) and Oliver Cotton (Shanghai Knights).

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.
