¡Zorro!

I’ve always loved Zorro. From the reruns of the 50s ones right up to this version, he’s always been the hero of the regular people.

@singlemaltgirl

Yeah, lots of buckling of swash 😊

I’d like a bit less angst and more protecting the regular Californians like the old version, but he gets there in the end 👍

@DyDave i was totally obsessed with the disney zorro when i was 4, so much that i threw a massive fit till parents bought me a zorro costume, which i wanted to wear every day. zorro and batman have always been my favorites. as an adult, The Mask of Zorro is a favorite movie

@Iceman_Bob

Also, you’re right to link Batman and Zorro and I think that’s the key. They fight for the everyman because it means something and not because they have some innate ability.

They develop their skills because they care.

@DyDave
Original tv series was great. It was a Sunday night family highlight.
Followed up by The Swamp Fox which I only just discovered starred Leslie Nielsen 😵‍💫

@Hisabah

😂

Do you remember Bill Collins’ classic movies on Channel Ten back in the day?

Apart from his adoration of Deanna Durbin, he loved swashbuckling.

I learned about movies from him 🤷🏼‍♂️

@DyDave
There was a guy in Japan like that.
Nagaharu Yodogawa.
“the host of Sunday Western Movie Theatre, a job to which he was so devoted that he did not miss a single appearance until just a week before his death. During his three decades as the show's host he interviewed film stars "ranging from Charlie Chaplin to Steven Seagal". Known for closing each show with his signature line "Sayonara, sayonara, sayonara".”

Someone used to irreverently call him San Sayonara San ✨


@DyDave

Zorro but also the Cisco Kid and Pancho.

@Sr0bio

Oh yeah! So important.

When I was a boy in the suburbs of Montreal, we struggled to find players who wanted to be cowboys but it was okay.

Most of us wanted to be First People or Zorro or the Cisco Kid.

We were always against the man
