Nothing a foil can't fix, am I right?

The main character in Johnston McCulley’s 1919 serialized novel, The Curse of Capistrano, Zorro, has made his mark (literally) on all kinds of public property, but perhaps most notably on the silver screen.

A nobleman who returns to Spanish California after studying in Spain, he adopts the alter ego and hides behind the identity of a book-loving fop in order to combat the injustices that surround him.

Here are six different ways to enjoy his swashbuckling adventures from the comfort of your own couch!

Zorro (1957)

The classic Disney interpretation, starring Guy Williams, was originally shot in black and white, but was later digitally colorized for younger audiences in the 90s when the series made a comeback as part of the late night “Vault Disney” lineup.

Memorable for it’s humor and loveable characters such as the bumbling Sgt. Garcia played by Henry Calvin, and Don Diego’s faithful manservant, Bernardo, played by Gene Sheldon, this is definitely a foundational must-watch for any Zorro fan.

Zorro (1975)

If you’ve ever wanted to watch an Italian-French Spaghetti Western version of this swashbuckling saga, you’re in luck! Directed by Duccio Tessari, this film adds political intrigue to the existing plot structure and adds some European flair and spin. With Alain Delon in the starring role, the masked avenger took on a more serious Bond-like energy.

The Mask Of Zorro (1998)

Tri-Star Pictures

Unforgettable for its all-star cast, this Hollywood version of Zorro starring Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, and Catherine Zeta-Jones presented the legend of the fox on a much higher budget than ever before. Melding the setting of Spanish California with the trappings of a traditional Western, the film allowed Don Diego to hand his mask over to a commoner from a younger generation.

The Legend Of Zorro (2005)

Sony Pictures

Zorro is a now parent with a secret identity and a strained marriage, while his beloved California is about to become the 31st state in this much demanded sequel. His wife Elena is an undercover agent working for the Pinkertons, and a secret society known as the Knights of Aragon are plotting to destroy everything in site with a ton of nitroglycerin. Nothing a foil can’t fix, am I right?

Zorro: La Espada Y La Rosa (2007)

Produced by RTI Television and Telemundo, this interpretation of Zorro is perfect for fans who wanted the legend to go on a little longer, and by longer I mean 122 full-length telenovela episodes. Leading man Christian Meier is easy on the eyes, and surrounded by a supporting cast of characters including villainous red-head Mariángel, eye-patch wearing Fernando, and a band of gypsies.

Zorro (2024)

Starring Miguel Bernardeau of Netflix’s 1899 and Elite, the most recent retelling of Zorro is a Spanish-language production for Amazon. The series puts a spin on the traditional plotline by tasking Diego with solving his father’s murder upon his return from Spain. While there is still no word if this series will be picked up for a second season, fans are hopeful it has a future.
