Zorro is famous for the Z and the mask he was wearing ... well I doubt the mask our "hero" is wearing here will make it ... it's just kind of ridiculous ... even if it somewhat keeps the mystery up. Well for the characters in the movie. I'd reckon that almost everyone watching this knows what is what and who is who.
But it is not so much about the mystery of the masked man (literally!), it is about the fun one can have watching the movie. There are many other influences you can detect here too ... all from vigilantes, fighting off evil to protect the poor and the ones who can't defend themselves. The story is quite simple and not worthy rehashing ... but the fun factor is so high, you probably shouldn't mind ... I was just surprised I have never seen this before. All the gun and brawl sound effects of the era ... if you don't mind them - or rather cherish them like I do.
