You see him jump over that mule?Phenomenal! Actors of old had to actually perform the heroic stunts. Today, they just work out just enough to look like they can do them. Another noteworthy point, Fairbanks set the standard for Zorro's now famous costume. If you read McCully's original story, Zorro wore a sombrero -- among other things. It was Fairbanks who changed it to the black ensemble we know and love today..

True that, Mcculley changed it for all his subsequent novels and stories inspired by Fairbanks , he also changed the name of the first novel to The Mark of Zorro from the original Curse of Capistrano. Zorro had two daddies - Johnston Mcculley and Douglas Fairbanks .

There's a sense of urgency to the film that's absent in today's features. Probably because everything nowadays is CGI. Fairbanks probably had the greatest influence on the Zorro character outside of the creator Johnston Mccully..
