According to legend, swordfighting in this scene is mostly improvized!

Obin Wan e Anakin esses merdas, se o Don Diego segurasse um sabre jedi, acabava com todo mundo

I could be wrong, but I think this was the only time in his career that Basil Rathbone got to be killed by someone who actually knew how to fence.

This is my favorite swordfight in cinematic history.
I enjoy all of the notable Zorros, from Doug Fairbanks to Guy Williams, to Duncan Regehr, to Antonio Banderas...even Alain Delon. But Tyrone Power remains my absolute favorite incarnation of the character.
Basil Rathbone, of course, is one of the great heavies of film history, perfectly suited to a role like Pasquale.
And the choreography and staging are just wonderful for this scene. No matter how many times I see it, it always thrills me.

It's a shame that the swordfighting is so great. The sound design and synchronization on this is rather poor. But again, the technique to my eyes is flawless.

Better than cgi

Wow. This is how you stage a sword fight.

Obviously the swordfight itself is one for the ages, but Power's hardening of the face @1:22 deserves mad props too.

Homfencing, kindly do your homework before twisting history; you are so wrong. Rathbone was an expert swordsman, and after he retired from Hollywood, he gave speeches at universities and the like. He often talked about his fencing skills and said that he could have dispatched his opponents to the hereafter without difficulty.
