Talk:The Mark of Zorro (1920 film)

Deleting Batman connection section
The version of "The Mark of Zorro" that Bruce Wayne saw as a boy was 1940 version, starring Tyrone Power. This is clearly stated in "The Dark Knight Returns" and other Batman comics. I'm moving this section to the entry about the 1940 movie.(72.144.183.207 23:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC))

A story by Alan Grant in one issue of Batman clearly states that Bruce saw the Douglas Fairbanks original, which makes perfect sense as the 1940 version came out after Batman was created. Could add the Batman connection to both as a compromise considering different versions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.15.94 (talk) 20:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I concur that the Batman connection section is kruft and should be deleted. Sterlingjones (talk) 20:41, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I would cut the Batman section severely. I think the first paragraph, minus the last sentence, does belong in this article. The last sentence and its citation might belong in this article in some place (not under the Batman heading). Vadder (talk) 01:53, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

It's been days now since I removed the Batman section. Things seem peaceful. Let's discuss if needed. Sterlingjones (talk) 00:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Musical scores?
Given that this was originally a silent film, does anyone know the history of the various musical scores added to various editions? The version linked to at the Internet Archive has a (rather mangled) orchestral score with some recognizable classical themes, but no info that I could find on its origins. The DVD version from Kino (http://www.amazon.com/Mark-Zorro-Don-Son/dp/B000067IYE/) has a piano score, and I think possibly some history to go along with it, but I don't have access to the DVD to check that at the moment.

Queen of Swords connection
I've tagged this as dubious - the linked website makes no reference to Zorro and the connection between these two productions appears very weak. - Peripitus (Talk) 01:40, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The TV series came out after the Sony film The Mark of Zorro and Sony sued them unsucessfully because the copyrighted items from the this 1920 film and original story were out of time.This is another link that goes into great detail  Sony Pictures v Fireworks
 * Delongis was the swordmaster and stunt coordinator on the TV series and is an acknowledged exepert and wanted a unique fighting style for The Queen.--REVUpminster (talk) 08:44, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
