Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Zorro in name only
The plot and characters are good, basic western stuff, and up to the high technical standards of Republic productions. But a Zorro's Fighting Legion it aint. Little effort wasmade in restoring the Zorro mystique to our hero, as in The Mask of Zorro. He simply changes clothing like putting on our longjohns in winter. The mystery of the big boss is well done and the courthouse gang sounds like some books I have read about the late Lydon Johnson's Texas political machine.
Rating:  - A great B-Western movie
I was a child in the 70/80ties, and saw this movie in the German-TV. Now I was able to review my old childhood-hero again on this amazing VHS video. George Turner did a great performance!!!
But... where is the DVD...????

Rating:  - Not the worst, but the dullest
This isn't the worst serial I've ever seen (WINNERS OF THE WEST gets that honor), but this is easily the dullest. Even the mountains of stock footage from earlier (and much better) Zorro serials can't alleviate the sheer tedium of George Turner, the world's most non-descript Masked Avenger. Opt for ZORRO'S BLACK WHIP, ZORRO RIDES AGAIN or ZORRO'S FIGHTING LEGION instead. And hey, Artisan, where's the DVD releases of the Republic serials????????
Rating: - Thrills and Spills!
This l947 Republic actioner moves at jet-speed pace, thanks mainly to great performances by Peggy Stewart, as Postmistress "Kate," and her co-star George Turner. This is basically a standard westerner but the epidode endings are wonderfully inventive--especially the one where Kate and zorro are trapped in a cave with a wall of water racing toward them. Peggy is the perfect serial heroine: feisty, gutsy, and she looks great in her cowgirl outfit and does most of her own stunt work. She began making ... Read More
