I don't know if anyone else felt this way but like .... This scene was so effective I could almost smell that prison...

To all asking why it took him 20 yrs to escape, it was because he was a broken man when they destroyed his family. Now with the return of his former adversary, he found a new drive to get revenge i think

It is our great fortune that Anthony Hopkins was able to escape prison in order to resume filming the Mask of Zorro. That is true dedication to the craft.

Dude must have read The Count of Monte Christo when was in jail.

Our very own Mexican Count of Monte Cristo. 🤣

One of my all time favourite films.. I think Anthony Hopkins is a brilliant actor so charismatic

I love that the third Zorro wanabe says to the second who is black, "...anyone can see you are too tall!".

So, not only were his fellow inmates pretty cool with just watching him escape without letting any of them out, but he could also hold his breath after having been buried alive a heck of a long time.

The old man does have a point that 2nd guy claiming he is Zorro is indeed too tall

Those other inmates just watched Zorro do his escape without making a fuss. They didn't even ask him to free them as well. Must be hardcore supporters of Zorro.

Nice nod of the hat to Spartacus.

Sir Hopkins sure has a knack for escaping custody while pretending to be someone else ;P

Edmund dantes would be proud

Spain's greatest actor Anthony Hopkins

The music during his breakout is fantastic. You can feel the tension yet but also hear the heroic theme coming through. Also the body moves at 4:50 lol.

Makes me wonder how many times he tried to escape because 20 years is a lot my friend and the way how he did it is so skilled and calculated. He definitely plan this is was perfectly done💚👏🏾

When De la Vega gets out of the grave I jumped scared in the movie theater 😂

I remember jumping so hard in the cinema when he emerged out of the grave... such a long time ago!

1:40 In Raphaël mind: "Hannibal Lecter?!"

"silence you old fool"

Don Rafael: Takes off hood Guard: Yeah. I still don’t know you

He’s been struck in the prison for 2 decades

Love the 20 secs of music starting @ 3:33.

Hannibal Lecter escapes from prison again

I am Spartacus

Hannibal De La Vega gives young cellmates lesson on prisonbreak

I wonder if Agent Starling went after him after he escaped

He’s been stuck in the prison for 2 decades

Been honest he looks like viktor reznov from black ops😂😅

Nerus from Stargate SG1😊

Gotta give props to the costume and makeup department

It was a amazing film ,great scenes amazingly great actors

@3:10 that SOUND bro lol

It shouldn't have been that hard to find zorro for a villain like Don Rafael.. I mean, he knows what Don Diego looked like before prison, but even though he has changed, there are ways. He could have asked for "Don Diego de la Vega", a name which the other inmates wouldn't have known. Or when the first guy says he's Zorro he could have said: "alright, guards.. cut this man's head off!" In a movie like this, that would have surely prompted the real Zorro to shout: "Don Rafael! I am the one you seek! Face me now..!"

I'm Zorro and so's my wife!

This is a pretty cool movie, but I'm glad I wasn't a longtime Zorro fan when I watched it (I was only 8 when it came out), because what they put Don Diego de la Vega through would have broken my heart!

Is this how they treated dr lecter?😂 3:04😮

I love this Movie, watched it decades ago... But I just noticed.... That is 2 feet under not 6 feet. That is goin to stink... Also... Looks like Zoro have been watching "The Count of Monte Cristo" Remake😂🤣

I can't wait to see this brand new movie

Shallow graves, not even once.

I am Zorro, I am Zorro, I am Spartacus ... what?

Thats not zorro thats the undertaker

Hannibal Lecture escapes again 😂

ZO GOOD

I absolutely love this movie. It was so well done and very fitting to the Zorro legends. But one thing kind of bothered me. Don Diego was such a brilliant man, and yet in 20 years he never had an opportunity to escape before now?

3:04 This part is very cool. Throughout the whole movie, Hopkins displays a deadly economy of motion which really makes sense for someone so proficient at violence as the legendary Zorro. The way he pretty much jumpscares both this guard and the audience in order to begin his escape is very badass. I will say, this whole grimdark sequence in which Zorro loses everything and has to languish in a disgusting underwater prison for decades is an ... odd direction to go with the Zorro franchise, and really clashes tonally with the rest of the movie- the younger Zorro's almost slapstick swashbuckling adventures, his flirtations (and stripping of) Elaina later on in the film; it's really weird when juxtaposed with the older Zorro's absolutely tragic backstory which opens the movie. Hopkins plays the character as presented very well, and overall it manages to work. But I can't help feeling that this is somewhat a case of classic 90s Edge, and wondering if it was really that necessary to have in the film. Still. Cool escape scene.

2:00 The very 1st time I saw that part in the year 2000, I laughed my ass off with my friends when the black guy said he is Zorro, LOL!!!

2:41

leave it to zorro to come up with a leathal version of the vulcan nerve pinch

"And I didn't have to steal a cop's face this time"

A british person played Zorro extremely well.

Can't believe he didn't break the prison earlier.

He looks like Radagast

I realize that compared to modern prisons and jails these old school Dungeons would appear much simpler to Escape from witch with the absence of things like surveillance footage alarm systems DNA Databases and modern media would be true to a certain extent but nevertheless that doesn’t make it any Easier or less scary and extremely dangerous to attempt.

This movie is awesome until now

Stole the idea from the count of monte cristo

They all protected him..because of what he did for the people

amazing movie , it really is

i randomly thought of this guy talking in his sleep and came straight here lmao

So he always escapes capture by passing off as deade/injured and getting carried away by his enemies

I AM SPARTACUS...I mean ZORRO!

....Reznov? Is that you?

does this channel know that the actors aren't the characters they are playing?

This might be my post-pandemic sensibilities speaking but it always bothered me how Raphael can touch his face with that hanky and then touch the prisoners faces. Even if he didnt care for hygiene, why have that thing in the first place if not to protect himself from germs or whatever 😂😂

I am Zorro I am Zorro I am Spartacus

'I am Zorro. They took my mask...' Yo God knows I want to recite this now, but where though?

I hate it when people mistake an actor's name for the name of his character's name. Especially if both the movie and the performance is good. It's insulting.

Colonial time special forces

Wrong vídeo title. Anthony Hopkins is not escaping from prison, it is the character named “Diego de la Vega”.

Seeing this again all these later, its still a fun scene but with that level of dimwitted jailer and his intelligence and opportunism, he'd have escaped years ago.

That hood is ridiculous

Not as good as him escaping by wearing another man’s face.

I dont get this movie. Why does Rafael Montero and Old Zorro have English accents. If theyre in mexico . And even if they are spaniards, they supposes to have spanish accents not english accents lol

well the dude lifting his upper boppdy had his arms right around his chest so he certainly would feel a pulse 😆
