The smilarities between These Zorro movies and Goldeneye?


Did anyone else noticed how these two Zorro movies directed by Martin Cambell noded a little to Goldeneye.

First the weird 2nd villains reminicent of Bond of a Henchman from a Bond flick or using ironic names.

In the Mask of Zorro we get Capitan Love. I guess i don't need much explanation. His names has love but he is a horrible sadistic man and in the Legend of Zorro we have the guy with the wooden teeth.

In the Maks of Zorro party scene Catherine Zeta Jones hair style and Make up is quite similar to Famke's in the Casino scene in Goldeneye, in the legend of Zorro Alejandro rescues elena from a train in a similar way to how Bond rescued Natalya from a train as well.
Also her make up in the other scenes Catherine was wearingb looked more natural and soft similar to the one Izabella Scourpco was wearing in Goldeneye.

Antonio Banderas Zorro was a bitt similar to Pierce's Bond serious when it was needed but playful and almost immature in other moments and like Bond always flirtacious and with some puns.

When elena says but i may scream after their swordfight Zorro has an anseer which could have been so Bond which is i understand sometimes i have that effect.
Also the sword fight between them was slightly reminicent to the Sauna Scene with Xenia in Goldeneye.

Right now these are the ones that i remember but when i think of this film now it gives me the Vibe that Campbell was highly inspiried on what he did with Goldeneye that he incorporated those elements to his Zorro flicks and he did it well i most say.


Seems like Campbell knows how to work with iconic characters , so if for whatever reason Batman vs Superman doesn't work Warner could call Campbell to fix it. I think he could work with Batman well maybe he wouldn't be as somber and serious as Christopher Nolan but he oculd create something special for Batman.

This film has multiple references to Goldeneye: A character going “shhh”, lines such as “guards”, “kill him”. Both villains plans are thwarted by the hero jamming a satellite/pulley. In both films the villain (Love, Trevelyn) are killed when their own device (satellite, gold) comes crashing down on them.
