No Other Zorro Need Apply
Banderas and Hopkins should have taken notes from Alain Delon and Stanley Baker! Unequivocally the greatest dual committed to film. Alain Delon and Stanley Baker are perfectly cast in this European version that makes all American versions look like a cheap costume party. Fantastic sets, wonderful costumes, the audience member is transported back in time. While far from the plot of Johnston McCulley's 1919 novel, this 1975 version does retain the spirit of his original character. What I don't like is that this version has been mercilessly edited of some key scenes. I would like to encourage all fans of this film to lobby for it's FULL restoration to two hours.

The "Unknown" Zorro
1977, I was in 7th grade, my hormones just beginning to carbonate. My parents let me stay up to see "Zorro" with Alain Delon. I spent the movie with my mouth open, my imagination reeling and my total sense of romance cracked open. This was the beginning of a total fascination with the black masked hero that has continued on into adulthood. I've seen every one of the Zorro movies ever made - a total geek. This one is special for so many reasons - Alain Delon is the most manly of the Zorros to ever wear the mask, particular care and love was given to showing the cleverness of Zorro rather than just simple sword play and gnashing of teeth, and the focus is on Zorro's work for justice rather than just getting the girl. I still thrill to see this movie and become the heart-thumping 12 year old each time the first images roll across the screen! To me, Alain Delon is still one of the most beautiful men God made. The DVD has some issues - apparently the original film didn't survive intact and some of the scenes are either cut short or totally cut out. Enough of the original remains, however, for it to still be fun. Stanley Baker gets my vote for Best Zorro Bad Guy next to Ron Liebman in "Zorro the Gay Blade"! (although, much more serious:)

very bad
This is a terribly abridged and deformed version of the original movie. Due to stupid approach of the DVD issuer, the conflict between violent/non-violent justice remains unrevield. Also some plotlines are lost.
If you really love the movie of your childhood , you vill by cruelly disappointed.

Great movie, bad DVD
This is a wonderful Zorro film. I am avid Zorro collector and have the original, with the extra scenes, on VHS. This DVD is like someone rescued the various clips from their VHS tape and copied it to DVD. That said, though, ... it's still worth having. The fight scenes are intact and was some of the best swordfighting choreography ever. It's missing all the story buildup, so many of the scenes won't make sense, but the fact that I can still enjoy it even with all that gone says something about this film.

Perfect art.
Garcia, the fat fool, is led by the nose, weighed in the balance and found wanting. He's on his knees in the corral with his rump upreared, but Zorro spares him for the moment, mercifully. He turns his attention to the other soldiers, mere toys in his hands. They pursue him past a row of olive-oil tuns, the camera feints right like a magician's other hand, then cuts back to a farther vantage as they are doused. Zorro climbs to a balcony (a nice appreciation of Douglas Fairbanks) to fence with a couple of fellows, whose swords are caught in a door he opens, suddenly. He closes it and swiftly locks them in. The battle continues on and on, until the two burst their way out and fly over the balcony like tummelers. It's a three-ring circus, and when it ends, Garcia is down on his knees again, presenting an irresistible target. Zorro cuts his majuscule into that rotund bottom, and away.

Richard Lester labored in the clay of The Three Musketeers before he discovered the perfect art of The Four Musketeers, but there it is. It helps to be a genius, and what is that but recognizing the possibilities of the material?

The ladies in church are bathed in tongues of fire, in the midst of which is Zorro, answered by a child's laughing face.

His foppish alter ego is naturally built on the Scarlet Pimpernel, with a flash of inspiration drawing on The Great Race (Jack Lemmon as Professor Fate and the Prince). As such, Alain Delon arises from the throne at a formal gathering, takes a few steps forward with a fairy grace and trips over something all the way down to the red carpet, face-first---and springs up again, laughing.

Rich costumes fill the palace Tessari films in, with a great eye for the angular impression that gives life to the scene.

The advantages of the Italian school are these: a soldier doing a spit take at the sight of Zorro has the serene outward manner of a piece of fountain statuary; the one-second gag can become your forte, even if it involves a dozen actors and a barrack-room full of props; you can set up leisurely variations on the Harry James bugle gag in Private Buckaroo.

Rolling barrels down a slope against your victim, that's a gag varied here by making it a narrow curved corridor deep in the palace. The soldiers climb it, Zorro rolls out the barrels, they topple, he climbs into a large one and barrels past them all.

Tessari's impressionism is best seen in a plein-air pursuit on horseback, with rapid cuts, a one-second dolly shot à la Olivier, every freshness available in the variation of angles and approaches, brought to a perfectly cogent end.

He understands from Welles the value of Griffith's editing. Battle affray is smeared across a few comprehensive shots, clear or blurred, and there's Zorro's mastiff having a pee in a medium long shot, then loping off with a lolling tongue.

Stanley Baker plays a figure who is Zorro's only equal, at first more comical the more serious he tries to be, and then in the final swordfight a worthy opponent, at least in appearance. This long sequence is fought so bravely and filmed so well that when Zorro seems to have been vanquished with a stupendous gag (swung on a rope crashing through the rose window of the chapel) you honestly have to cheer his vanquisher for a moment. Ah, but "Zorro's back," as the truly delightful song has it, and the dramatic conclusion has all the savor of the Saturday sagas. ... Read more

Decent B Movie with Omar Sharif
This is a non-stop action adventure in which Carol Alt seeks out mercenary Rutger Hauer to retrive her kidnapped son from his arab grandfather (Omar Shariff). Explosive gunfire is everywher in this fast=paced feature combing spectacular action, superb acting, an intriguing plot, and breathtaking scenes shot in the Sahra desert.

Beyond Justice - The Best Family Movie
The movie Beyond Justice is a great movie for everybody to see. For anybody over the age of 10 should be able to understand the meaning of this video. I have received a sneak preview of the movie from a company that advertises it. If you like comedy , family , action movies with out violence then this is the movie. So buy this movie right away for yourself or a family member it would be a great gift. A AWESOME MOVE !!!

Great Entertainment
Loved the movie and have been trying to purchase it for some years. It has been brought out under quite a few names i.e. Maktub. Law of the Desert and Beyond Justice to name just two. Its great acting and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

An underrated action movie.
This movie has been largely ignored by the general public. I suppose this may be partly due to the confusion about the title (it has been released as 'Desert Law', 'Law of the Desert' and 'Beyond Justice'). Nevertheless Beyond Justice is a fast-paced movie combining spectacular action, good acting and a plot, that is at least two steps above average for movies in this genre. The Maltin summary does not do this movie justice. The plot may have some twists in it, but it avoids the usual loose ends and I see no reason, why an action movie should have a completely predictable plot. The actors do a good job (Omar Sharif obviously enjoying himself as a conservative Arab Sheik and Rutger Hauer quite believable as a matter-of-fact mercenary) The camera work is downright spectacular, using the impressive landscape of the Sahara to great effect and the score is one of the best ever to be heard in action movies. On the whole this is a forgotten movie, that deserved a far better fate. ... Read more
