* [[Anvilicious]]: Arguably, both films seem to carry a recurring trend that, when Zorro loses focus and starts thinking of his own gain or gratification, things go very wrong for him. (Significantly observable in the second film where {{spoiler|everything turns around for Zorro after he prays for the strength to do what's right}}.)
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: The private scene between "Don Alejandro" and Captain Love. IIRC, The only thing Captain Love talks about in that scene is about Indians using some king of voodoo with dead enemeies to take their power (and that's never referenced in the movie again) and then Captain Love does something to remind the audience that he killed Joaquin, which is unnecessary because Alejandro already knows that Captain Love killed Joaquin. You can cut out this scene, and it wouldn't hurt the next scene between Alejandro and Don-Diego at all.
** It certainly serves as character development for Captain Love - He's clearly staged the scene to intimidate Alejandro. Either he's brash enough to bully a social superior he views a silly dandy competing with him for Elena, or he suspects Alejandro's true identity and is trying to taunt him into giving himself away. Either way the audience now understands that Captain Love is smarter, more reckless and more sadistic than previously shown.
* [[Complete Monster]]: In the first movie, Captain Love. Keeps the dismembered bodyparts of Alejandro's brother pickled in alcohol, which he drinks "based on an Incan custom". And when he learns Zorro has the means to expose Don Rafael's plan (buying California with stolen gold), he calmly suggests destroying the mine to hide evidence of the theft...with the slaves who did the mining still inside, "to destroy all the evidence".
