Zorro & Elena Swordfight

Universal Studios Hollywood in California presents "Zorro & Elena" in Western Street, located between the old "Wild, Wild, Wild West Stunt Show", "Flintstones carnival games", and "Shrek 4D". This short but entertaining character atmosphere stunt show has Zorro and Elena enter a domestic dispute which leads to a swordfight. Opened October 2005.

I'm confident this is closely based on 1998 Amblin Entertainment and Columbia TriStar Picture "The Mask of Zorro" which stars Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Mostly because some of the dialouge spoken in this show is straight from that film.

Rumors were that a more elaborate Zorro stunt show MIGHT be made for the old "Wild, Wild, WIld West Stunt Show" Theater. Personally, I'm hoping this will happen. They can add dancing, live music, gymnastics, sword fights, and who wouldn't want to see Zorro with a bullwhip and swinging on a zipline? Many of the Wild West's stunts could easily be transferred for a Zorro stunt show. The plot could easily be a general (main villain) setting up a trap to capture Zorro. But of course, in the end, Zorro will make his great escape. I think it would also be cool if a stage coach was able to ride through the asile between the audience and stage.

Unfortunately, the 2005 sequel "The Legend of Zorro" may have stopped the progress if rumors were true. The sequel really did suffer from bringing in Zorro's child and pressure to make the film more family-friendly. However, 1999's "The Mummy" had a 2001 sequel in "The Mummy Returns" which involved that child more into the plot and became more successful. Just giving an example.

UPDATE: The Wild West Arena is currently being used as a multi-purpose outdoor revenue and a haunt maze for Halloween Horror Nights.
