The entire opening sequence with Diego de la Vega in his heyday as Zorro. It's a blast to see him in action taking on the odds to save three innocent men.
Alejandro and Joaquin taking down a bunch of soldiers with a well placed statue to help Zorro.
As part of his plan to escape prison, Diego strangles one of the prison keepers with only one hand.
The sheer fact that Diego devises a plan to escape, and starts putting it into action, in about 10 minutes when he learns that Rafael Montero has come back to California, making himself reacheable for Diego's revenge. The Count of Monte Cristo needed months to plan and pull off such an escape.
Watching Alejandro go from a very scruffy horse thief to the most charming man in the world.
Three-Fingered Jack's short but vitriolic "Reason You Suck" Speech against the assembled Dons visiting Monterro's secret gold mine, right before trying to personally end Captain Love.
Captain Love: Ignore him, gentlemen. He's a common thief. Three-Fingered Jack: Ha! As common as they come, but I ain't nothin' compared to you "gentlemen". I steal money, I steal gold, but you? You steal people's lives! So damn ya! And damn the horse that brung ya!
The epic shot of the giant Z burning into the countryside, as a way for Diego to let Rafael know that He's Back!
After giving them some more headaches, Captain Love tries to calm Don Rafael by pointing out they have superior numbers. While Don Rafael points out how much an idiot the captain is for making such a boast.
Captain Love and Don Rafael are both depicted as swordsmen able of going toe-to-toe with Zorro. During his infiltration of Don Rafael's mansion, Alejandro briefly duels them both - at the same time! The entire sequence is one for Alejandro who shows off his improved skills and worth as the new Zorro, whipping out superb stealth, swordsmanship and clever tactics to trounce Rafael, Love and ALL their guards.
Zorro (Alejandro) and Elena fighting as equals when the latter encounters the former in her stables. It reaches a point where Zorro has to think smart in order to beat her at her own game.
Their impassioned make-out binge deserves a mention. The music and extraordinary passion put into the kiss is pretty damn breathtaking.
Doubles as a Moment Of Awesome for Elena who finally got to kiss her bad boy crush. Plus it seemed better than she'd dreamed.
Fridge-Awesome: It seems Elena inherited her mother's spirit and her father's sword-fighting skills. What would you expect from the daughter of the original Zorro (Don Diego)?
When Don Diego tries to coerce Don Rafael at sword point to tell Elena the truth (and he just keeps spouting morelies), Elena asks them what her nanny used to hang over her crib to see who's lying and who's telling the truth. At one point, upon surrendering to live another day, Don Diego tells her it was flowers, right down to the type of flowers they were. These words nail home that despite all his efforts, Don Rafael couldn't hide the truth from Elena:
Don Diego: She knows.
Elena coming to save Don Diego when he's held captive by Don Rafael.
When both Zorros are stuck fighting their archenemies, Elena runs through the burning wreckage of the mine to shoot off the locks and free the trapped workers. Then when she runs out of bullets she just starts Pistol-Whipping the locks, determined to get everyone out. Luckily Alejandro arrives and helps her free them all with moments to spare.
