This film was basically the TropeMaker for the whole ''Franchise/{{Zorro}}'' franchise. It was based on the first ''Zorro'' story, "The Curse of Capistrano", published just the year before, but that story featured a Zorro who wore a sombrero and threatened people with a gun. This film invented the masked swordsman that became popular. It also marked a change in direction for Fairbanks, who had spent his career to date making light comedies but would spend the rest of TheRoaringTwenties making elaborate action films.

!!''The Mark of Zorro'' provides examples of:
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Take Franchise/{{Batman}}, move him to Spanish California, and remove the tragic dead parents, and you have this story. The writers of Batman even acknowledged the similarities: the film the Wayne family were coming home from when they got mugged was ''The Mark of Zorro''.
* AttemptedRape: Captain Ramon is clearly about to rape Lolita when Zorro breaks in.
* TheBigDamnKiss: The final shot has Don Diego and his Love Interest smooching behind a kerchief. While their faces are concealed, the woman's hands flutter and contort in a way that suggests it's much more than a modest peck on the cheek...
* TheBladeAlwaysLandsPointyEndIn: Always, like when Don Diego is challenging Captain Ramon to a duel.
* CallingCard: Zorro leaves the "Z" everywhere. See ZorroMark below.
* {{Flynning}}: Fifteen years before [[Creator/ErrolFlynn the Trope Maker]], Douglas Fairbanks had perfected the art of colorful sword duels.
* HeelFaceTurn: Downplayed when Gonzales rebels against Ramon and joins Zorro at the very last second after witnessing that his true identity is that of his friend Don Diego de la Vega and, mostly, [[OpportunisticBastard that he's surrounded by rebels, all of them persons of noble heritage and noted prestige]].
* HorsebackHeroism: Zorro is good on a horse.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Zorro can slice a Z on your forehead with one movement, or carve an entire letter to the authorities into the bark of a tree.
