Revealing mistake: In the burning barn, watch closely when Zorro goes to jump on the horse. There's a low angle shot of his feet running up to the horse, and a piece of burning wood lands in the foreground. The fire on top of the burning wood is burning upwards like normal fire. However, the fire on the side of the board is somehow burning upside-down, with the fire moving downwards. Seems to be a slip-up in the digitally-added fire effect. It goes by quick, so slow-motion helps, but is not required.

Revealing mistake: Watch closely when Zorro's horse bursts into the burning barn. The visual effect is comical. It, along with some debris in the air, simply appears between frames in an unrealistic way.

Deliberate mistake: In the beginning of the film, the horse-drawn carriage driven by McGivens is able to crash through a brick pillar and keep moving forward... yet just one minute later in the scene, it's flipped and destroyed by a rope attached to a flimsy wooden spool. There's no consistency to the strength of the carriage.

Continuity mistake: After the train explodes at the end, you see a closeup of Zorro and Elena behind a small stone wall. Zorro is covering Elena, and his head is to her left and he has his hand against the wall. However, when the camera cuts to a wideshot, suddenly his head is to her right and his hand is no longer on the wall.
