I recently bought this because I initially thought it was a well put together package. Unfortunately the poor quality presentation outweighs whatever perceived bargain there was in price. For those of you out there who also notice such things, the problems are:
First, Passport has seen fit to put a logo in the bottom corner throughout each chapterplay. It reads THE ZORRO CLIFFHANGER COLLECTION in yellow, and is there every second.
Second, the opening credits of "Zorro's Fighting Legion" are incomplete. They start a second or two into the song, so instead of hearing, "We ride..." all you hear is "***Ride..." Not only that, the credits are missing from a few chapters as well.
Third, the image quality looks like they're taken from old VHS tapes. This might not bother some collectors out there, and more power to you, but I feel we've gone beyond poor quality copies of these titles by now.
OK, I know some people will say that for the price all those defects are worth it. All I'm saying is that if I knew how the product looked ahead of time, I would have gotten one of the other versions out there instead.

THE ZORRO CLIFFHANGER COLLECTION Three complete action-packed serials! Zorro!The very name means swashbuckling adventure.And Zorro found an excellent venue for his style of action in the cliffhanger serials of the 1930s and '40s.Instead of a feature film, moviegoers were treated to weekly installments of a twelve-episode adventure saga, each chapter ending with the valiant hero facing imminent doom-then "Continued Next Week" informed audiences that if they wanted to find out what happens to their hero, they had to come back for the next thrilling chapter. Zorro slashed, whipped and shot his way through endless perils and numerous dastardly minions before finally defeating the cunning master villain in the end. Now you can experience all the thrills without the week-long anxious waiting for the next chapter. This collection of action-packed serials includes: ZORRO RIDES AGAIN with John Carroll in the title role as a descendent of the original Zorro battling railroad saboteurs in modern day Mexico. ZORRO'S FIGHTING LEGION starring Reed Hadley as the original Zorro fighting a masked villain stirring Indians onto the warpath in 1820s Mexico. ZORRO'S BLACK WHIP featuring a female heroine in Linda Stirling, who dons the black mask to thwart lawless gangs in 1880s Idaho territory.
