(Republic, 1937) Complete script, 322 pp, in protective hardcover binding. Zorro Rides Again is often cited by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg as inspiring the creation of character, Indiana Jones, and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Indeed, in addition to spirit, the twelve-part, Saturday morning, action-packed serial from Republic studios contains many direct similarities - from the hero’s full use of a bullwhip in resolving many a predicament, to the exciting chase transfer from a horse to a speeding cargo truck - a shot, compositionally, almost identical, in homage. Of Raiders, George Lucas specifically refers to this recreated stunt as being his favorite, as it “was the inspiration for the whole series in the end.”
