Peter was originally approached to work on this film at a very early stage in its
      development. At the time, 'Desperado' director Robert Rodriguez was at the helm
      and they met several times as Robert's vision developed. In the end, Robert moved
      on to other projects and Martin Campbell stepped up to the plate, flushed with the
      success of his Bond film 'Goldeneye'.

      In its new guise, 'The Mask Of Zorro' had Peter's friend and colleague Bob Anderson
      in charge of the swordplay. Peter and Bob had worked together on numerous projects
      through the years, with one employing the other, or recommending work on. But Peter
      stayed on the film a while longer, and spent several weeks at the London residence of
      Sir Anthony Hopkins, where he taught him some basic sword skills. And apparently they
      got on rather well; Mr. Hopkins being a down-to-earth Welshman at heart, and Peter
      being a down-to-earth Maccam!

      By the way, Peter was previously the stunt arranger on New World's 'Zorro' tv series,
      which starred Duncan Regehr and Patric Camhi. He also directed several episodes and
      appeared as Zorro's fencing master, Sir Edmond Kendall.
