Zorro is a 1975 Italian-French "swashbuckler" adventure movie directed by Duccio Tessari and starring Alain Delon.
The following weapons were used in the film Zorro (1975):
Handguns
Percussion Cap Pistol
In several scenes Spanish officers carry Percussion Cap Pistols. Zorro (Alain Delon) once is seen with a pistol. It's worth noting that the pistols are fitted with flint jaws and locking screw, along with a frizzen spring on the side of the lock plate. Possibly these movie props are convertible for using as flintlock or caplock according to the needs of moviemakers.

Long Guns
Charleville-style Flintlock Musket
Spanish infantry soldiers are armed with flintlock muskets in French Charleville Mousquet style. They appear to be modern replicas of Spanish manufacture (the movie was filmed in Spain).
For comparison: Charleville Mousquet Modele 1777 - .69 caliber
Soldiers of Sgt. Garcia's unit hold muskets.
Soldiers surrender their muskets when Garcia is under the edge of Zorro's rapier.

Unidentified Flintlock Musket
Another version of musket is also used by soldiers. It looks like more modern version, like Enfield Pattern 1853 except the screen guns are definitly flintlock.
For comparison: Enfield 1853 - .577 Ball

Snider-Enfield style Percussion Cap Cavalry Carbine
Spanish lancers are armed with percussion cap carbines that also appear to be modern replicas. The base gun could be Snider-Enfield.

Flintlock Cavalry Carbine
Some carbines are fitted with flintlocks while the shape of the stock and barrel is the same with caplock carbines.
A flintlock carbine is seen close at the left in the scene of the arrest of Brother Francisco.
Asian musket
What appears to be some kind of Asian musket, possibly of Indian design (similar in shape with Indian Torador musket but looking more like flintlock rather than matchlock), is seen on the wall in arsenal.
A pair of Asian muskets are seen on the wall at the right, used as decoration. Next to them are equally Indian Patas gauntlet-swords.
