Ben Dover Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Aye .........SHED but anyway, the other one I suspect is Zulu Dawn Absolute Turkey of a movie and should not be mentioned in the same breath as the 1964 - Stanley Baker / Michael Caine / Jack Hawkins classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Aye .........SHED but anyway, the other one I suspect is Zulu Dawn Absolute Turkey of a movie and should not be mentioned in the same breath as the 1964 - Stanley Baker / Michael Caine / Jack Hawkins classic Turkey? It was fairly factual and accurate and because it described a defeat, was not popular. Zulu was a better film even though it had many inaccuracies but Zulu Dawn was not bad at all.

SlyNB Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Best quote in a film ever; Colour Sergeant Bourne: It's a miracle. Lieutenant John Chard: If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a short chamber Boxer Henry point 45 caliber miracle. Colour Sergeant Bourne: And a bayonet, sir, with some guts behind Classic.

After Hookie kills loads of Zulus in the burning hospital, saves many wounded men and then as a reward to himself, breaks into a cabinet and slugs a bottle of booze is told: "That's a flogging offence!" Good old British army at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Turkey? It was fairly factual and accurate and because it described a defeat, was not popular. Zulu was a better film even though it had many inaccuracies but Zulu Dawn was not bad at all. Couldn't agree more. If memory serves Stanley Baker was not happy with the inaccuracies in Zulu and produced Zulu Dawn with his salary. The Zulu king in "Zulu" is played by Mangosuthu Buthelezi, who became the Minister for Home Affairs in South Africa in 1994. Either I can't take the SA government seriously or the film.

Carl Fredrickson Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Zulu Dawn is a decent enough film that shows the British Army Officers up for the numpties that they were (are?). It also helps in explaining some of the background to the Zulu wars. However, Zulu is a far superior (if annacurate) movie which is in my top 3 of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambojohnnyboy Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I enjoyed the sequel Zululander with that Stiller bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Zulu is the far more entertaining of the two but the least accurate. Zulu Dawn has it's moments though. The bit where the cavalry patrol stumble upon twenty thousand Zulu's, squatting in a big hole, is pretty spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Aye .........SHED but anyway, the other one I suspect is Zulu Dawn Absolute Turkey of a movie and should not be mentioned in the same breath as the 1964 - Stanley Baker / Michael Caine / Jack Hawkins classic Zulu Dawn was at least historically accurate in depicting the blunderings of the initial invasion of Zulu land. The Stanley Baker/Michael Caine epic was, however, a far more entertaining movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
