On the theme of **Frontiers...2 movies which give great coverage of a low and high point in British Military history concerning the Zulu wars .


**Zulu Dawn..with Burt Lancaster ,Peter O'Toole covers the massacre of the 24th regiment on the slopes of Isandlawana.

* Zulu the 1964 version covers the famous stand of the 24th at Rorke's Drift.

Zulu is available now on DVD...what makes this a great choice is the color enhancement over the VHS..aswell as the soundtrack which highlights the drama .

Vidcaps from Zulu:


Damn the levies man... Cowardly blacks! (Bromhead)

What the hell do you you mean, cowardly blacks? They died on your side didn't they? And who do you think is coming to wipe out your little command? The grenadier guards!? (Adendorff)


He's right! Why's it us eh? Why us? (Pte. Cole)

Because we're 'ere lad! Nobody else. Just us. (CS Bourne)


Mr. Chard Sir! Patrol has come back, Zulus have gone, all of 'em. It's a miracle! (Bourne to Chard)

If it's a miracle Colour Sergeant, it's a short chamber Boxer Henry, point 4-5 caliber miracle. (Chard)

I didn't like Zulu Dawn. But I loved Zulu, one of the great movies IMHO.
