When you watch Zulu again be sure to keep a sharp eye out for the wrist watches on the arms of the native fighters.

"Zulu"... 1964...

Evidence mounts that Hrundi V. Bakshi was not the first extra to be wearing a wristwatch while filming on location.

Also note that some of the weapons used by the British troops are anachronistic. They couldn’t get enough Martini rifles, so a number of the troops in long shots are using Lee Enfield rifles with the magazines removed. Also, the commanding officer uses a Webley Mk VI revolver (a World War I model).

Minor nitpicks of a great film.
