Book Reviews of the Zulu
Customer Review: Lt. Chard: "I came here to build a bridge."
Summary: 5 Stars
This specific GOODTIMES VHS (cover photo of Michael Caine in white helmet) is recorded at LP speed. It tracks poorly in a well-maintained VCR. The source film print has good sound and color, no jumps or splice breaks, but at times multiple scratch lines appear and linger for beyond a minute.
In this epic's opening titles, Michael Caine is billed with "introducing" despite his having been in many previous movies, including five credited roles.
ZULU is the true story of a garrison of less than 140 British (Welsh) troopers who in January of 1879 successfully stand at Rourke's Drift against an army of 4,000 South African natives. Once they begin, attacks are relentless and terrifying. Commanding officer John Chard (Baker) later gives credit for their not being overwhelmed and decimated to the Henry short chamber rifle, but the truth is, it was the stout heart and determination of these soldiers that prevailed, when previously 1,500 of their comrades had fallen.
One of the greatest war movies ever made, this is an unforgettable tribute to some of the bravest men to ever take up arms for Queen and country.
"Zulu" is available on DVD.
