Zulu (Michael Caine) description "Sentries have come in from the hill, sir.... They report Zulus to the southeast. Thousands of them." One of the best pure action movies ever made, this rousing adventure recounts the true story of a small 18th-century regiment of British troops (including a very blue-blooded turn by a young Michael Caine) endlessly besieged by an seemingly unceasing number of fierce attackers. Although the basic premise has since been executed with more technical skill and panache (most notably by Aliens and Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans), it's unlikely that anything will ever top the utter spectacle and, above all, sheer unbelievable size of the combat scenes that almost wholly comprise the last half of this film. A gloriously exhilarating essential for anyone looking to get lost in the heat of cinematic battle, topped off with a healthy dose of gallows humor. Not to be missed. Richard Burton voiced the stirring narration. Zulu was followed by a slightly dry but still recommended prequel, Zulu Dawn. --Andrew Wright |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | TWO DISC ZULU SPECIAL EDITION |
| This is one of the best war films ever made and on this DVD you have the added bonus of an informative documentary that explains all you could need to know about it's making.
What comes across from watching this documentary is that ZULU is Stanley Baker's film. He was the star and producer. Without Stanley there would have been no Michael Caine. Without Stanley there would have been no ZULU. So to my point: Why is Michael Caine solely brandished on the front of the DVD box cover art? His name is the only one that is mentioned. Have the movie going public forgotten Stanley Baker? I mean, he only made 115 movies! Michael Caine was an unknown when Stanley Baker cast him. I feel this does an injustice to the film as a whole. I would like to see a little more respect shown to the creator of this film. As Chief Buthelezi said when Stanley died - "He was the best white man I ever knew." |
