I had to buy the DVD just to watch it.

But on this thread you get to watch it for FREE.

Or the older version from 1984?


Aloha, Mark
I've never seen the 2012 version, and from the reviews I've seen, I have no desire to.

Besides, the 1984 version gave us...

Might take a look at the new one.

Re-watched the Michael Caine '64 version last week. Recommend.

Just finished Zulu Dawn, recommend both!

Likely best to watch in historical chronological order. IMO.

"Zulu Dawn" 1979 movie being about the Battle of Isandlwana Jan 22nd 1879, Zululand Africa. Catastrophic loss by an invading British force from Natal Africa.

-Then-

"Zulu" 1964 movie about the Battle/Defence at Rorke's Drift. Fought later on the same day. Small British garrison' successful defense of a Mission/Hospital. Unexpected.

Young rancher friend had just bought a Martini rifle (the headline star in these movies in my opinion), and had never seen Zulu. Loaned him my copy (we have "movie night" in our hunt camp) and he said he watched it 3 times in 4 days.

Also, for those who were fortunate enough to attend school when reading was still taught, the very best book regarding the Isandlwana and Rorke battles is "Like Lions They Fought" by Robert B. Edgerton. The title refers to how the Zulu Warriors described the British soldiers. :cool:

As a student of the Custer battle, I became absorbed in the parallel histories of the British conflicts against natives in Africa with our own on this continent in very nearly the same time period. The similarities are uncanny.

Lately, I've been thinking about possibly selling or trading my H&R "Springfield Repo 1873 Carbine".

Sorry. But, I haven't made up my mind yet. Yeah......I procrastinate on such decisions.

Aloha, Mark

PS.....mind you, I didn't say it.....

After seeing that beginning....
I began wondering about the MAT 49. Yeah....I didn't see it but.....
Anyway, that being said, I doubt that it will ever happen (for me).

My DREAM of a MAT 49 was first fueled by this movie.....


And, another good one.

As for the French bolt action (MAS 36) or the semi-auto rifles (MAS 49 or MAS 49/56)? Nah.....I'll pass.

Aloha, Mark
