"This movie is the exact same as the MGM version being sold at a much higher price. Save yourself some money. Zulu itself is mostly historically accurate, but history has been played with a bit. If you are going to get this movie, get this value version."

"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.
Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.
