Fell in love with South Africa

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2000)

I first saw this as a lad in'64 annd ,wow ,that was it.i'd never heard of Zulus or South Africa but was smitten by both.The drama of it all is incredible,massacre,followed by the ferocious Zulu impi crashing against the volley fire of the trapped British redcoats at Rorke's Drift.Awesome stuff.The film has its faults ,the uniforms are too new and not faded,watch out for the odd bolt action rifle.Also they is a Welsh myth about the film.There was as many English and Irish as there was Welsh at Rorke's Drift,infact Bromhead was from my home town of Lincoln where he was presented with a engraved sword on his return .its my favourite movie and can't wait for it to come out on DVD!
