No matter how it was portrayed it was a remarkable battle from both sides and all VC were earned.


Wonder if these saddos with nowt better to do would also like to ban Zulu Dawn, the prequel to Zulu where 1500 British soldiers where overwhelmed and killed by Zulus at the Battle of Isandlwana in 1879?

Don't think so somehow because, probably according to them, that part of the Zulu wars was obviously more `accurate`.

Re: 'Zulu' is racist....

It is a sad fact that there are some people in this country who would like to erase certain things that they don't like from history. There are clearly some of them on here.

They seem to think that if they should long enough and loud enough they can change history; they can pretend that some things never happened. Worse, they seem certain that they can persuade the authorities to make the discussion of the things they hate illegal.

So one has to ask why do you come on to this forum?
Do you have anything better to do?

Yes, it is. We watched it last week, also Bridge over the River Kwai.

No, of course it didn't.

There was a full armoured division supported by jet aircraft loaded with napalm and anti-personnel bombs.

No wonder we beat a few dozen natives armed only with spears.

Re: 'Zulu' is racist....

I can't believe that anyone would think of banning the films mentioned. But that's liberalism for you. God save us from the lunatic fringe..
