"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 |

Where is the stereo sound? |
Zulu
I am a big fan of the film Zulu, and have owned copies on VHS, laser disc and DVD. This newest edition has the best video of any release, but there is no stereo sound. Even a 6.99 off-brand edition I found a couple of years ago in a bargain bin had stereo sound as did the Criterion laser disc, so the tracks exist. Historical spectacles, especially 70 mm efforts such as Zulu (with a John Barry score no less), loose much of their impact in mono. To at last release a quality wide screen edition of this film but do so lacking its stereo tracks is a questionable decision for a major distributor like MGM. |
