    I think I read that the Zulus in this battle were the reserve for Isandlwana battle and were not to engage even after the battle. They did and then found it extremely frustrating trying to break the lines iof a well defended fort. There were also no hills and it was mostly flat and barren but Cy Enfield wanted the hills for the cinemaography. In general the Zulus were coerced into the Zulu War in the first place by the British who sought total donimation.

    • @BigBWolf90
      @BigBWolf90 Місяць тому +4

      Yes but king Cetshwayo had given orders not to attack the British unless they crossed the border into Zululand. That's why the Battle of Isandlwana happened. However Cetshwayo's half brother Dabulamanzi kaMpande was irked at being in the reserve & wanted glory for himself so he pushed on into British occupied territory in South Africa & attacked at Rorke's Drift which was all the excuse the British government needed to go in officially declaring war & completely crush the Zulu kingdom

    If any of you have seen the original "Gladiator" movie and remember the build-up to the opening battle scene, then you might notice that Ridley Scott's sound design guy stole the sound from THIS movie and put it in "Gladiator." Which of course means that Zulu warriors were vacationing in Germany and just happened to passing through, I guess. I laugh every time I hear it.

    I did research for this film and apparently because of budget restrictions there were only 300 Zulus who were actually employed for the battle scenes but due to clever cinematography and editing it seemed that there were more taking part.I dare say if the film were remade today there would be 1000's of more Zulus on the payroll to give it more of an authentic feel.

      You can see in some scenes where they constructed boards to look like lines of Zulu's in the far away shots and in the background. They did an amazing job of making it look like there were 1000's attacking or waiting to attack.
      Compared to a film like 1970's Waterloo where they actually used 1000's of soldiers in costumes it's quite a contrast. Both films had showed epic numbers but they were made very differently. The Waterloo set must have been quite the thing to see in all it's grandeur spectacle.
