Probably the finest light infantry the world had ever seen the Zulu impies

what is the movie called

Watched this film with my father in the mid 90s, the singing in it and the voices is brilliantly. Kids these days dont watch films like this anymore.

be afraid very afraid

An army of God sings like God, singing from an everlasting deep of inspiration. What a people Zulu was. What a people Zulu shall be! 💪😤🔥🔥🔥

This was a war that shouldn't have happened. We lived in the neighbouring districts, on the Transvaal side. Our people told the British not to provoke this war with the Zulu. And if they did, we told them not to take it lightly. Arrogance and show would not carry the day. We'd fought the Zulus before and we'd learned mutual respect at the price of oceans of blood. It was a very tense time, because living on the border, we continuously feared that the war would spill over into the frontier. Farms had to be evacuated. It very nearly did boil over. Those were truly frightening times. If you walk the battlefields of Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana today you cannot fail to be moved by a sense of profound awareness that something immense had happened at those places. We read history but we do not learn from it.

what was the song they where singing ?

Respect Mama

This is the right horn of the Buffalo 🐃.. They were not ment to be there in the 1st place, they begged Prince Mpande to allow them to cross Manzamnyama which was a river marking the boarder between Natal and Zululand.

Anyone know what they're saying?

But they were real warriors no question. And I respect them for that. As far as I know they still control their land. I am a SCOTTISH patriot. We don't instead were ruled by a gang of effete arseholes. Who is laughing now.

On a kill ratio they were shit.

It’s a great scene but never happened in reality.

The ZULUS showed them the type of humanity their BRITISH oppressors refused to show them.

Does anyone know what it means though? I've wondered since a child

Lyrics?

Chilling to the bone

Just love this film

What's the name of this video

Sacrilege that Ridley Scott lifted this Zulu chant and used it for the attacking German barbarians at the beginning of the film Gladiator

These chants hit your soul. Watched it as a kid in the late 70s and I still get chills today

My all time favourite film, but nothing about it is true!

All this because of land . This land issue seems to be an ongoing issue.

Given overwhelming challenging moments in life… I still hum the tune of the zulus in memory of such bravery…. If only I knew the damn words !

I saw this in 1963 at the RKO Prospect in Park Slope, Brooklyn, aged 12. It was part of a double feature; the second film was "Summer Holiday," also a British production.

The teeny-tiny vacuum visually dry because interest eventually like except a enchanted heron. toothsome, unequal colt

Never trust the British

And what is the name of this movie??

A formidable army, respect to the zulu regiments.

Bit of a Haka going on!!

Abantwana babantu ngathi bayo beka inkosi kanti baqonde ekufeni

I try not to watch war movies.

What was the title of this movie please

An outstanding classic

Husband just passed. John brant. collect. Wrote medal year book. Got medals. From the Zulu. War.dont no what two do.

I remember seeing this as a small child and this scene has stayed with me, the magnificence of that singing, it might be a film dedicated to British fantasies but that a side ,at least the film makers truly highlighted something beautiful of the Zulu culture.

At about 10 got à book on Africa with presenting some of tribes : watusi... masai... zulu were disCribed as warriors Who had no equals tribes in fight later i saw zulu movie and remember what i ve read before.

Moving. But bear in mind that this is a movie and based on the British narrative who in the end defeated the Zulu. History is written by the victors.. Reality is always messier, dirtier and uglier.

Michael Caine trying to act

Shaka Zulu's grandson plays the part as Shaka Zulu in this film, amazing film.

This was actually a great film, regardless of the rights or wrongs of British Imperialism what went down here in terms of humans when faced with a battle for survival against impossible odds makes for a compelling story and movie. Its made me want to watch this again and see if its still as good now as when I watched it first about 30 years ago!

*A few years later and the 'Maxim' gun would've slaughtered the Zulus by the hundreds , if not thousands and the closest they would have come to the encampment was perhaps 100-yards* ___________ *The odd thing being is that is exactly what happened to the British in the 'Great War' of 1914-18*

This is why men rule the world. Ladies:)

It stills sends shivers up my spine

What a film you just had to respect the bravery of the defender and attacker. Truly an epic film

The Zulu warriors are far greater then the greek and Roman Army's they defeated a more advanced army with just spears shields and pure wit magnificent truly magnificent

Incredible chant from one of the best films ever

Brilliant film!

When my son was small we went to watch a local school derby rugby match….When they were going on the field the one schools Zulus in the team chanted a war cry standing in line waiting to run on…… goosebumps!!!!!!! He is now in his last year at same school

They're fighting for the land like everybody else did.. freedom.. you're lucky .. Avatar the movie with all the animals come out of nowhere.. fighting for their freedom maybe someday that might happen.. then again this is the reality of movies and history.. history wins the reality of the heroes lose. Only the big names when you know why.. they never thought they're on the.. safe side.. in the real heroes lose their lives. For what I'll tell you what for freedom.. the real heroes fight for freedom
