Zulu 2: Zulu Harder


Zulu Dawn (1979)

Directed by Douglas Hickox this film stars Peter O'Toole, Burt Lanchaster, Sir John Mills and Denholm Elliot. In 1879 a British column is set to launch an invasion of Zulu land in South Africa.

Made 15 years after Zulu (1964) this attempt at a prequel has an all star cast and a fairly large budget. While the script is again provided by Cy Endfield this time the direction really lets it down in comparison to the original. While the scenery provides a great back drop to the film the all important battle is too small a part of the film and really suffers from now having a more detailed view.

2/5
