You wouldn't like it. It's about Imperialists brutally subduing a peaceful nation.

Oh, yes, the tiger hunt. Thanks for that Steve. I remember the film now.
Africa? I thought the film was completely shot at Pinewood with a lifesize painting of the Drakensberg as a backdrop? |

Talking of backdrops,
I had always thought that the hill featured in the opening "Isandlwana" scene in Zulu looked like a matt painting and had, perhaps, been added to the scene in post production. I was pleasantly suprised when I saw the hill from the Mont aux sources hotel. The set location was just a few hundred metres down the road. Here is a photo of the scene I took in 2002. (click on the photo for the full size.) |

Hi Mel,
Thanks for that. I always thought the mountain used as Isandlwana in "Zulu" was Siphezi. We learn every day. Regards David |

That's where CGI would have been great in 'Zulu Dawn', as for all the other failings in the film, the scenes showing Mt. Isandlwana, would have been stunning, and add what was very much a significant feature on the real battlefield, giving a better sense of the battle's location.
Next film maybe ! Coll |

Bill.
Of course it was, silly me. One has to watch it two thousand times instead of one thousand to let it sink in to the addled brain. Hope you are well. Regards David |
