Well? How was the big screen experience, was it a good turn out, print ok?

Damn it man, give me info or I'm sending a pack of wild Dingo's round to your house man!

It had "the cut" in the Scheiss scene - but it was great. The first appearance of the Zulus was spectacular in a way no viewing on television could emulate.
Favourite character? Colour Sergeant Bourne - "And a bayonet, sir....with some guts behind it."

About 40 people in a 200 seat cinema - which is the usual turnout for classics although this crowd was younger than usual. (The Princess Bride had the biggest crowd)

I saw Zulu back in the day, so it was about 55 years between big screen viewings, a record for me.

Blimey, didn't realise that cut happens in revival theatre showings, it's not as if it's earth shattering or anything, especially as some of the earlier DVDs still have it in

Colour Sergeant Bourne - I shall be exalted among the 'eathens... I shall be exalted in the Earth. The brilliant Nigel Green of course, fresh from playing Hercules the year before in Jason and the Argonauts. Ironically he was South African by birth, playing a Brit fighting the Zulu! Died way too young.

My favourite is Hook, rebel yell and crafty, bit like me... I knew he would come good in the end
