warguy Posted March 23, 2023 Share #3 Posted March 23, 2023 Love it! Thought a lot about Zulu last week as I toured the Lord Ashcroft VC collection at the Imperial War Museum London. Must have drooled over Chards VC for a half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warguy Posted March 24, 2023 Share #6 Posted March 24, 2023 8 hours ago, patches said: I Say Chard Old Boy, Jolly Good Show I think a few of these classics are timeless, Battle of Britain, Zulu, The Great Escape and some others posted here I think will stand the test of time as romanticized depictions of these great struggles. For those interested, Stanley Baker was so impressed by the real John Chard that he actually acquired Chards Victoria Cross not long after the movie was filmed and had it in his possession for quite a while. Oooh, to earn the salary of an actor, although I am sure it was much less expensive back then than it is worth today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Barickman Posted March 26, 2023 Share #13 Posted March 26, 2023 That was in the beginning of the movie, was it something Bob Hoskins calls him out for not paying attention for something and makes him run around with his rifle over his head repeating something like, " I love my colored sergeant more than I love you" or like that. The Lord who has lived among the Zulus shows up and shows everyone his expert shot techniques by hitting a butchered cow and the kid thinks he is hit and falls to the ground and Hoskins calls out to him," private, you stopped." Probably have the actor's name wrong but great movie. I used this movie and the Sand Pebbles when I taught about latter 19th century imperialism.
