So you think you know the Films Zulu & Zulu Dawn.

I thought I might pick some photos from the films Zulu & Zulu Dawn to see if the members can recall what is being said. I will add a photo everynight for a week starting today.

Lets Start off easy.

What words was Melvill shouting in this scene?

Does it have to be the exact wording.

Hi Gary :lol!: I think that was our old friend Bob Hoskins who said that. ("marking targets" )

24th That would help.

Can't remember the exact words, but something about a dead paper hanger - someone says something along the lines of "it's sad" Bourne butts in and settles them -

hi littlehand.
Not sure with this one , is it Chard"s reply to Bourne , " If its a miracle , its a short chamber boxer- henry
.45 calibre miracle ".
cheers 90th.

and Bourne replies "with some guts behind it ! "

Posts : 600 Join date : 2010-01-07 Location : UK

Hi i think he says
LT CHARD: Colour seargant, carry on building the inner redoubt
CS Bourne:Sir

thanks joe

I think Bournes saying "that was never out" and Chard replies " caught in the slips, definitly out"

Subject: so you think you now. Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:55 am

Is this not the part, where chard is saying take some men to support the south wall, and Brourne he asking how many Odds or even numbers. Something along those lines

Mr G

I will go along with that Mr G. Just after Bourne runs towards the Ramparts taking everyother man.

Mr G Correct.

Another one.

Easy!!!!

I'm sure that this is where the Zulu's start signing -

He says something like they have lovely baratones?, but no mid section??

Subject: so you think you now. Sun Mar 14, 2010 5:37 am

hi littlehand .
I think its after what cisco says, I"m certain its the start of " Men Of Harlach " By the look of Owen"s lips he seems to be
humming . Idea

cheers 90th

90th "Starts humming" Correct. Idea

Hi
Bourne says 'And a bayonet with some guts behind it'

thanks joe

Posts : 187 Join date : 2010-02-04

I can't work this out - I thought that it was when Witt went crazy and Bourne said "all right then, noby told you to stop working", but I guess everyone would have had their tunics offf... It looks like this is pre-battle, everyone looks too clean!

Subject: so you think you now. Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:11 am

hi littlehand.
I"m with joe , The bayonet line with some guts behind it. Ciscokid if you enlarge the image you can see the
bloodstain on the webbing belt under the binocular strap of Chard , and also Bromheads and Chards top
buttons on their tunics are undone , If I remember correctly Chard"s top button isnt undone till he is wounded .
As for Bromheads button not sure when he undoes his , possibly in the morning while talking to Addendorff.
cheers 90th.

All correct. Idea
