On TV at the Weekend they were advertising a special 2 disc dvd of Zulu!

.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!

I was looking at it in HMV the other day, there is no mention of a restored print or superior visual quality on the packaging which is dissapointing considering the movie was shot on a slightly larger format negative than standard 35mm, so there is potential for superb quality of transfer,so Im assuming this special edition is the same visual quality as the previous DVD release a few years back which is not that great in my opinion. Also,this special edition has the same audio commentary as the last and sadly no contribution from Michael Caine. I love the film but I won't be buying this new release unless Im wrong about the quality of the transfer. The Bond films have been restored umpteen times for new editions so at least there is an improvement in quality in each release so why not on ZULU? I could be wrong but I would have thought if it had been restored and improved upon, that fact would be mentioned on the packaging and used as a selling point.

Well, bought the new dvd but haven't had chance to view it yet; quite like the poster though. I did see a post on the rorkesdriftvc website from someone who has looked at it and says it has been restored, apparently very vivid colours, they seem to have made a good job of it. Just need to get the wife to go out so I can take a look at it myself.

I have the DVD and watched it many times but just like 'Battle of Britain' , ' A Bridge Too Far' or 'Memphis Belle' when it's shown on TV I never miss it.

One of the VC holders of Roukes Drift is buried in a local cemetery in a PAUPERS grave a sad indictment though it's has been revered in recent years. The original inscription didn't say VC but that was added sometime in the 1980's

Definitley one of the movie GREATS
