This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The final battle scene is so POWERFUL. the mighty war-chant from the 4000 zulu warriors is somehow matched by the 60 or so british troops manning Rorke's Drift' hastily put together defences. when 'men of harlech' starts to over power the zulus' singing, they suddenly change the song into a chant....... and charge. the scared yet brave british men watch their charge but don't break song until they are told to fire. even with the mighty firepower delt by the british, the zulu warriors still manage to get into fierce hand to hand combat with the british line. the commanding officer gives an order for the frontline to fall back to an sandbag wall where more british man were hiding behind. FIRST RANK, FIRE. SECOND RANK FIRE. THIRD RANK FIRE. volley after volley. it gets to a point when the soldiers don't have to be told when to fire. when they are told to hold fire, and when the smoke clears, body after body of zulu warriors littered the ground just inches from them. the look in their faces was not a look of joy, but of disdain for what they have done, but they knew it was necessary if they were to live. a few hours after the battle. a horde of zulus' appeared on the horizon. but they were not going to attack, they wanted to salute their bravery and sing a mighty song. then they lift their shields above their heads, turned around and leave, 'saluting fellow braves'.… Expand

A personal favorite of mine. Arguable one of, if not the greatest war film ever made!
