| 20th February 2005 | "Zulu Dawn" DVDs any good?
By Peter D.
I know this subject has come up before on the boards, but I'm a bit confused: Are ANY of the "Zulu Dawn" DVDs worth getting (widescreen and good picture quality)? In addition to the single DVD, I've seen ads for a 2-disc set with a disc of outtakes, and another 2-disc set that includes "Ashanti." I tend to be wary of them all. Any advice is greatly appreciated. |

I obtained the single dvd of Zulu Dawn which is all I wanted, I'm not sure about the dvd sets.
The dvd quality is okay and I enjoy watching the film, although I do have the VHS version, I did feel I wanted to update it.
I also purchased the single dvd of Zulu.
Anything more than the actual films I wasn't really interested in, but it really depends on what you are looking for yourself, with regards to the contents of the dvd sets.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, all I care about is the movie itself, also. I just wondered which of the versions out there (if any) has good picture quality and true widescreen (letterboxed) format. |

The copy I have is widescreen and at the bottom of the spine it says Mosaic Entertainment, if that is of any help.

Good morning
i purchased the single disk dvds for both "Zulu" and "Zul" Dawn" and i was thoroughly satisified (both available through amazon.co.uk).
yes,im sure there are factual errors in both films, but they make excellent viewing and i cannot recommend them enough
i have a home theatre system, and the surround sound makes the volley firing WOW .

Thanks for the information, Coll and Mark. |

Unfortunately all the widescreen DVD versions I have seen of Zulu Dawn have had their aspect ratios cropped from the original. My one from Mosaic is cropped from it's original 2.35:1 aspect ratio to 1.78:1, which is a shame. |

Thanks for the reply, Keith. Yes, I thought I had read that about the Mosaic DVD elsewhere -- and I don't suppose there's much reason to think that either of those two-disc sets would be any better. |

Why is Zulu Dawn only on Region 2 DVDs?!?! |

Yank,
Sheldon Hall mentioned in a previous thread that it had something to do with copyright problems. I for one have decided to go ahead and buy an 'all region' or region 2 DVD player as there are many interesting DVDs available only in region 2. (Two of them available from this very site!)
Best
