And they cocked up (I believe the American equivalent is SNAFU) on the characters of Hook and Hitch in the film. Hitch was shall we say a bit of a lad, whereas Hook was in fact a teetotaler. At the premiere of the film in Cardiff one of Hooks daughters stormed out in disgust at the portrayal of her father.

The germanic cheer in ZULU, before the battle by the Zulu's, is echoed in Gladiator apparently. Also the regiment was the Warwickshire and not as many Welsh as portrayed. John Sargeant did mention a Land Rover might be in the background of one shot-not sure how true that is. I do know that Stanley Baker was once considered for the role of James Bond.

Thumbs up It's just a question of scale

Just found this from a NASA link
Amazing interactive universe, click Start, then slide the scale at the bottom of the page
and/or click on objects for extra details

Explanation: What does the universe look like on small scales? On large scales? Humanity is discovering that the universe is a very different place on every proportion that has been explored. For example, so far as we know, every tiny proton is exactly the same, but every huge galaxy is different. On more familiar scales, a small glass table top to a human is a vast plane of strange smoothness to a dust mite -- possibly speckled with cell boulders. Not all scale lengths are well explored -- what happens to the smallest mist droplets you sneeze, for example, is a topic of active research -- and possibly useful to know to help stop the spread of disease. The above interactive flash animation, a modern version of the classic video Powers of Ten, is a new window to many of the known scales of our universe. By moving the scroll bar across the bottom, you can explore a diversity of sizes, while clicking on different items will bring up descriptive information.

Yup, Ridley Scott loved Zulu so he included it in Gladiator as an homage.

Peter Jackson is another fan,the Battle of Helm's Deep in LOTR The Two Towers is based on the battle scenes in Zulu.

Did you know it's not possible to continue drinking beer whilst simultaneously sneezing?

I've proved this a few times this afternoon.
