Facts about

In the real battle for Rorke's Drift on which this film was based, only 17 British soldiers were actually killed.
Director Cy Endfield wanted a camera crane that was lightweight when disassembled so that it could be packed and transported through the African bush. Ken Eddy designed the first Filmair Giraffe camera crane for the job and in so doing began the world's best known camera crane company. This key piece of film gear is still used in the movie industry.
A new set of lyrics for the Welsh Anthem "Men of Marlech" was written just for this film. People still mistake this version of MOH for the "Original". The "Zulu Film Lyrics" are:Men of Harlech, stop your dreaming:Can't you see the spearpoints gleamingSee the warrior pennants streamingO'er the battle fieldMen of Harlech, stand ye steadyIt can not be ever said yeFor the battle were not ready --Welshmen never yield!From the hills reboundingLet this war cry soundingSummon all at Cambria's callThe mighty foe surrounding --Men of Harlech, on to gloryThis will ever be your story:Keep these burning words before ye --Welshmen will not yield!
