Private Henry Hook: [Throws Sergeant Maxfield across his shoulder] Twenty eight days field punishment! No pay! You know what he did? Sent my money to my Missus.
[Slaps Sereant Maxfield's buttocks]
Private Henry Hook: What did you do that for?


Lieutenant John Chard: I came here to build a bridge.

Facts about

In real life, Pvt. Henry Hook (played by James Booth) was nothing like the hard-drinking, insubordinate, malingering malcontent portrayed in this film. In fact, Hook was never a discipline problem and was known among his fellow soldiers as somewhat of a prude.
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!
Colour Sergeant Bourne, shown as a much older man in the film, was actually only 24 years old during the defense of Rorke's Drift and was the last defender of the post to die - as an honorary Lieutenant Colonel on VE Day, 8th May 1945, at the age of 91.
