To Play This Game, You Will Need-
1. One video/DVD of ?Zulu?
2. Loads of beer per person
(Please watch Zulu responsibly)
Rules:
Firstly, fast-forward 1 hour (mostly because it does go on a bit in the beginning and it looks funny in fast-forward.) There is a noteworthy scene in the beginning involving hundreds of semi-naked women, which you may want to stop and peruse.
Take Sides-You can drink for the historically inaccurate Welsh, or the Zulu. The main rule is that you take a drink every time one of the enemy dies, or when one of your own side is killed. If you have chosen the Welsh, you will need to be able to put it away, given how many Zulu?s bite the dust (plus, the Welsh are great drinkers, you don?t want to let the side down.) When the Welsh drink, they have to shout ?YACHY-DOR? and when the Zulu?s drink, they must shout ?ZULU?
Other times to drink are-
o When the missionary, played by Jack Hawkins, rides off into nowhere shouts ?YOU?RE ALL GOING TO DIE!? both sides drain your glasses.
o When the obligatory ?Why?? scene from all 60?s war films appears, when someone asks ?why, why, WHY?? to excuse the fact that it?s war, and there is really no point at all. Both sides take a drink and take time to ponder why.
o Drink whenever the action cuts to the film set in Twickenham and we are plainly no longer on the South African velt.
o Whenever Michael Cain speaks, both sides drink, if only to celebrate him making such a great effort with his strangulated voice.
o Drink every time someone DOESN?T swear like a trooper would. For example ?damn?, ?blast?, ?flaming? (you get the picture)
o Any time there is gratuitous Welshness, Welshery or Welshitude. It may be Welsh blokes singing Welshly, Welsh men cursing the English, for no other reason that they?re English or simply looking because they?re not in Wales, or just because they?re Welsh (there is no shortage of this throughout).
o Hook, nicknamed ?Hooky? (God bless the British Army) goes to extraordinary lengths to get at the brandy in the medical cupboard, when he finally does, drain your glass.
o When the cattle are released pointlessly, though it maybe to resemble a Western, therefore, being more comprehensible to Americans, many Zulu?s die. Seeing as these Zulu?s are killed by cattle, both sides must take a drink for each Zulu killed.
o Towards the end of the movie, many talk about how thirsty they are, take a drink, you can!
o If you?re on the Zulu?s side, sing when the Zulu?s do. Sing whatever you like, they seem to be. Take a drink.
o If you?re on the side of the Welsh, by all means join in but you must drink. ?Welshmen never yield? and so on. For all they know, the Zulu?s could be shouting ?You?re shit, aaaarrrr?.
o When Michael Cain says he?s ashamed, drain your glass, if only because he?s right.
o Have a drink when at any point, you may have said ?Oh, Christ!?
o Both sides have a drink each time a VC nomination is read out (it?s all about the valour)
o The winner, not unlike the film, will be the last one standing among the deluge of twitching casualties.
