Michael Caine is Pissed His 1964 Film ‘Zulu’ Has Been Labeled “White Nationalist” By UK Organization

March 9, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

Michael Caine, who is 90, is none-too-happy about a recent UK counter-terrorism report calling his 1964 classic “Zulu” a “white nationalist” movie.

The actor spoke out on his war film being labeled as a “key text” for white nationalists and supremacists in a new research report from Prevent, written by William Shawcross.

Others, including “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” “The Great Escape,” and “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” were among the films listed as art that could inspire extremists.

Even novels weren’t safe in this dubious report, as “The Lord of the Rings,” “Brave New World,” and even Orwell’s “1984” were deemed dangerous. I mean, the irony!

About the organization that did this study, Prevent operates in the “pre-crime space”, on a logic that an action can be prevented before an individual ever intends it. This eerily sounds like “Minority Report.”

Caine told The Spectator that it’s the “biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard,” adding, “There are no films I wish I hadn’t made. I got paid for all of them.”

Set in 1879, “Zulu” tackles the outnumbered British soldiers who did battle with the Zulu warriors at Rorke's Drift. The film even influenced Peter Jackson who mentioned that The Battle of Helm's Deep “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” was filmed in a manner deliberately reminiscent of “Zulu.”
