This film is pretty much a very well executed battle scene. The film shows, in a rather ironic way, how the "gallant" British, the ones who "gave civilization to the African barbarian tribes, in small numbers defended the honor of the civilized world against a massive African barbarian horde that seeks to destroy the British forces and hence the light brought by the British Empire into this forsaken land. But thanks to our gallant soldiers, who killed dozens of barbarians for every man lost, the victory was ours and, hence, it was a victory in the name of civilization and progress."
Yes, it is a very propaganda like film and the fun one has when watching this film is how cartoonish the British soldiers and their African enemies look and act. With their heavy accent and their discipline and their ludicrous red uniforms that don't make any military sense at all, this film is one huge barrel of fun.
