Rights
In the US, Zulu briefly lapsed into the public domain, meaning there have been several issues of the film on home video/Laserdisc/DVD in North America — most notably an LD release by The Criterion Collection which retains the original stereophonic soundtrack and taken from a 70mm print.
An official DVD release (with a mono soundtrack as the original stereo tracks were not available) was later issued by Embassy's successor-in-interest, StudioCanal (with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer handling video distribution). StudioCanal (the current owner of the Embassy theatrical library) had acquired US distribution of the film in 2000 after its copyright was restored. Sony Pictures Television owns TV and digital distribution rights to the film in the US.
The film has been released on Blu-ray in the UK; however, this version is region-free and will work in any Blu-ray player.
Outside the USA, the film has always been distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Famous quotes containing the word rights:
“...I know nothing of man’s rights, or woman’s rights; human rights are all that I recognise.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“Is a Bill of Rights a security for [religious liberty]? If there were but one sect in America, a Bill of Rights would be a small protection for liberty.... Freedom derives from a multiplicity of sects, which pervade America, and which is the best and only security for religious liberty in any society. For where there is such a variety of sects, there cannot be a majority of any one sect to oppress and persecute the rest.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“When we lose love, we lose also our identification with the universe and with eternal values—an identification which alone makes it possible for us to lay our lives on the altar for what we believe.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 3, ch. 2 (1962)
