Guys we should all rip into John right now! This might be the only chance we get.

YOU NEVER KNEW THAT! SHAME ON YOU SIR!

If I were at a party and you said that, I'd spit out my glass of scotch and rather ferrero roche.
 
i never understood what the re-up with the bunnies was all about. AWESOME - Yes, but i cant put my head around it. that was one crazy scene with the hurricane and the dead body and the crazy bare boobied girl and the nuts around her. i guess my question is how did they get there? help my brain.
 
Another thing that makes Apocalypse Now one of the best movies of all time is all the Marlon Brando stories that go along with it. That guy was a genius and crazy. And what he pulled on Coppola and the whole production only he could do.
- for months he wrote to Coppola that he needed to change the script to fit the character Kurtz better from the book Heart of Darkness and gave recommendations but never actually read the book and finally confessed it to Coppola by saying "i just wanted to see how long you would let me get away with it"
- he said he wouldnt do the flick unless he got a trailer in the middle of the jungle -which was nearly impossible and no one else had - and they finally helicoptered one in for him. as soon as he got on set he grabbed a tent and told the production staff to let the natives sleep in the trailer.
-he was supposed to show up fit and buff, but he showed up fat and bald and improved half his lines like "the horror, the horror"

and many other brilliant stories - poor Coppola -
 
The redux re arranges some of the scenes and it really pissess me off! But the French scenes do add some historical contet to the movie.
