About this product

Product Information

Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam epic, loosely based on the novel HEART OF DARKNESS by Joseph Conrad, tells the story of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), a special agent sent into Cambodia to assassinate an errant American colonel (Marlon Brando). Willard is assigned to a navy patrol boat operated by Chief (Albert Hall) and three hapless soldiers (Frederic Forrest, Sam Bottoms, and Larry Fishburne). They are escorted on part of their journey by an air cavalry unit led by Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), a gung-ho commander with a love of Wagner, surfing, and napalm. After witnessing a surreal USO show featuring Playboy playmates, and an anarchic battle with the Viet Cong at a bridge, Willard reaches Colonel Kurtz's compound. A crazed photojournalist and Kurtz groupie (Dennis Hopper) welcomes the crew, and Willard begins to question his orders to "terminate the colonel's command." The grueling production and Coppola's insistence on authenticity led to vast budget overruns and physical and emotional breakdowns. Considered to be one of the best war movies of all time, APOCALYPSE NOW features skilled performances and beautifully chaotic visuals that make it a powerful, unforgettable work.This collection presents both the 1979 original and the 2001 restored and updated version, with 49 minutes of never-before-seen footage, a Technicolor enhancement, and a six-channel soundtrack.

  • Vietnam War on LSD

    The Complete Dossier is both versions of this great Vietnam film. It's a neat case as well showing scenes and quotes from the movie. It's both discs in a cardbord case (that looks like a small dossier) lol. Disc 1 has Part 1 of both versions; the Disc 2 has Part 2 of both versions as it's such a lengthy movie, but not boring or repetitous. If you've seen it before you know the plot, and the Redux version, has some nude scenes of the hot Playboy Bunnies at the concert! Yaaa ... This is a violent and repulsive War movie as told (narrated) from the eyes of an Assassin, (Martin Sheen) whom in real life had a heart attack, and may have been the only sane member of the Cast or Crew. They tried to use real cadavers which led to doped and drugged film Crew being arrested, Brando was too fat to film etc. This film is both beautiful (filmed in Philippines) and utterly horrifying, not for the squeamish. "One day this war is going to end"...

  • One of the type things that could or do go on in wars and different countries.

    Product was in excellent shape but I watched it many years ago and I did not recall Martin killing him I thought they blew them up so was different. Am older now so not quite the same impact as seen things but still well made movie. Thanks!

  • Refreshing the memory

    I have always wanted to see Apocalypse Now in one sitting. It is an awesome movie with interesting messages. There was one scene ( of many ) that had a famous quote ( never get out of the boat ) that I heard in another show and it was a metaphor used to describe what happened. The DVDs played flawlessly and I'm pleased that they are now in my library.

  • A True Rememberance.....

    I served in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive of the North Vietnamese in 1968. When I first saw this monumental movie, I had flashbacks from my time there. Coppola has brought all the elements of genius production together in this film. The music....the ambience....the tragedy of the war. I was left with a feeling somehow of isolation and numbness ot both Willard and Kurtz, the two main characters of the film. The river traveled being the journey through the deepest parts of their souls. One must see this film. It will if nothing else, leave you searching yourself and what makes you "tick"........

  • A Vietnam Classic!

    A Vietnam Classic, you can tell a lot of time and effort was put into this picture; I'mn sure sometimes they wondered if it would ever get finished; with all the challenges, they faced; but worth the effort! Tony D.

  • The ultimate Apocalypse.

    If you love and are interested in this film, you should have this version. Unlike the Blu Ray, it contians the long "French Plantaton" scene, which you should see if you love this film, To me, the longer version the better!!

  • Apocalypse Now.

    The Director did this, The Godfather, Scarface. All amazing movies. The long version included the French rubber plantations, and their mindset. It was cut to reduce run time.

  • Apocalypse why?

    Had I known the movie was split in to 2 disk, I wouldn't have bought it. Half the movie on one disk, half on the another? That's just stupid. This should be put in the description!
