-- Apocalypse Now *SVCD* *READ NFO* - WORKPRINT - FLAiR (http://forum.vcdq.com/showthread.php?threadid=33564)

Thanks Flair for this WONDERFUL movie, in not so great quality. But damn it's werth the 6 cds for it, this movie was GREAT, and should be released with all the extras.

Honestly The Quality I seen in it was not too bad, thanks for the release. And OMG you hit it right on the nose in your NFO, GAY people who post to bitch should just go to the theater and see the movies, instead of bitchin about how gay, bad, or shitty a release is. Ya think ya can do a better job on it, get your ass in the crossfire and go CAM something, till then STFD, and STFU

decent release, but 6 cds?

6/7/?

-ryan

Could they have not transffered to DVD-R? Changing CDs 3 time is more than enough for me! Rizel

soso quality. this movie should be on dvdr

7/8/9

This is a great classic. Was just thinking of this movie the other day. If you have never seen this movie, I highly recommend you do. It's also a great movie title to use while playing sherades.

I haven't gotten this yet, but here is whats on my workingprint that isn't on he redux version.

-A longer opening montage, the entire song "The End" by The Doors is heard. It intercuts longer helicopters/jungle images with Willard in the hotel room in a drunken rage, as well as a scene where he is with a prostitute.

-The scene where Willard is given his assignment is longer and contains much more dialogue. The general informs Willard that the mission is purely voluntary and he can decline it. The general also offers Willard a promotion to major upon completion of the mission. For some reason Colonel Kurtz is referred to in this scene as "Colonel Leeva".

-A brief scene where Willard is introduced to the crew of the Navy P.B.R.

-A much longer first cavalry "Ride of Valkyrie" attack scene. ·A longer playboy bunny's performance. ·Various extended scenes on the boat, and alternate takes and shots.
-Many more songs by The Doors are played throughout the film.

-None of the narration or dossier voiceovers are in this version.

-When the P.B.R. reaches Do-lung bridge, the solider that greets them gives a more detailed explanation of the chaos around the bridge.

-More dialogue between Willard and the photojournalist when they first reach the Kurtz compound. The Journalist reveals that it was HE who was able to get the montangnards to break off their attack on the boat in the previous scene.

-The character of Colby, (the solder who was sent before Willard to kill Kurtz, played by Scott Glenn) has a much more substantial role in this version. As Willard inspects the compound, Colby tells Willard that the night before, NVA soldiers had attacked (which explains all the bodies laying about the compound). Willard then enters Kurtz's house, much to the dismay of the journalist. Willard sees Kurtz empty bed and his medals, also his journal with the inscription "Drop the bomb, exterminate them all" (many of these scenes were in the final version but re-inserted in different places).

-In this version. The first time Kurtz appears is the scene where a mud caked Willard is tied up (seated) to a pole in the rain. Kurtz appears tattooed faced, Willard asks...."Why he is being mistreated?" and tries to bluff his way past Kurtz by telling him that he had just completed a secret mission in Cambodia, and only stopped for supplies. Kurtz says nothing to him, but plants Chef's head in his lap. (Only a portion of this scene was in the original version).

-The scene where Willard meets Kurtz in his bed chamber contains more dialogue....as Kurtz makes it clear that he knows why Willard is there.

-A scene where Kurtz talks to Willard in the bamboo cage. He tells him that Willard is "like the politicians in Washington, they want to win the war, but don't want to be seen as cruel human beings".

-A lengthy scene where the montangnards pick up the bamboo cage (with Willard inside) and poke him with sticks (Lance and Colby participate in this).

-A much longer version of the scene where Kurtz reads the poem "The Hollow Men", intercutting between his reading and the journalist talking with Willard.

-A scene where the journalist meets Willard to tell him that he thinks Kurtz is about to kill him because he took his picture again. During which Colby comes behind the journalist and shoots him three times, killing him. Colby then turns the gun on himself, but before he dies he asks Willard to express affection to his family for him and asks him to kill Kurtz.

-During the assassination scene at the end, before Willard enters Kurtz's home, one of the guards confronts him. Willard picks up a spear to defend himself as the guard picks up a child to shield himself. Willard runs the spear right through the child and into the guard.

simply awesome. bad ass little knick knack to grab. really now point in judging quality, as this release isnt about that. just a cool little piece of movie history that most of us wouldnt have been able to partake of otherwise. kudos.

nice rare release. it doesnt really fit with vcdquality cause in this case quality of the pic and audio is beside the point. the mere release of such a rare print is impressive.

its like an rare original beatles LP. yes, the quality is worse than a cd, but the reason you pay more for it is the rarity of it, not the quality alone.

nice work flair.

Stunning! Ok so its on 6 CD`s and the quality isnt wonderful, but this is a classic and to finally get a work print of the original (as it should have been seen before editing) movie is just awsome!

7/7/8

This is defently a gem, and it has an odd feeling to it when you watch, just like the roswell audtopsy.

thnxx for the great one

Everyone that says "it should have been on a DVD-R"...why not just do it yourself? Sure it takes a couple hours to do but I'd rather do that than switch 6 CDs while watching.

It should be on DVDR, i agree. But stfu with the "i hate changing CDs" bs..What ya really mean to say is "Im too fucking fat and lazy, and a spoiled rotten brat, who cant take fucking 15secs out of my shitty life to change a fucking disc"

Grow up already man. Yall act like changing a cd, is like trying to split the atom.

Anyways, im sure this is nice for collectors or the "i gotta have everything released" crowd. Not for me tho.

The movie rocks, but the quality sucks. There is so much static it sounds like you are listening to it threw a sea shell. The video is so washed out it looks like a abstract painting. Since it been 24 years since this working print first came out I doubt you are going to find a much better source though.

gr8 movie.
Keep it up.


Chain

its so fucking , i am sad i have only 3 cds.
sorry flair i like you but this rel is a sad thing for me.
