Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Delta56: I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. For a while I owned a set of uniforms used for the movie. Unfortunately they were not screen used, but were rather backup sets. I had documentation from the prop house auction and was able to double my money when I sold them a few years ago. https://i.imgur.com/z5CetFx.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8SE7vPQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kjcuyva.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pt7UoL1.jpg That is awesome....all i've got is a somewhat period correct M79, flak, steel pot, and set of tiger stripes. Considered a separate painted furniture set, but...don't want to paint the rest. Maybe something that comes off easy... |

Colonel Lucas: Your report specifies intelligence/counterintelligence with ComSec I-Corps.
Willard: I'm not presently disposed to discuss these operations, sir. Colonel Lucas: Did you not work for the CIA in I-Corps? Willard: No, sir. Colonel Lucas: Did you not assassinate a government tax collector in Quang Tri province, June 19th, 1968? Captain? Willard: Sir, I am unaware of any such activity or operation... nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in fact exist, sir. |

The highlight of my .mil career was just after the cease fire during Desert Storm. My artillery battery was inside Iraq and we had to run some small op. I was assigned to the TOC and when the Lt. was finishing the briefing he turned and asked me what callsigns we would use. Being an Apocalypse Now nerd I said that the TOC would be "Almighty" and the movement element would be "PBR Street Gang". The movement team wasn't 5 minutes out of camp when I jumped on the radio. "PBR Street Gang this is Almighty, radio check over." My military career was complete.

To me the scene at the beginning when Willard is being briefed in the trailer during lunch is one of the best scenes of any movie, ever. The general, GD Spradlin, was just outstanding. The way he recounts his relationship with Kurtz is some of the finest acting I've ever seen. You can tell he's terribly wounded about the situation. I actually am not much of a fan of the playgirls at the firebase scene where they get laid. The French plantation chapter is great cinema.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TxLawDog: We must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig... cow after cow... village after village... army after army... "Insurance salesman after insurance salesman." A line from a parody set in San Francisco. This is a movie that really speaks to me. I was stuck in Reno Nevada for 4 years and it felt like I was waging my own private war with various entities there. The moment when I felt that it was over was when I finally had my day in court and it felt like the judge was told, "whatever this guy wants, give it to him!" They even gave my lawyer a commendation during the hearing. Never seen that happen before. After all that time and all that madness now I'm well out of that nightmare. Just one thing left to do. |
