  • From the Academy-Award winning film, The Deer Hunter starring Christopher Walken and Robert DeNiro. Nick (Walken) and Mike (DeNiro) come from a small factory town in Pennsylvania. As with many who live in such areas, the desire to serve in the military is very high. In this scene, the pair and their fellow friend, Steven, are captured by the VietCong and are forced to play the deadly game of Russian Roulette. After a couple of rounds in which the two survive, Mike decided to up the ante and challenged their captors to putting 3 rounds in the revolver.
    The three escape their Viet Cong captors, but are separated. Mike and Steven make it back to the USA, but Nick's girlfriend (Streep) tells Mike that Nick has deserted the army. Mike decides to go back to Vietnam to find Nick and bring him home.

      I just watched the “Redux” updated version of Apocalypse Now last night. I avoided it as a kid because everyone said it was way too intense.

      I have to profess my own ignorance. I was a little too young when Deer Hunter was released. Being young and a fan of action films, I preferred Apocalypse Now.
      I re-watched The Deer Hunter aged 16 in 1984 and I began to appreciate it.
      I again watched it at university in 1987 where we studied it and I then understood it's acting brilliance.
      A masterpiece.

It was the early days of Netlifx when they sent you DVDs in those little paper sleeves in the mail, I was maybe 17, 18. I never felt like that after watching a movie before. I never thought of film the same way again after watching the Deer Hunter on that little red DVD.

      It's still just a movie & this is scene was made up. The Viet Cong never played Russian Roulette with prisoners in real life. There is no documented case of this happening. This was all made up for the film. Which is why Veteran of the USAF actor Roy Scheider said he turned down the role of Michael in this film because he thought it wasn't real or believable.

    Nicky got himself hooked on heroin in Vietnam. When this movie came out, it was literally several years after the fall of Saigon in 75. Back then, the U.S. military did not acknowledge PTSD...in fact that term did not come until around the mid eighties. Also, getting a section 8 discharge from the military back then was considered similar to a dishonorable discharge. Its different today. I used to watch this movie when I was young and thought some of the action scenes were "badass." Now I watch this movie and I think, what a waste of human life, what a waste of taxpayer money. I also have wondered if there were any real Nickys who got hooked on high grade heroin in Nam and deserted, went AWOL and stayed behind intentionally after 1975. And some were listed as MIA or dead and the military really knew what happened to them.

      Watching this movie had me thinking the same. I'm infatuated with the whole Vietnam war. I too have wondered specifically about all of those were serving in the US armed forces, who were in literally Hell due to combat, but were also in a world that makes a weekend in Las Vegas seem like nothing. In a world where a person's appetite can be fed for money... Its a sad thing that war, it was. Definitely too much for any 18 year old boy who was drafted to fight an enemy thousands of miles away who we did not know. The directors of this movie definitely did their thing with making their audiences think about what took place during that time.

    One of my favorite films ever. It's still just a movie & this is scene was 100% made up for drama effect. The Viet Cong never played Russian Roulette with prisoners in real life. There is no documented case of this ever happening. This was all made up for the film. Which is why Veteran of the USAF actor Roy Scheider said he turned down the role of Michael in this film because he thought it wasn't real or believable.

    There is no record of any such war crime ever occurring in Vietnam. I am all for killing the enemy, but don't make up false and defamatory statements about about him. Calumnies always return to their originator. People who have honor don't traffic in lies.

      It's not a documentary. The scene conveys a lot on a deeper level.

      Cimino said it’s about condensing the horror of war into something very personal and horrific. Russian roulette was the best way to show it

      I wouldn't doubt if they did do that consistently how brutal they were to prisoners.
