Even though a tough guy himself (as becomes clear at the end of the scene where they go through a boat in search of contraband), he cannot believe there are people who actually LOVE war...

    What makes this scene even better, is how it was filmed.
    Coppola shot the movie in the Philippines and got the choppers from their army. (Yes, these are all real helicopters, no special effects.)
    Unfortunately, a communist insurrection broke out in another part of the Philippines, that escalated into a civil war & the military called off the helicopters to fight off the rebels.
    This was going on for weeks & also, a tropical Typhoon storm destroyed the set of the village.
    The whole production of "Apocalypse Now" was an insane shitshow, it´s a miracle Coppola even managed to finish it. (Among other things, protagonist Martin Sheen almost died from a heart attack, Coppola went over budget & was forced to take a private loan, mortgaging his house, in order to finish the movie, the entire crew was on drugs on booze, Marlon Brando refused to even read the script & improvised his lines, not to mention he was so overweight they had to shoot all his scenes in the dark to hide that, Coppola had a nervous breakdown on set etc. )
    There´s a documentary about it, directed by his wife, called " Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse".

      or the one in the chopper who got a hatful of hand grenade. That's what makes the Do Lung bridge scene more impactful than if that scene had stood alone in the movie. Here we see someone who is in charge, and yet is making a production out of war. The gunner at Do Lung has no idea who is in charge, he just wants to survive the night. And Roach knows, but he sees no need to speak the obvious--death is in charge there.

    Visited the sets in the Philippines in the Summer of 1976 for about 2-3 weeks (as my Cousin was one of the Huey pilots). It was messed up.
    It was interesting to meet & hang out w/ Larry (he also was about 16 yrs & the youngest cast member) and Emilio (about 12/13 ys) as he was there hanging w/ his Dad, Charlie Sheen. They really wanted to hang out w/ kids from the US.
    My Cousin was able to let me fly in the Huey many times and I even got a bit of stick time as PIC as I was already a fixed wing aircraft pilot having received my wings in May for my BDay.
    It was a very cool experience although the heat, humidity, & rainy season were pretty bad.

    I was in D Troop, 8/1 Air Cav Squadron stationed at Ft Knox in '71. I have no idea what the squadron tasking was, but I remember that those of us in the ground troop spent a lot of our time supporting the Armor School, supplying bodies and equipment for officer training.
    While we did not usually do any squadron activities, we did travel to the Ft Bragg area once to maneuver against the graduating class of Green Berets. Our troop never found them except for being the target of a prearranged ambush, (we did find a few stills in the back woods around the post, got out of there quickly since the brewers would have had real bullets and we only had blanks) but the chopper pilots flying in our food said they were having a great time following the trails in the snow.
    Going back to Ft Knox they decided to do a fly over in squadron formation. Those of us watching from the ground convoy decided that they really needed to practice that more since they visibly appeared to be having, um, problems with their spacing. Looks like doing it in CGI is much easier.

    • @ryanrehfuss

      Actually nearly every shot in this scene is as real as it looks. You're seeing real Philippine air force helicopters flown by their active duty pilots. The formation flying, interior shots, and pyrotechnics, were done full scale and in flight - with film crew and actors aboard. Every helicopter is real, even the airframes "destroyed" on camera. It was an absurdly expensive, difficult, and dangerous movie to film. The making-of documentary is a fascinating watch.
