Run Charlie!

 

[Sunni Man]

Ridiculous hollywood movie nonsense. ...

The guys running in front of the camera are the same guys over and over. Coppala had them take their helmet off, put the weapon in the other hand, run in and different gait. Great film making.

If I’m not mistaken, some of the choppers that were supposed to be in the armada had to go put down an actual rebellion that was taking place on one of the islands in the Philippines shortly after the establishing shots were done.

The colonel using the music of the Third Reich was an odd choice.

Since a child I have been more of a diesel fuel at daybreak guy.

 

[Sunni Man]

The over the top dialogue of the colonel was hollywood tripe.

 

[Sunni Man]

Apocalypse Now is the worst war movie ever.

I have never cared for it myself since having family serving in the war.

Not the music of the Third Reich, might have been appropriated but they have no ownership.

It was only about 5 years later that Ferdinand and Imelda were overthrown, being the corrupt puppets of the U.S., and now their son is running the country.

Corazon Aquino became the President after they were toppled and the closing of the massive Subic Bay naval base came soon after. Don't know how long she ruled.

The Music Was Composed During the Second Reich, Under Bismarck

I meant it was reportedly favored by the third reich. Thats all. As far as I know, Hitler may have liked shrimp gumbo as well (what I’m having for dinner)...doesn’t mean it’s a nazi delicacy.

My DIs voice was exactly like that. Gravely little voiced prick

Wagner died in 1883 ... safe to say, he wasn't a card-carrying member of the National Socialists.
