My dad was in Nam; enlisted at 17, and his dad was happy to sign the paperwork. He was 101st Airborne Ranger, tunnel rat, and led a small group through the jungles terrorizing anything and everything they came across. He was shot up, spent 18 months in Japan, and another 6 months at The Presidio. When he had flashbacks, it was some of the absolute scariest times. There wasn’t a pattern to what would trigger one. The worst one he had next to me was when two Chinooks and five Huey’s flew over us when we were working outside. He had a 24oz framing hammer in his hand and stopped mid swing. He grabbed me and threw me to the ground before covering me until the helicopters were gone. Once he realized what he was doing, he got up, puked, and went back to work. He never said anything about it, and I never brought it up.

One of my patients was a marine tunnel rat and he told me the movies have it all wrong. He always went down with his knife drawn. He was like you never shoot first because you let everyone in the tinsel know where you were. Then he said “everyone I killed was with my knife.” Total bad ass!

I remember meeting a tunnel rat years ago, back when I was a kid still thinking war was GI:Joe and just glory. The stories he told me really made a 10 year old kid rethink everything he knew about war. I won’t say I grew up hearing stories about how there war was to be won and war was a man’s ultimate proving ground like generations before, but I grew up thinking that combat was this thing that you did in the military and once you were done it was all stories and glory after. Hearing him talk about how at 18 years old he had his life flash before his eyes and basically reconciled with god as he fought for his life against a VC in a tunnel, desperately trying to grab a rock to bash the guys head in with. Looking back, he didn’t tell me those stories because he wanted to scare me, but because he wanted to give me the wake up call that he wished he got from someone before he went to war.

My dad, who served in Vietnam with the 173rd airborne, has always maintained that Forrest Gump is the most accurate depiction of the war he’s seen.

Apparently the part with Martin Sheen in the opening act of Apocalypse Now is him having a mental breakdown. The production and shooting of Apocalypse Now was a fucking nightmare... Like, people almost died, several became drug addicts for a period of time, others lost unhealthy amounts of weight, money was STOLEN for further production, they were filming during the Filipino Civil War in the late 70's, because the US Army wouldn't help due to the nature of the film. Martin Sheen had multiple heat strokes and even a heart attack. Marlon Brando gained an excessive amount of weight and could no longer play the part he needed to play save in limited amounts with immense camera angle play. Apocalypse Now does amazingly well, but only at the cost of serious issues that, by all rights, should've killed significant portions of the cast and filming crew.

Apocalypse Now was a lot like the Vietnam War. Overly long, over budget and left a lot of people messed up.

The scene in Apocalypse Now where we are introduced to roach really stuck with me. Especially when captain Willard asks him, "do you know whos in charge here?" And Roach just goes, "...yeah."

Best part about "Roach" scene in Apocalypse Now is that its atcually real stuff. Michael Herr in his "Dispatches" brings up a story that his colleague witnessed in Khe Sanh, and its basically it.

Those were t38 trainer aircraft, developed from the F5 tiger from Northrop corporation. Fun fact, the United States never used t38 or F5 in a combat role, it was developed as a cheap option for more impoverished allies such as south Vietnam.

It wasnt that Martin Sheen got drunk for that scene but that he was already hammered and going through a drunk fit, and they decided to roll film anyway. The punching of the mirror and the blood from his cut open hand was all real along with his drunken craze.

The gelling of liquid fuels in both flamethrowers and napalm bombs is not for the "sticking" factor, although that is a benefit, it is to keep the mixture from aerosol-ing too quickly. It works to extend the effective range of the weapon.

Oliver Stone, the director of Platoon, actually requested combat duty in Vietnam. He was awarded a Bronze Star with V device and a Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster.

@Miles Doyle why are you copying and pasting this on everyone’s comments?

"Apocalypse Now" was filmed in the Philippines. ALL the helicopters were on loan from the Philippine military. Once filming for the day had ended using helicopters for whatever scene, they then would be loaded up with live ammo and then flown against whatever insurgents that the Philippine government were fighting at the time, probably better explained by other persons in the comments. Then, next day, the helicopters would return to the movie set for the next day's scenes. In todays "movie world" everything would be CGI with maybe a few actual helicopters sprinkled in for good measure.

The use of lighting in apocalypse now during the Brando rants is spectacular you could teach a whole class on it in film technique and philosophy

The movie Dead Presidents has a pretty awesome Vietnam war scene in it! Its awesome how it fades from him running away from getting caught hooking up with his girl, to him running in the jungle in Vietnam with the war radios fading in from the background as it transitions! Its flippin awesome! Do it I dares ya! Lol ;)

"I wonder how they did those lighting effects on Apocalypse now-Do Lung Bridge scene" Well. i have an answer for you! other than the obvious pyro and fireworks being used in the background. the Flare effect, which has been used in many other vietnam films, Platoon being one of which if im not mistaken? is, they used bamboo poles/sticks. and equipped flares to the end of them, while various individuals waved them back and forth in a slow/ down drifting effect of vietnam era pop parachute flares, and m79 /40mm flares. which is something that was used in many films throughout the years to create that effect.

I could literally watch Mat and Eli react to anything, they’re hilarious.

FYI, they filmed the Gump 'Nam scenes in Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina. One of my biggest regrets was turning down an invite to be one of the platoon for that part of the film. I heard Tom Hanks so I thought, "Vietnam, the comedy" as he was known for screwball comedies and I didn't wanna part of anything like that. Then I saw the movie and realized how awesome it'd been for me to have been there. It still bugs me to this day. I was also later asked to be a Marine Platoon leader for "Windtalkers" but I'm glad I turned THAT down because I was an active duty Army LT at the time and couldn't get leave to take part...

I used to run Theatres in the 90’s and I won a promotion for the Forrest Gump movie and I have a signed poster with the poster being signed by Robert Zimeckus and Gary Sinise. I have still this day on my wall!

Martin Sheen actually did cut his hand in that scene where he punched the mirror, but just kept on going. I think the scene was pretty much completely improvised. Later on he had a heart attack on set (due to the intensity of his acting) and the film was delayed while he recovered.

That's how EVERYONE traveled around (whether Airborne, Infantry, Cavalry or Marines). The infantry walked a little more than the Cav, but both used choppers for transport. I don't know much about Airborne troops in 'Nam, because all the guys I know were infantry or 1st Cav. But, according to the Internet, the Airborne units almost never used parachutes (they did a couple of times only). The Airborne , once in Vietnam, basically threw out their parachute training and just basically did what the 1st Cav (airmobile) was doing.

Eli just subtly drops the therapy in. 💯 💯

Vietnam films & TV shows have been filmed in Hawaii, Thailand, & Philippines, although some have been filmed in California. Also, I'm too young to have served in Vietnam (my father did serve in Thailand 66-67), but I did get the opportunity to serve with the 3rd SPS at Clark AB Phillipines, and while the monsoons are bad, the typhoons are worse. Also, in Vietnam they weren't "Little Birds" they were "LOACHs". The fighters in "Apocalypse Now" were F-5s.
