Check out the fascinatingly different version of Dennis Hopper's introduction that appeared in the 5-hour Workprint of Apocalypse Now!

As you probably know, the audio in the workprint is terrible. I found some really cool AI tools that allowed me to lift the dialogue above all the background noise (lala.ai) and enhance the voices (Adobe Podcast). It's not perfect, but it really helps understand what they are saying in the scene. I'm so happy that such tools exist now!

Thanks so much for your continued support!

Interesting that the "Exterminate them all" line appears here first, not at the end.

I was thinking the same thing! It’s such a big revelation in the final film. I wonder what the original plan was when shooting. I could see it being interesting to see Kurtz’s things before seeing the man, but it makes so much more sense to put the note at the end.
