Description: Offering the OFFICIAL DVD release: APOCALYPSE NOW: THE COMPLETE DOSSIER See photo for more info Disc One Supplements: "The Hollow Men" (16:55) is an unexpurgated version of Marlon Brando's reading of T.S. Eliot's poem. The footage is much more than a deleted master shot, though. The reading is set to a montage of footage that didn't appear in the film, from local children playing, to one of the extras who played a decapitated head on the stairway at Kurtz's compound having a smoke between takes. "Monkey Sampan" (3:00) combines footage of locals performing The Doors' "Light My Fire" in broken English with a haunting deleted sequence in which Willard's PBR encounters a sampan overrun with monkeys. There are a total of 12 additional scenes, removed from the 79 version and not restored for the 2001 cut. A section called "A/V Club" has a collection of production featurettes: • "The Birth of 5.1 Sound" (5:47) Walter Murch, Francis Ford Coppola, and Ioan Allen from Dolby Labs discuss the audio evolution from Star Wars's "baby boom" stereo design to Apocalypse Now's introduction of full stereo surround, which eventually evolved into 5.1 surround. • "Ghost Helicopter Flyover" (3:50) The featurette discusses and examines Walter Murch's careful sonic design of the helicopter flyovers that make up the opening shot of the film. • "The Synthesizer Soundtrack" Bob Moog's long and detailed essay from Contemporary Keyboard magazine about the Herculean task of realizing the film's synthesizer score. • Technical FAQ A text-based supplement that answers questions about the 2.0:1 aspect ratio of the home video releases of Apocalypse Now, the various release versions of the 1979 cut, and whether or not Willard calls in an airstrike on the Kurtz compound at the film's end.
