  • i love the smell of napalm in da mornin........

  • I see some commentsthat americans were "hiding","being scared", "ran away" etc. etc.

    Some fact: 19 vietcong soldiers died for every american soldier.

    USA won almost every battle, they did not lose. They pulled out because of politics.

    Use your brains, they could just have nuked the whole Vietnam out from the map if they wanted to.

  • .."If I say it's safe to surf this beach Captain. It's SAFE to surf this beach!!!" Timeless.

  • 2:49 to 4:00 => Absolutely EPIC

  • been at the beach where they shot this scene. just amazing! and the best place to rent boards or get lessons if you're a beginner, where else but Charlie Does!

    check out our awesome planet.com and look for the baler, aurora blog post.

  • Robert Duval - Put your damn tit back in your dress. Replace that tit!

  • four people didn't like the smell of napalm in the morning

  • My Father's companion from Creetown (Scotland), looked after Robert Duval's Family.

  • lol and this is why the americans decided to get the hell out of there xD i joke still a funny scene though :)

  • dem damn negro's don't surf why day be in da movie

  • Good all time !

  • IF I SAY ITS SAFE TO SURF THIS BEACH ITS SAFE TO SURF THIS BEACH hell yeah

  • this movie was made in the Philippines and all of the choppers and f-5s came from

    the Philippine Air Force

  • my daddy was this son of a bitch,and he treated me so,,but i still love his fukd up ass,,

  • no country is good they all had bad leaders but we just cant admit it and did bad stuff so the swiss in a war just stayed in the mountains and hid while everyone else wastes blood for someone elses war

  • adriande1: he did it for Lance

  • american used f-5s? it tough only south vietnam

  • I don't get why he made them go out on the surf, wtf was the point?

  • They secured the beach specifically so that they could surf it...if memory serves me. I havent seen this flick in a long time, but it went something like that.

  • funny that laurence fishburne would go on to voice the silver surfer.

  • Well, many, many people here in Europe love Apocalypse Now. I witnessed the Viet War on TV as a boy. Disturbing is just a heavy dose of arrogance of the otherways nice americans. Remember: We (Swiss) kicked Ass (Austrians) and built our State, hundreds of Years before the US even existed. There is friendship from us to a somewhat ignorant Nation, the USA. The only concern of this Nation: The U.S.A.! Thanks for that. Do not underestimate the "rest" of the world! Hmmm? Try to THINK! ;-)

  • Your false sense of superiority is humorous, I find many Europeans humorous because they posses this quality. I also find your statement somewhat hypocritical because you are displaying your own arrogance and ignorance by calling this nation ignorant and stereotyping all Americans.

    By the way your chocolate gives me gas.

  • Well, is it hypocritical if I call The Americans nice? What is hipocritical in my statement? I put my cards on the table. I say the truth...well, the truth, how we see SOME Americans... So WHAT? Many U.S. citizens behave like Sissies, as soon as others critisise them. Well, sorry, without taking back anything! I even agree with you, my statement was out of control. It was a pure provocation. See?

  • ha ha... the Swiss. no one gives a damn about the Swiss. I'm glad you kicked ass several hundred years ago. congrats.

  • I love how crazy he is :D

  • 'Smells Like Victory"

    course We Can't use that Word No More,

    Might Offend some Throat Cutter

  • there is no victory in lies

  • @sugarmoes

    True.

    It Is in The Lamenting of the Widows and Children as They Mourn the Deaths of the Commie Bastards.

  • i would shoot my self befor i fight for this crazy nut hes putting his men at a way to high of a risk.

  • CRAZY NUT!

  • In my opinion kilgore is as crazy as kurt.

  • out freaking standing..no oscar cause at that time, and now, the press and hollywood hated the military. And Robert played it a little too good.

  • In 1979 this amazing and awesome movie got beat for Oscar for best movie - some sort of politics, i suppose. Instead best film went to: "Kramer versus Kramer". Anybody remember that one?

  • ... strangely perfect acting... : )

  • We need Officers like this today in IRAQ and Afgan.

  • with all do respect sir, but this officer would get the whole company killed which would cost to much money and loose of men .

  • Yeah, he's really sort of supposed to be an antagonist...kinda emblematic of the inhumanity and madness of war, you know?

  • @david00army ...fukin right dude...colonel Bill kilgore rocks

  • "If I say it's safe this beach captain, it's safe to surf this beach! I mean I'm not afraid to surf this place, I'll surf this fuckin place!"

  • when i first watched this movie a couple years back, i had no idea that was robert duvall or harrison ford

  • Duvall's preformance is out of this world

  • How Robert Duval didn't receive an academy award for his role as Colonel Kilgore is beyond me... except for the fact that perhaps Hollywood really doesn't even know what an Cavalry Colonel looks or acts like. Bravo performance, Mr. Duval.

  • @TimKGrimes wel he had all of what 1/2 hour of a 5 hour movie ya know..a touch short for a award but he has a bazillion others ..lol..

  • How about The Great Santini?

  • @TimKGrimes duvall is such a wanker coz it wasnt like this at all the americans were really hiding in their holes shaking with fear and if they popped their head out charlie shot it off

  • @endracismguy

    Exactly and this guys standing there with shit going off all round him the green necks shivering in there holes its the moment the film captures well

  • "What do you know about surfing Major? You are from goddamn New Jersey!"

  • To me, the smell of victory is the feeling you get back home and the wife and kids still love you. That is victory.

    I like this movie because I have been with the 1st Cavalry Division 3 years. Cavalry units are always like that. (hoooah!).

    Charlie is for the phonetic letter for 'C'. So, when you say Charlie you are saying Communist. A charlie is a communist. Just so know.

  • Omar

    Correct enough. I spent years in the cav, nothing like it. Charlie is short for Viet Cong, VC, Victor Charlie. Hence Charlie. I am glad those child killing SOB's are dead.

  • i dont get it, what does "charlie dont surf" mean? i know the vietcong dont surf.

    on call of duty they had a mission called "charlie dont surf" what does it mean?

  • hey chris funny seeing you here

  • They just missed one thing.........CHARLIE DON'T SURF

  • Contrary to common perception, this is not a pro-war movie nor is it even a war movie. It's a story about a mans descent into madness brought on by the horrors and cruelty that men inflict upon each other, the lengths they will go to deceive, and the journey into that madness which must be undertaken in order to maintain those deceptions. Based upon the book Heart of Darkness which took place in Africa.

  • Realistic or not, this was an amazing film with incredible acting, outstanding cinematography and a great story.

  • Meh... while it is true that war is nowhere near as nice of a thing as hollywood portrays it as there are some exceptions. Indeed there are some people who truly enjoy the thrill of a fight and being shot at because they are generally psychotic. These are the folks who tend to end up in a mental ward and are best left unmentioned. Anyways its a movie. Get over the lack of realism because if people wanted real life they would never go to the movies.

  • This is how Hollywood thought Viet Nam was like which was bs. Hollywood pussies like Sly Stalone and mel gibson took off for Europe and Australia during the Viet Nam war and let other young men suffer but make millions off bullshit movies like this . From a viet nam vet 11b10 Infantry 1968,. 101st Abn Div.

  • @delta2901 I salute You Sir!

  • "Smells like........... Victory"

  • well that scene shows that us army was pervert those days(no need to say a word about today...)A guy that massacre a village for fun etc. Its like me saying wow i love pearl harbor or about world trade center movies. I bet you would call me pervert also .... us never been in a war situation more than 1 day and that shows how much immature its citizens are in war conversations!

  • Realy? Have you ever been shot at? Had a grenade thrown at you? I have so shut up and sit down pencilneck. I fought for other people and received nothing more than a get back out there and keep doing it.

  • Its called entertainment, boy. you should try it some day.

  • The additional secenes on 'Redux' kinda ruined this part of the film for me. Even though it's funny that Kilgore's board got pinched.

  • This is my favorite cinematic scene! And Sir. Robert Duvall, you are a true American. God bless you.

  • Great scene!!!.And yes,the jets are F5 freedom fighter.

  • you all think you know it . ever had napalm in your eyes i have thats why my wife is writing this

  • Bomb 'm to the stoneage son :DD

  • it's pretty hairy.

  • The jets are F-5s

  • f4's

  • LOL, they look nothing like F4 Phantoms, they are F5s...

    How do you confuse those two jets?

  • oh shit my fault i had to pause the video to get a proper reconition hahaha

  • either way there both badass

  • yup! Northtrop Grumman F-5 "Freedom Fighters" ;)

  • Northrop Grumman wasn't created until 1994. In the Vietnam era it was Northrop Corp. or Northrop Aircraft Corp.

  • Its easy to do this, when you know you're not going to be hit by anything.

  • kill all the gooks

  • charlie dont surf

  • Send snake & nape.

  • I want that treeline bombed!

  • just watched this movie it is freaken awesome....

  • F-100 , AC-47 "Spooky" are a couple that did

  • could be f5 freedom fighter. Not really sure though

  • I just love it when I go to watch a video and after it I think, hey people probably commented and said something possibly interesting only to find a couple of assholes who have nothing better to do than act like 5 year old's saying bullshit they would never utter in each others presence. Bottom line grow the fuck up and comment on the fucking video or at least something relevant to it. All talk and no action, at least I have a valid point here and am not wasting comment space like a dipshit.

  • This movie is a masterpiece..so many memorable movie quotes:

    "CHARLIE DON'T SURF"

    "Love the smell of napalm"

    "Terminate with extreme prejudice"

    (whispering) "THE HORROR...THE HORROR"

    "Never get out of the boat."

    "IT WAS A FU**ING TIGER!"

  • Killing people.. is not a sport.

    Racism... is not national pride

    And america... is NOT always right!

  • well i have a gold 1

  • I gave Bob Duvall some guitar lessons. He is a real hoot to be around.

  • if you assies are so much the shit how come the origins of that rat hole was the intent to rid britain

    of all the murderers, fags, criminals of all sorts including hookers. read history dumb ass

  • sure, aussies are the real shit. lets see, how many gold medals at anything, how many world cups, how mant tours de france, how many world

    boxing champs?? lets not keep going at this. just keep f-ing kangoroos in the outback and take that sas bullcrap and shove it where well you know where

  • ACtually Australians have alot of gold medals for a small population, and no one cares about soccer in Australia, we have great cricket and rugby teams instead. And we dont drug up our athletes to win like you people do. And the Australian SAS is equivelant to US Navy SEALS and special forces, and they're just a regular unit, so I would be shutting up.

  • Yeah, but Aussie pussy tastes like wombat piss.

  • You've never seen or tasted pussy and you never will so shut up.

  • I've seen and tasted your wife's sloppy pussy and it tasted like wombat piss.

  • Yeah i dont have a wife and you saying that just proves that your a tragic virgin.

  • Then who was that I was fucking in your bed last night ? I guess that must have been your mom and her loose pussy tasted like wombat piss. Let me guess, you don't have a mom either huh ? Lmao...btw learn how to spell, please.

  • Hmm pussy jokes, wife jokes, mum jokes, yep, you're definatly a giant nerd who cant think of anything that apart from pussy which is ironic becuase its the one thing you will never ever get. And I didnt spell anything wrong, missed a few apostrophes but thats becuase I dont care.

  • That's you're* not your. In addition to learning how to spell you need to learn how to start a sentence properly. I won't do you the favor of offering you any more tips. You claim you don't care and that may be true yet the reality is that no one will respect you if your English is as poor as yours is. You're (not your) obviously uneducated, have fun laboring, retard.

  • Btw, I had your mom's pussy, I came in her asshole too. It smelled like wombat shit.

  • Wow now your calling me a retard, classic nerd signs, and you've never done a days work in your life and you tell me to have fun labouring, well I fucking would you intolerant piece of shit, learning a trade is better than sitting in an office which is probably what you do if you even have a job. People like are fucking useless. Thats why you're a nerd.

  • Looks like I hit the nail right on the head HAHAHAHA either that or you're (not your) pissed off about the fact that I fucked ur mom and her cunt smelled like wombat piss...Owned.

  • You obviously don't know shit, you say im going to be a labourer, but you'll be working in McDonalds your entire life IF you can even get that job. My mum wouldn't go near you, you're a pathetic nerd who lives in his parent's basement and feeds on cheeseballs and chips and hasn't been washed in 3 years becuase the hose isn't long enough to get into the basements to spray you with, the only pussy you will ever see is in the porn that you watch while you try to find your dick under 200ks of fat.

  • Weak...very weak, and you've already been owned. Now go and shovel wombat shit, lmao @ the future wombat shit shoveler.

  • Ok you didnt own anything, your comments are jsut about pussy and wombats, which you know nothing about in either category. Your insults are terrible too, you think that people go out of thier way to clean up wombat shit, this just proves that you failed grade 2, dropped out and you are now living alone in a hole in the ground with an internet connection, hoping that making bad jokes about AUstralians

  • Obviously you dont know shit, you didnt own anything and your jokes consist of pussy and wombats which you know nothing about in either category. You think that in Australia we go into the bush and shovel wombat shit? If we did then you would have been shoveled along time ago, you probably failed grade 2 and live on your computer table hoping that you may feel better by making bad jokes on youtube, between the time that it takes your computer to load world of warcraft.

  • Yes, I think in Australia that people go out in the bush and shovel wombat shit. I also believe that with your poor education you are destined to become a wombat shit shoveler and that chicks will laugh at you for being a pathetic wombat shit shoveler who can neither write nor spell. Btw, I own you, you're (not your) my wombat shoveling bitch.

  • you really dont know much about australia if you think we go out in the bush and shovel wombat shit.....dont know why anyone would do that in the first place

  • Shouldn't you be asking that other guy why he shovels wombat shit then ?

  • Ha, and you say you owned me. When you kill yourself the world will be happy, so stop waiting and get it over with.

  • You are owned, he's taken exception because he's Australian like you are and like you, he probably shovels wombat shit too. Just the mere fact that I'm still inside your head proves you've been owned. You're my wombat shoveling bitch. Rofl, owned again.

  • Mate you cant just say owned, if that was the case the germans would have done that in 1945. And that wombat shit shoveling joke makes no sense and you keep repeating it so it means you're not smart enough to think of anything else. OWNED>

  • The fact that I've made you self-conscious enough to make an attempt to correct your elementary school writing is another reason you've been owned. Scroll down and see the evidence. The wombat shit shoveling line is merely browbeating you endlessly with an effective stratedgy. If I were to change my approach now. Then you would score points and I won't allow that to happen as you've been shut out so far. You pathetic wombat shit shoveling laborer. Lmao owned again.

  • You spelled strategy wrong.

  • No, I didn't, that was a typo and my shit doesn't stink either.

  • Ha ha, A wombat took a dump on your face and you liked it !!! I think it is brave of you to acknowledge that you have drunk wombat piss enough times to be familiar with the taste and smell. But as you have it all over your face, that must be easy.

    You are a true troll 'tard.

    Respond to this only if you have enjoyed being to be the bottom man to each Australian guy you meet.

  • Haha, you say "your elementary school writing" yet you still don't even know how to spell conscience or strategy. Fucking dumbshit. And points? This isn't a game mate, I know you play alot of games becuase your too pathetic to do something outside but that doesn't change anything. And wombat shoveler, even though they dont exist, would have a better income and life then you ever will. And if you keep saying that you owned me it just makes you look insecure.

  • you would know, as you have drank wombat piss.

  • It´s one of the best movie scenes and Robert Duvall coolest character ever. I actually wonder if there were really such freaky guys who thought of surfing while combating a Charlie attack with a Napalm strike.

  • lol,its a movie

  • Cool movie.

  • I used to think that surfing sucked, but I guess some people take it very,very seriously.

  • One of the best war movies, ever. Kilgore had me laughing the whole time they were with him.

  • Comment removed

  • bc he said i'll surf this beach and he was makin a point that it was safe to surf

  • That's a cavalry officer's hat - brush up on your history - they are an AirCav unit...

  • Comment removed

  • Wow. Guess you should have thought about that before asking why he was wearing a "stupid hat", huh?

  • Comment removed

  • Look you're all as wrong as the Aussie. It isn't an cav officer's hat it's a cavalry stetson. Since he is the CO he can make the call whether or not it can be worn, and during this time period everybody was wearing them.. He wasn't made to wear it, and it isn't even a little bit stupid, you drunk ocker. The hat is modeled after 1800's cav hats,and was put into service to increase esprit de corps by drawing from the past. cav troopers still wear the stetsons when the local commanders allow it.

  • Aussie's wore a worse hat than that at Gallipoli and throughout WW1, that doesn't make them bad.

  • ok lets get over its just hat..that looked a bit silly.

  • the hat looks badass to me :)

  • no we are not.

  • when the fuck have u ever gone to war?

  • ah world war 1 and 2, korea, vietnam and both iraq and afganastan?

  • Why are you dumping on the Aussies? They are great friends and allies of America and we are fortunate to have people of this quality and caliber along with us.

    Spend a few minutes and read up on Gallipoli.

  • Going to war doesn't make you cool; never mind that guy.

  • uh... buddy... the aussies have helped us out in ww2 korea vietnam... they dont have nearly as big a military as we do but we get just as much help outa them as we do our other allies... you gotta give them credit.

  • The Australian S.A.S is actually pretty much the craziest special forces group in the world.

  • And if you've ever read a book, which you should if you ever hope to make it far in the Army, you'd know that Australia has fought in almost every single major combat operation America has been involved in since WWII, including Iraq and Afghanistan. They are also an essential ally in combating terrorism in the pacific.

  • If you're not from America, then why would you call somebody else's hat stupid, and then ALSO expect an polite answer? Personally, I always thought the way the Vietnamese dressed was kinda stupid, but I wouldn't use that word when asking about their straw hats or their sandals or their daytime PJs.

  • Ok l'm sorry that l don't like the hat.

  • I believe that the jets are F-5 Tigers. Love the line... "Roger ove 1-3, we're fixin' to fuck with them." When I was in Iraq we ha just gone through a pretty hairy mortar attack and BTN asked if we were ok, and I told the B/C "If I say it's safe to surf this beach... it's safe to surf this beach!" The next week the BTN SMAJ asked me if we had done any surfing.

  • lol!

  • What kind of plane are dropping the napalm?

    It is not Phantoms right?

  • DAMN! I love my waves but this shit is off the hook!!

  • Charlie dont surf!!!!

  • Damn i love these crazy mother fuckers!!!

  • "You either surf, or fight!"

  • i dont really like the vietnam conflict, but good movie. btw, this was never a war, it was a "conflict"

  • The movie was made to show how insane the conflict was.

  • Calling an air strike for the sake of surfing lol. I wonder what charges the C.O. will face for that?

  • none, it's nam.

  • u can tell this apocalypse now redux. this version is the best of the two. also this is one of the top 3 vietnam movies ever made.

  • sorry your wrong.the redux version had 2 stupid scenes in it,the first one and the second one!!!!!!

  • this or platoon? havent seen this 1 yet but i heard good things
