Apocalypse Now Redux is a 2001 extended version of the epic war film Apocalypse Now, which was originally released in 1979. Unlike other new cuts of the film, Redux is usually considered by fans and critics, as well as director Francis Ford Coppola a completely new movie altogether.
The movie adds 50 minutes of all-new material, and represents a significant re-edit of the original Apocalypse Now. The movie came into production when Coppola concluded that his original cut was tame by today's standards. Coppola, along with editor/long-time collaborator Walter Murch, then added several scenes that enhanced the surrealism in the original story.
The extended version of the film was distributed by Paramount Pictures in the US and Miramax Films overseas, whilst the original cut was distributed by United Artists.
The movie contains several newly added sequences and alterations to the original film:
[list]
The longest addition to the film is a sequence that takes place after Clean's death. The crew find themselves in a French plantation in Cambodia. Willard tells the head of the plantation (Christian Marquand) that they lost one of their men. He tells Willard that they will bury him (to pay respects to the fallen of their allies). What later follows is a funeral for Clean. Following the recital of a poem by one of the French children (played by Roman Coppola and watched by older brother Gian-Carlo), the crew then has dinner with the new arrivals. Willard, sitting with the family, asks when they are going back to France. The family soon go into a long and lengthy argument over the First Indochina War and the Vietnam War. There is a dispute over "traitors at home" (e.g., the famous Henri Martin Affair) and most of the family leaves in anger. After they all leave, one, Roxanne (the only one not in the conversation, played by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurore_Cl%C3%A9ment]Aurore Clément[/url]), apologizes for her family's behavior. She and Willard later talk, smoke opium, and she later explains the conflicts her deceased husband had faced with himself during the Indochina War. After she undresses and approaches Willard, she tells him, "There are two of you, can't you see? One that kills, and one that loves." We later see the crew back on the river continuing the mission.
In the original film, the PBR Street Gang crew members relax and play around, listening to the Rolling Stones (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction while Willard first looks at the dossier. The scene plays right before the crew members meet Kilgore. In the Redux version, the scene is moved to later in the film, and Willard is shown reading the dossier without the surrounding activity and music.
In the original version, Willard first meets Kilgore when asking a fellow officer who simply replies, "He's over there, you can't miss him". In the Redux, the officer now says "There's the Colonel coming down". We later learn that Kilgore is arriving (via helicopter) to the scene. When he arrives, he tells an officer riding with him, "Lieutenant, bomb back that tree line 'bout a hundred yards, give us some room to breathe". He later asks another for his "Death Cards" (which he uses in the original version).
During the raid, Kilgore looks over some of the wounded and dead. He then walks away, simply replying "Damn".
After Kilgore has ordered an air strike, a Vietnamese mother, with her wounded child in hand, runs to Kilgore. Kilgore immediately takes the child and tells his men to rush the child to a hospital (mother as well) on his chopper.
After the helicopter carrying the wounded child leaves, Kilgore hands Lance a new pair of shorts to go surfing in (Note: Throughout the original cut, Lance is wearing them, but it is never explained how he got them).
After giving the famous "Napalm" speech, Kilgore soon learns that the napalm has changed the wind current, ruining the perfect waves. Willard immediately uses this as an excuse to leave. He and Lance run back to the boat. Before they leave, Willard steals Kilgore's surf board.
Before Willard and Chef go to search for mangoes, there's a scene wherein the crew is lying around in a river. Chef asks Chief if he can go get some mangoes and Willard goes with him. The Redux version contains a new scene before this, in which it is clear that the crew are hiding from Kilgore, who is trying to get back his surf board. A helicopter soon flies by, carrying a recording by Kilgore, asking Lance for the board back. Chief then changes the subject by asking how far they are going up the river. Willard says it's classified. Chief later asks Willard if he likes it like that, "hot and hairy" (to which Willard replies: "Fuck. You don't get a chance to know what the fuck you are in some factory in Ohio" ). Chef later asks Chief if he can get some mangoes.
The day after the Playboy Playmates' USO show, we see the crewmembers talking about it. Chef is obsessed he was able to meet "Miss December". Clean then reminds Chef not to go crazy over his Playboy magazines, and proceeds to tell the story of an Army Sergeant who was so obsessed with his Playboys, he killed an ARVNLieutenant who ruined his foldouts.
The "Satisfaction" scene comes immediately after the above scene. In the following scene, Willard reads a letter by Kurtz, criticizing the incompetent young soldiers sent to Vietnam, blaming them for their losing.
At one point during their travels, the crew stop at a destroyed Medevac. The area is completely wrecked, with no real commanding officer (much like the Do Lung Bridge sequence). Willard tries to find someone in charge, but later learns that the Playboy bunnies' helicopter has landed there. Willard then negotiates two barrels of fuel for an hour with the bunnies (along with the rest of the crew). Chef spends his time with his idol, Miss December (now Miss May), and Lance spends his time with the Playmate of the Year. Clean constantly interrupts, trying to get his turn. During one such interruption, a large cooler is upended, revealing the corpse of a soldier, which upsets the Playmate of the Year.
After the above scene, Chef learns that Clean is still a virgin. Chef then makes fun of him for it, only to be stopped by Chief. The exchange is only partially heard in the original cut.
After Chef's death, Willard is kept in a metal shipping container known as a "CONEX". Kurtz later sits outside the doors and reads Willard several Time Magazine articles detailing America's success in the war.

Scene aggiunte rispetto ad Apocalypse Now
[list]
Durante l'attacco con gli elicotteri sul villaggio vietcong, la cinepresa indugia su un pilota, interpretato dall' ex MarineR. Lee Ermey, divenuto attore e pilota di elicotteri nelle Filippine, resosi poi celebre con il film Full Metal Jacket (1987). Una donna vietnamita con il figlioletto ferito in braccio corre dal tenente colonnello Kilgore. Il tenente colonnello rassicura il bambino ed ordina ai suoi uomini di portarlo in ospedale.
Il colonnello Kilgore si dispera per come il bombardamento con il napalm abbia causato uno scemare delle onde, interrompendo l'ambita esibizione di surf. Il capitano Willard con mossa fulminea ruba la tavola preferita dal comandante e si allontana di gran carriera insieme al suo plotone, nell'unica scena in cui lo si vede ridere.
Il giorno dopo lo squinternato spettacolo delle conigliette di Playboy, Chef ripensa compulsivamente alla sua Playmate preferita, "Miss Dicembre" e Mr. Clean lo ammonisce a dimenticare, narrandogli una storia di un uomo analogamente invaghito al punto da arrivare ad uccidere un ufficiale.
Il capitano Willard arriva insieme ai suoi uomini in un campo di rifornimento allo sbando, privo di comando, sotto un'incessante pioggia monsonica. Willard scambia del carburante per far passare ai suoi uomini alcune ore di svago con le sospirate modelle di Playboy. Chef corona il suo sogno con una matura addestratrice di pappagalli "Miss Maggio" (ex "Miss Dicembre" ) mentre Lance con la giovane ed immatura Playmate dell'anno. Mr Clean è escluso dagli incontri (l'attore Fishburne aveva allora quindici anni). La parentesi erotica si interrompe bruscamente con il ritrovamento da parte di Lance della salma del manager delle ragazze, nascosta in una valigia a pochi metri dal talamo.
Ricevendo della posta nei pressi del ponte semidistrutto, Chef apprende da ritagli di giornali della morte tragica di Sharon Tate per mano della setta satanica di Charles Manson, dando un contesto temporale al film.
Il giovane Mr. Clean è morto. Willard ed il suo plotone raggiungono un avamposto francese in Cambogia, dove da secoli vive isolata dal mondo la famiglia De Marais, proprietari terrieri impiantatasi dai tempi dell'Indocina francese, e che offre loro asilo e degna sepoltura per l'ucciso. Willard viene invitato a cena da loro ed ascolta una poesia in francese recitata da due bambini (interpretati dai figli del regista, Roman e Gio Coppola). A tavola i membri della famiglia espongono le loro teorie sul colonialismo ed interessanti sono quelle del capofamiglia Hubert De Marais (Christian Marquand). Alla fine della cena, Willard si intrattiene a fumare una pipa di oppio con Roxanne Serraut-De Marais ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurore_Cl%C3%A9ment]Aurore Clément[/url]), un'attraente e intraprendente vedova, con cui poi trascorre la notte.
Giunti nel villaggio cambogiano, regno del "semidio" Kurtz, Willard viene catturato ed imprigionato in una gabbia, Chef decapitato. Kurtz gli fa visita per leggere e commentare un articolo del Time sulla guerra del Vietnam e poi concedergli la semilibertà.
