Apocalypse Now: Final Cut 40th Anniversary & Restoration
#41
The new master is stunning. The remixes are faithful and the new FC track has such low bass most systems can't handle it. Unfortunately the new Bd discs are badly compressed.

I too found that 1979 hidden track and it seems to be the same as the 1997 ac3 LD/1999 DVD port of the LD.

Unfortunately, it's 448kbps, not even 640kbps, which is annoying.

Quote:So I just got a copy of this and I’ve reviewed both the Blu-ray and 4k discs and a pesky ADR error in the theatrical cut from the last Blu-Ray release (and I believe the Complete Dossier DVD too, I can’t remember) has reared its ugly head on this release:
In the theatrical version at the Do Lung bridge, they get their mail and leave Chief. Chief says “where are you going, Captain?” and in The theatrical version Willard says :
"I gotta find somebody - I need some information.
And in the Redux cut Willard says:
“See if I can find some fuel - get some information.”
The Blu-ray that contains the theatrical cut actually has a restored theatrical audio option that is only available on the 1979 cut. The good news? The original line is on that audio track. The bad news? It is ONLY available on that audio track. The 1979/Redux 4k disc only has 1 audio track, a Dolby Atmos mix, and that mix contains the “fuel” version on the theatrical cut.
Even worse, the reason that line was changed is to set up the scene where they trade the fuel for sex with the Playboy Bunnies. Redux is the only version of the film with that scene, so both the theatrical version and the Final Cut version should have the “somebody” version. This modified line should ONLY exist on the Redux version. If you prefer to watch the 4k version then you’re out of luck in regards to the correct audio.
They wouldn’t even need to include an alternate audio track to account for this change if they wanted to fix it. If you can seamlessly branch entire scenes into the movie then you can seamlessly branch both versions of this line on the 4k disc.
I’m pretty sure there will be no recall or replacement disc because this error exists on 3 of the 4 movie discs in this set, and arguably could be corrected on other audio tracks on the the 1979/Redux Blu-Ray disc too.

Even the previous US Blu-ray has the "fuel" line instead of the "somebody" line on the theatrical cut. BUT... I just checked the old French Blu-ray and it has the "somebody" line in dts HDMA 5.1 @ 2327 kbps 48kHz/16-bit on the theatrical cut. How's that for good news for those audio wizzards willing to create a fixed track for the theatrical and final cuts?

16MM Scope LowFade

Quote:Offered here for trade is a rare scope print of the original theatrical version of APOCALYPSE NOW with perfect AGFA color.
It's from the original release and still contains the original "fire bombing" end credits that were removed and replaced
with simple white on black end titles during its first run!
The print is in very good condition, with just mild wear, and is printed on Polyester stock so it will NEVER get vinegar syndrome.

Dutch Angle: Chas Gerretsen & Apocalypse Now (2019)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10584990/
32min | Documentary

In the 1970s, Dutch photographer Charles ‘Chas’ Gerretsen suddenly became world famous with his then small oeuvre. Privateer from a young age and former war photographer, he was invited by Francis Ford Coppola to capture everything on the set of Apocalypse Now because of his wartime experiences.

Most of his work on the legendary set has never been seen before. Until now. In honor of the 40th anniversary of Apocalypse Now, Rotterdam-based cinema KINO Rotterdam and the Nederlands Fotomuseum joined forces to unearth the archive of Gerretsen and produced a documentary together.

With Dutch Angle: Chas Gerretsen & Apocalypse Now, director Baris Azman tells the story of Gerretsen himself, while at the same time exhibiting his haunting and visceral work on the filmset that provides a fresh new angle on what is widely regarded as one of the best films ever made. The documentary contains an in-depth interview with Gerretsen and more than 100 pictures of the stellar cast including Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper and Martin Sheen. It even features images of deleted scenes.
