Why didn't they just take a helicopter up the river?

because heart of darkness.

End thread

RPG-7's were a thing.

Why didn't they just do a fly by and have him airdrop near the camp?

>>84966463
Why would you fly up a river in a helicopter & not go over land.

>>84966463
The shit was too hot for a heli

I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET!

>>84966463
helicopters have their own problems to attend to and dont care for the problems of the world

>>84966463
Too hairy also they'd eventually need a boat since they were illegally going into cambodia

>>84966463
Because then Willard would corrupt the pilots.

because that wasn't what happened in the book

>>84966695

This guy is actually right

Yes. Nice bait OP. Put this shit to rest. This film is a masterpiece

>>84966463
Why didn't they just leave Kurtz alone to do what needed to be done?

>>84966463
Because then they couldn't rip off Aguirre: The Wrath of God.

Because they didnt know where exactly they were going

There's no way the mission should have even succeeded, I think they just wanted him to die along with the rest of the crew. Think seal team 6. All those dudes probably had inside info that the military wanted to suppress.

what was his problem?

Stealth. He was undercover.

The U.S. government is unironically terrible about shooting themselves in the foot about this sort of thing.
See: the horrible treatment of Assad and the friendly treatment of Erdogan.

Because America lost a ridiculous amount of aircraft, something like 25 000 aircraft during the period of the Vietnam war to Russian AA.

>>84973594
That's a big dakka.

>>84966498
Please don't post again.

>>84966463
Because it wouldn't have worked as an adaptation of Heart of Darkness otherwise.

Even aside from the many other reasons they took a boat, you can't just randomly land a helicopter in dense jungle.

>>84973816
he could have gotten close in the helicopter then parachute out

>>84974234
Onto a jungle? Plus how would he get out?

>>84966463
Because you're a dickweed that can't pay attention:

>a type of plastic patrol boat, pretty common sight on the rivers.
>They said it was a good way to pick up >information without drawing lot of attention.

>>84974264
Fulton Recovery device like LRRPs and SOG used.

>>84974884
Yeah, those work great in heavy jungle canopy.

>>84966491

Thanks anon - came here to post this and only this.

Troopers! I have just received new orders. Our superiors say the war is cancelled, and we can all go home. Bison is getting paid off for his crimes, and our friends will have died here... will have died for nothing. But... we can all go home. Meanwhile, ideas like peace, freedom and justice - they get packed up. But... we can all go home. Well... I'm not going home. I'm gonna get on my boat, and I'm going up-river, and I'm going to kick that son-of-a-bitch Bison's ass so HARD... that the next Bison wanna-be is gonna feel it. Now who wants to go home... and who wants to go with ME!

>>84966463
why didn't they just do a b-52 strike on kurt's compound? better yet, why didn't they just ignore kurtz since his group was the most effective operators in the whole country?

>>84966463
Why didn't they just fly the eagles into Mount Kurtz?

Why did kurtz asked willard to airstrike the natives that worshipped him? why didnt willard do it?

>>84977774
The plantation scene added nothing to the movie.

I want someone to prove me wrong.

>>84977923
