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?

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

The shit was too hot for a heli

I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET!

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

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

Because then Willard would corrupt the pilots.

because that wasn't what happened in the book

This guy is actually right
/thread

Nice one user.

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

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

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.

That's a big dakka.

Please don't post again.

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.

he could have gotten close in the helicopter then parachute out

Onto a jungle? Plus how would he get out?

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

>I was being ferried down the coast in a Navy PBR,
>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.

Fulton Recovery device like LRRPs and SOG used.

Yeah, those work great in heavy jungle canopy.

Fucking this.

...

no eagles ?
tv i am disapointed

Because Sauron would have just attacked them with Nazgûls.

Thanks user - 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!

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?

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

MAHAAAAAAAA the frenschh... plantationscenehasalwaysbeencelebratedforbeingboring

lmao her tits aren't that big

underrated

>Because then they couldn't rip off a movie that ripped off heart of darkness

because he went rogue and america has twisted morals.
Why did kurtz asked willard to airstrike the natives that worshipped him? why didnt willard do it?

The plantation scene added nothing to the movie.

I want someone to prove me wrong.

It had some shots of decent tits.

THE EAGLES HAD AIR SUPERIORITY

KEK HOTSHOTS WAS META AS FUCK

AIRPLANE! STYLE HUMOR, IT WAS A SIMPLER TIME
