I love the smell of napalm in the morning…

In Episode 11 of Making Apocalypse Now, we take a look at the second half of Francis Ford Coppola’s enormous Valkyries Sequence that would involve even more dangerous helicopter stunts, a seemingly straightforward shot of a helicopter lifting the patrol boat that turned out to be insanely difficult, an extremely large and complicated napalm explosion sequence, as well as one of the most quoted lines in cinema history, This is the story behind these and many other great moments in the second half of the Valkyries Sequence.
