| Who was sent on a top secret mission into Cambodia at the movie's beginning? | Apocalypse Now
|

| During Willard's first encounter with Kurtz, what did Kurtz rebut with when Willard told him he was a soldier, not an assasin? | Apocalypse Now
|
"You're neither, you're an errand boy sent by grocery clerks.". Willard: "Everything I saw told me that Kurtz had gone insane. The place was full of bodies. North Vietnamese, Vietcong, Cambodians. If I was still alive, it was because he wanted me that way."
| In Kurtz' camp, a site of primitive evil, they are greeted by a hyperactive, fast talking, spaced-out, free lance American photo-journalist. What is the actor's name? | Apocalypse Now
|
Dennis Hopper . Dennis Hopper wasn't even part of the original casting. He just happened to be in the Philippines at the time and Coppola wanted to use him somehow.
| After Chief Phillips is speared through the back, what is his last action before dying? | Apocalypse Now
|
He tries to pull Willard onto the spear sticking from his chest. Willard: "He was close, real close. I couldn't see him yet, but I could feel him, as if the boat were being sucked upriver and the water was flowing back into the jungle. Whatever was going to happen, it wasn't gonna be the way they call it back in Nha Trang."

| After the routine search on the Sampan goes wrong, Willard executes a wounded Vietnamese. Why did he do it? | Apocalypse Now
|
He didn't want to divert the boat to get medical help. Willard: "It was the way we had over here of living with ourselves. We'd cut 'em in half with a machine gun and give 'em a bandaid. It was a lie - and the more I saw of 'em, the more I hated lies. Those boys were never gonna look at me the same way again."
| To make the surfing beach even safer from sniper fire, Kilgore orders an additional air strike with napalm along the tree line. It led to a famous quote. What does Napalm smell like to Kilgore? | Apocalypse Now
|
Victory. Colonel Kilgore: "You smell that? Do you smell that?...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know, that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like - victory."
