There's a great doc about it - Hearts of Darkness - but basically the filming was a complete catastrophe. Horrible weather, skyrocketing costs, so many script changes that Coppola basically started writing it as he filmed, Sheen getting a heart attack, Hopper coked out of his mind, and Brando - earning a million a week - refusing to learn his lines and trying to improv everything. At one point he singlehandedly stopped production because he couldn't think of anything to improv and wouldn't read from the script. All of this of course happening in the middle of the Filipino jungle.

His wife recorded his phone calls, and he confesses to slowly losing his mind.

:dead: at Brando’s trifling ass.

Watch 1 and 2 then smack yourself for not watching them years ago.
oh lord, what have i done? :damn:

back in the day like 2001, i swear i would watch Godfathers, Goodfellas, and other gangster films after watching Scarface for the first time. I need a list of gangster films to watch. I like old skool shyt.

i video games backlog and then i got movies and tv shows backlog. i can consume everything in my life time . i hope i have 9 lives but what am i saying? planet earth sucks. i prefer to live in heaven.

Didn't he also write out several different endings but couldn't decide on which one to go with ?
