Apocalypse Now film's shooting began in the Philippines in 1976. The director of the film, Francis Ford Coppola, aimed for realism and planned to shoot in a real war environment.

The shooting of the film did not go as planned. Tropical climate, heavy rains, and health issues of the crew made the shooting challenging. Additionally, some scenes of the film were like real war scenes, and the crew faced significant dangers during these shots.

Tropical Climate: During the shooting in the Philippines, the crew had to deal with the challenges of the tropical climate. The hot and humid weather negatively affected the health of the crew members. Also, rainy weather made the shooting more difficult.

Crew members faced problems like sweating and heatstroke due to the hot weather. Additionally, issues like equipment damage in rainy weather were also occurring.

Health Issues: During the film's shooting, crew members encountered various health problems. Hot weather, insect bites, and other diseases negatively affected the health of the crew members. Even the lead actor of the film, Marlon Brando, had a heart attack during the shootings.

Brando's heart attack disrupted the filming. Before the heart attack, Brando expressed his reluctance to participate in the film's shooting. However, Coppola convinced Brando to be part of the film.

Real War Scenes: Some scenes of the film are like real war scenes. The crew faced great dangers during the shooting of these scenes. In fact, the director of the film, Francis Ford Coppola, was wounded by a bullet during the shooting of one scene.

One of the most famous scenes of the film, the "gallon scene," was shot using a real warship. The crew faced real war dangers during the shooting of this scene.

Budget and Shooting Duration: These difficulties led to an increase in the film's budget and shooting duration. The budget of the film increased from 13 million dollars to 30 million dollars. The shooting duration was also extended from the planned 15 weeks to 23 weeks.

Despite these challenges, the director of the film, Francis Ford Coppola, managed to complete the shooting of the film. Apocalypse Now became one of the most important works in the history of cinema.
