I have to agree with "buttergun"'s review when comparing AN:R(edux) with AN:O(riginal) V(ersion)

While it was nice to see the extra scenes remastered and integrated back into the film, why we did not see the scenes that would have been the most interesting or integral to making the story more surreal:

(1) the extended helicopter travel sequence,
(2) Dennis Hopper's death scene and especially
(3) Willard's approach to Kurtz' temple compound (though Buttergun is wrong in that it is a Cambodian guard that holds the child up, of which Willard impales them both with a spear).
