‘Apocalypse Now: Final Cut’ Now Out On Steelbook

Over the past few months, Lionsgate has released a series of fantastic films on Steelbooks, sold exclusively at Best Buy, including 3 From Hell. The latest to be released is the brilliant film Apocalypse Now: Final Cut in 4K Ultra. Directed by legendary Acadamy Award-winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, Apocalypse Now features a compelling story, fantastic acting, and an unflinching look at the horrors of the Vietnam war. It stands out as one of the finest films ever made.

Unfortunately Double Helix Films, the film’s production company, went bankrupt during this time, causing the production to shut down. Roughly 34 minutes of footage was shot before shut down. However, it was completed in 2012 by mixing the original footage with archive footage from the previous three films, and was given its own release.” Full disclosure, I’ve never seen “Sleepaway Camp IV” before, or any of the “Sleepaway” sequels for that matter (I know,
