I was thinking about buying this movie on DVD, can anyone tell me about this great movie?

What is it you'd like to know about it, Jody?

it's definetly longer than the original........

Bravo has been showing this on cable -- it's longer and I think it's a bit better than the original cut.

The added scenes tie up a few loose ends. Ever wonder what happened to the Playboy Bunnies after they made their helicopter escape?? AN Redux answers the question ...

... also, Col. Kilgore wants his surfboard back ...

Don't get the Redux version. It's bloated, too long, and diminishes the original.

Buy the original and rent the Redux to at least see the deleted scenes.

Really, the original movie loses a lot of its impact with all the added stuff. I wish they would just give the option of seeing the scenes separate.

If you want to see something good, pick up 'Heart's of Darkness: A Filmmakers' Apocalypse' - a great documentary on the making of the movie.

i LOVE the redux version, yes its longer but its a movie, get a bowl of popcorn sit on the couch, and watch it...i bought it a while back and still watch it often...i'd say buy it
