Director Francis Ford Coppola was never fully satisfied with the original theatrical version, so his 2001 Redux version restored 49 minutes of previously deleted footage, for a total running time of 196 minutes. The new material consists mainly of more scenes of Kilgore during the attack on the Vietnamese village; Willard stealing Kilgore's surfboard and hiding with his crew and the boat, as Kilgore flies around looking to get his board back; Willard arranging some quality time with the Playmates for his men; a long scene with a group of old French colonists on their plantation; and Kurtz reading Vietnam reports from Time Magazine to Willard. However, in 2019, Coppola felt that he had added back too much, so he chose to re-edit the film back to a 175-minute Final Cut, mainly by removing the scenes with the Playmates and Kurz reading the Times report, and substantially shortening the French plantation scene.
