[a shirtless Coppola is being interviewed in the Philippines jungle]
Francis Ford Coppola:
This movie I'm making is not in the tradition of the great Max Ophuls or David Lean even. This movie was made in the tradition of Irwin Allen. I made the most vulgar, entertaining, exciting, action-full, sensoramic, give-them-a-new-thrill- every-five-minutes, have it everything, sex, violence, humor, because I want people to come and see it. But the questions that I kept facing or running into, into the stupid script about four guys going up to kill a guy... But that was the story. But the questions that that story kept putting me, I couldn't answer. Yet I knew that I had constructed the film in such a way that to not answer would be to fail.
