Apocalypse Now - originally scheduled for 1976) was finally released in North America in August 1979. It was beaten to theaters (by less than two weeks) by More American Graffiti, the sequel to American Graffiti, directed by George Lucas and produced by Francis Ford Coppola. While a failure with critics, More American Graffiti was praised for its Vietnam sequences, which were shot on a low budget in California. Lucas was the executive producer on the movie, and helped photograph and edit the Vietnam scenes. Shot on 16mm stock, the sequence is meant to resemble a documentary. Lucas has said that his vision for Apocalypse Now would have been done in a similar guerrilla filmmaking documentary style.
