To be honest, Kurtz was the target, and Brando is a phenomenal actor, but I was far more interested in Kilgore as a character than Kurtz. Would have been a crazy twist if Sheen just ignored his mission and hung out with Kilgore and his crew, killing VC, surfing, and drinking beer. The helicopter attack scene is hands down the best part of that movie imo.

How Magnum and Higgins played off each other was awesome.
They really fucked that up in the new one, that alone sunk the repop. Plus their Magnum character looks like he's in a boy band. No credible serious edge that Selleck had in the role. The new Higgins is joke, and embarrassing.

Old Higgins was awesome. Never miss a chance to drop an old war story on you. Loved the episode about the assassin killing members of his team during the Mau Mau uprising.

Nicholas Cage as Terrence McDonagh was also amazing in Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans. That is one of my favorite movies and he plays a scumbag cop so well in it. The original Harvey Keitel one was dogshit. The Cage one was gold.

I don't know. Maybe he was behind on property taxes or something. Great movies though.
