😿😿
Edition screened: Paramount Blu-ray included in Apocalypse Now: Full Disclosure box set, released 2010. English language. Runtime approximately 196 minutes.
Summary: Murder of a water buffalo.
Details:
1) An adult water buffalo or cow with her feet bound is suspended in a net and airlifted by helicopter, 30:42-31:15.
2) A tethered water buffalo is killed by several hard machete strikes, 3:07:53 - 3:08:37. There are about three actual strikes to the animal’s neck and back, with these clips repeated several times and intercut with Colonel Kurtz being killed in a similar manner. It is violent and real, but not as horrific and exploitatively vulgar as slaughter scenes in many other films.
