Our expert's notes

A sealed pack of Air Cav death cards from Francis Ford Coppola's Oscar®-winning Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now. Lieutenant-Colonel Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall) used Air Cav playing cards as 'death cards' to show who had killed Vietnamese villagers.

The plastic-sealed playing cards bear the emblem of the First Air Cavalry Division with Kilgore's helicopter motto 'Death From Above' over a green and white lightning bolt design. The cards are accompanied by two behind-the-scenes photographs from the production, featuring a topless Francis Ford Coppola, Frederic Forrest and Sam Bottoms. The photographs display some light wear around the edges. Card dimensions: 9 cm x 6 cm x 2 cm (3 ½" x 2 ½" x ¾"); Photo dimensions: 9 cm x 11 cm (3 ½" x 4 ½")

Please note the photographs in this lot are sold without copyright, reproduction rights, licensing agreements or any other type of legal release.
