An unused concept poster design for Francis Ford Coppola's hard-hitting Vietnamese war epic Apocalypse Now (1979). While the studio eventually settled on Bob Peak's artwork for the poster campaign, this striking photograph of a child sporting a bullet belt is certainly eye-catching but perhaps a little too contentious for mass production.
