Continuity mistake: After the napalm has been dropped and Charlie Sheen is blackened from the fire (and others are dead and burned), the vegetation is all still green and unscathed. Shouldn't that also be burned and destroyed from the napalm?

As is, this movie is pretty good. For what it is for it's time and when it was made. I can see how it's a classic and it does hold up... decently.
However it's horribly dated now and suffers from the lack of technology used when filming. As good as it is, I would love to see it remade by today's standards by someone who really knew how to handle the film.

Trivia: Director Oliver Stone claimed that the lead character of Chris was largely autobiographical and mirrored many of Stone's own experiences as a soldier in Vietnam.
