I watch certain scenes and remember when that happened, and there&#8217;s other stuff that I don&#8217;t remember&#8211;in one scene, there&#8217;s a little dance that I do, and I don&#8217;t remember doing that.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Portnow, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2012\/01\/13\/interview-juney-smith-says-good-morning-vietnam-teaches-american-history\/\">Juney Smith<\/a>, knew that &#8220;Good Morning, Vietnam&#8221; would be a great film, but the longevity came as a surprise. &#8220;I thought it was going to be a hit,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t expect it to be a hit for so long. It&#8217;s kind of a surprise. It still stands up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the best things about the film, said Portnow, was Robin Williams&#8217; performance. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great film, and I think Robin had a lot to do with it,&#8221; said Portnow. &#8220;It&#8217;s one of his best performances, and his acting was really in the pocket. And a lot of us had worked with Robin on previous films, so there was a feeling of camaraderie. It&#8217;s such an ensemble piece.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Portnow expressed interest in doing a sequel, however, the area of Thailand that was used for the film 25 years ago has changed completely. &#8220;I went back to Bangkok 24 years after the fact, I was shooting a film there,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I had a fantasy that it would be similar to how it was before, but it was nothing like the way it was.&#8221; It&#8217;s good then, that the version of Bangkok Portnow remembers has been captured on screen. <\/p>\n<p>The 25th Anniversary Edition of &#8220;Good Morning Vietnam&#8221; will be released on Blu-ray, High Definition Download and Standard Definition Digital Download Jan. 17, 2012. The film will be priced at $20.00 (for either the Blu-ray and HD Digital Download) and $14.99 (SD Digital Download). Bonus features include a production diary (which includes five features), raw monologues, the original theatrical trailer and the original theatrical teaser trailer. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/good-morning-vietnam-movie.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/good-morning-vietnam-movie.jpg\" alt=\"Good Morning Vietnam\" title=\"Good Morning Vietnam\" width=\"500\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-81920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/good-morning-vietnam-movie.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/good-morning-vietnam-movie-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Richard Portnow, who played Dan &#8220;The Man&#8221; Levitan in &#8220;Good Morning, Vietnam&#8221;, watching the film is a bit like going back in time. &#8220;It&#8217;s interesting watching a film that was made 25 years ago, you look like a kid,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We were filming in Bangkok for three months.
