To film a proper Vietnam wwr film, you basically have to have full cooperation from the military of a US Friendly nation in southeast Asia that has lots of 1960s US - era aircraft.
That basically means what? Thailand or the Phillipines? Maybe Australia?
Pretty limiting. It's why we'll never see anything close to Apocalypse Now ever again.

Thailand is the go to ..... good locations, great local crews, Military and government can be helpful.
It gets tricky shooting Bangkok say for Saigon. I've filmed in Saigon, but it's pretty modern now and not great for war era material. Not to mention the government likely wouldn't approve a script about the war. On my next project we are shooting in Cambodia, which is less hectic. And they drive on the right side of the road, so easier to get cars, etc.
I think you can certainly make a technically similar film to Apocalypse now, but you would need $150M to do it right. And there aren't likely many projects in that range that would get greenlit.
