The Ifugao extras were recruited from the remote village of Banaue to portray a tribe of local Montagnard Indians trained by Kurtz in Apocalypse Now to be his army of renegade soldiers. Brando apparently befriended some of the extras on set and interestingly, this is inscribed to Leighley, the name for Kurtz which Brando had insisted on before filming commenced. The name was changed back to Joseph Conrad's original character name of Kurtz in the middle of filming in the Philippines, September, 1976.
