The fact that the director of The Conversation, 2 Godfathers and Apocalypse Now then made this movie is beyond odd - it's more like the experimental debut of a director just out of art school.

I think you both misread HJ's point.

When Coppola made Rumble Fish, he'd already made The Conversation, two Godfathers and Apocalypse Now, meaning it's a completely different direction to take.
