IF THE LUNAR LIFT OFFS WERE FILMED FROM THE BUGGY MOUNTED CAMERA, WHY DOESN’T IT FILM THEM LEAVING THE BUGGY AND ENTERING THE LEM?
Go to the following page:
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/
and scroll down to “EVA-3 Close-out” (roughly 4/5 the way down the page). There you’ll find a series of video clips (Real Video and MPEG) of Cernan and Schmitt unloading the rover, moving the rover to its final position, and then entering the LM. The rover is parked “behind” the LM, so you can’t see the astronauts climbing the ladder, but you can see them moving around on the far side (such as when Schmitt throws his hammer).
As for why the rover was parked there, I suspect it was to have the sun behind the camera.
Then under the section “Return to Orbit” you’ll find the classical liftoff video, plus some other clips right before and after that event.
The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal has probably the most complete archive of images and video of any site devoted to the Apollo missions. Not all of the mission videos have been completely digitized, but you’ll find most of the stuff you’re asking about. Just because you haven’t found certain images or video footage at random Web sites doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

His name was Ed Fendell, a controller in Houston in charge the remotely-controlled camera on the LRV.
Yes, he had to take the signal delay into account – he had to anticipate the liftoff and rate of ascent. …
It doesn’t have to be pretty to work.
The foil acted as a thermal blanket, reflecting as much of the sunlight as possible to keep the base of the LM from overheating. The foil was only about 125 microns thick, …

The blueprints *weren’t* destroyed; they’re on file at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. Not that it matters; we couldn’t build the Saturn V today if we wanted to, because most of the technology it used is …

Some futher googling indicates that the original Saturn V plans are stored at MSFC in Huntsville, AL (which would make sense); however, the source I found isn’t authoritative (it’s a forum discussion with no links), so don’t take that as …

Paper copies were destroyed because storage costs money; many (not all) documents were saved to microfilm for long-term storage. Some of these documents are available online, such as:
