When I was a kid, my whole family went to an 'all nighter' at the drive-in, and saw all the Apes movies in one go.
What a great memory!
My mom and dad had 6 kids, and all 8 of us went in our station wagon hehehe@@cbennett2194
That was marquee'd as the "go ape" film festival! (if my 10yr old memory serves me correctly)
Total freak out in the end. That ship needs to be restored and preserved in a museum or display at least.
Yeah, sadly it doesn't exist anymore, but it has a fascinating history. Stay tuned
I can’t even start to express how much I love this stuff. I’m 68 years old. These movies were being made when I was a teenager and I stood in long lines to watch them. Very long lines.
I’m 68 too and I was there.
@@jerrys9226 so you’re probably also one of those guys that threw a frisbee around at the drive-in, and the drive-in was more about chasing girls than watching movies
For some reason I always really look forward to the "Danger! Danger!" sample at the beginning and end! 😄
Haha :-) that's awesome.
It blew up at the end of the movie, destroying the world. The real question is how Cornelius somehow got the spacecraft working.
plot armor
He means as a movie prop, where is it?
This has always been a huge plot hole to me. Ape City had 19th century technology. They certainly had no rocket boosters or any way to get Brent's (it would have had to have been Brent's because Taylor's was submerged) ship into space.
not Cornelius, read the comics ..... and watch Escape
This is such a great channel! I’m 68 and all those curious details I had as a kid are all be answered here. Thanks Dan!
The Icarus is probably the best looking ship I ever saw as a kid.
All I remember of this movie was looking at Linda Harrison OMG!!
I love this film because it unapologetically dark!
If I ran NASA, I'd dress up all the ground crew or carrier crew in ape costumes every time astronauts came home from space. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most people don't realize there was even a short lived TV series of Planet of the Apes. Only lasted about one season.
I own it on DVD. It's only 14 episodes. I like how it carries the same tone as the original films, as well as the same style of makeup/effects. The episodes do feel a bit repetitive with the cliched "problem of the week" format, but if you're into Planet of the Apes, or Sci-Fi in general, it's a good watch. Not sure where it falls into the movie timeline. It might be meant to be viewed as its own continuity.
I think it was pretty good......in fact one of the principle actors recently passed.... those sci Fi movie/TV adaptions were never giving a chance
I always wanted to know how the chimpanzees got hold of and learned to fly the spaceship that took them back in time.
I always wondered about that also. How did they get it out of the Lake and get it flight worthy and learn how to fly it all in such a short time.
@@robertsnyder6270 The chimpanzees used the spaceship that Brent crashed in. That ship was in the desert.
@@leonardhevia5452That would stretch credulity at least as much as a raised Icarus from the first film, given that Brent’s ship was a shambles.
I recommend the novel Death on the Planet of the Apes…it answers all questions.
@@michaelschramm1064 Agreed, I don't believe NASA engineers would have been able to salvage and reuse Brent's ship. But--Fox wanted a 3rd apes film so the writers had to come up with something.
The underground set pieces like the Queensboro Plaza station with all those stalactites, the molten city bus or the now totally underground remains of New York Stock Exchange thanks to thousands of years of erosion, were all so brilliantly made and detailed. These scenes really left an impression on me and turned my attention to the post apocalyptic genre. I never forgot them.
Stop making such great content! My wife is going to yell at me for binge watching you channel.
I had all 4 planet of the Apes record and book collection.
That's cool, but do you still have them?
I still have "Beneath the Planet of the Apes".
Yes in my record collection
Given that the apes were a pre-industrial stagnated theocracy with no machine tools, I always wondered where the gorilla soldiers got their M3 submachineguns from...
My late uncle, Fred Harpman, was the art director on this film.
Really was a good movie.
Just curious but have you considered a YT channel membership account instead of ads? Especially ads like this that have zero relevance to your channels content.
A fantastic film. Back then sequels were a new thing and, as apposed to now, you got half the budget of the original. Given that, this movie was a miracle of movie production. One of my all time favorites.
The alpha-omega bomb.
This was great! I was 9 when the original came out, I saw it at least 6 times at my local theater. Then we moved to Florida just after that. In 1970 Beneath The Planet of the Apes came out and I swear, it was like waiting for your best Birthday or Christmas morning.
I remember going to see it on opening day in Daytona Beach. I was shaking from excitement.
It remains my favorite out of the franchise.
Can you imagine having the doomsday bomb in your backyard on a big recreation of the temple?
Oh my gosh.
Oh, and THANK YOU for mentioning the Ken Films! I had stacks, I was really into 8mm movie making. I used to go to K-Mart and they'd have a whole rack and new films all the time. I must have had at least 30 of them. I wish I still had them.
Thank you for covering this, looking forward to your further videos. ❤🐵
Beneath the Planet of the Apes and Star Trek Pilot "The Menagerie" have similar plots.
I never thought about that but, you're right :-)
Would love to see a Silent Running deep dive.
I always found the mutant humans creepy, love the movie
Always a good watch no matter what age :-)
I was in the Marine Corps back in 1970 and was on R&R in Hong Kong and this movie was playing at a theater there I went to see it with a girl I met while on leave she was turned off by the violence in the movie but I loved it. Jesus has it been 54 years ago.
How did it get a G rating? Kids were tougher. They had A steady diet of war movies, westerns, and looney tunes. Drank from hoses, played in the dirt, wielded knives and b.b. guns. No one would die from eating a PBJ.
“In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.”
You said it, pal👍👍👍
Saw this in the Paramount theatre as a 10 year old . Dad dropped my brothers and sister off while he went to Bar to have a few . AH the 1960s and 70s.
my favorite of all the apes films , brent's wrecked ship , the ape army , creepy underground city of mutants , the strange mental illusions of fire , the alpha omega bomb , , , , , this fantastic movie had it all
One of my favorite movies series growing up in the 70's. I'll always remember I had no idea that the astronauts had actually landed back on earth untill the statue of Liberty revealed at the end. Blew my mind. Thanks 👍
My guilty pleasure was The Land That Time Forgot for some reason
"The sweet bang of peace." 😂👍
Nova = 10
I fell in love with NOVA,as a kid! That fur or animal skin bikini left little to the imagination, and boy did I spend sleepless nights imagining.
Haha I'm sure :-)
I met her at a convention in 2008. It was Apes 40th anniversary. She was very lovely and had some great stories to tell.
Taylor detonated the bomb at the end, THE END.
Taylor; "That's it, I'm done with this!"
Ape; "What, are you going to detonate the Doomsday Bomb?"
Taylor "No, I'm, going to call my agent to get me out of this ridiculous series!"
Ape "Wait, you mean there's going to be another one?"
Taylor "Yes, and anyone who survives the Doomsday Bomb will be in it!"
Ape "Here, let ME detonate that blessed bomb!"
--MAD Magazine, "Planet that Went Ape" parody, circa 1974
Dude I'm so glad I found this channel
I remember my brother taking me to theater in the Bronx that was showing all the originalApe movies in sequence one weekend. I know. I was spoiled. Lol
Charlton Heston agreed not to be paid for the making of Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Charlton Heston went on to say he never made a sequel of any of his movies.
Missed opportunity with Gravity when Sandra Bullock lands in the lake, crawls out, and sees boots on land. Camera pans up.... and there's an ape.
Great video! I think back to the end of the first movie when Taylor cursed mankind for blowing up the world. It was a great scene. There's a certain irony when it was Taylor himself who ended up blowing it up. That maniac!
Your nostalgia mentionings is totally relatable. It was an interesting time just before Star Wars hit to be a sci-fi nerd. Planet of the Apes, Six Million Dollar Man, Space 1999, Logan’s Run... and the means to relive those great moments before cable/vcrs was stuff like your movie reel, and I replayed soundtracks like crazy. That Fisher Price hand-crank movie viewer was even pretty good. I wonder how much the inability to "just pop the movie in and watch it again whenever" made us that much fonder of them. Anyway, very relatable dude.
I will never forget when I saw Bubble gum cards show Humans in cages from the first movie and I never saw the movie before. I thought it was REALLY Happening! I was a 10 year old too at that time.
Look at the story of Julian Assange and you'll see that it's true.
I forgot about those cards. Thanks for the reminder.
Dan I too have a soft spot for this movie,it's my favorite of the sequels. I wish Heston was in it more, but at least he's in it.
Ha! That classic submachine gun sound effect! Who didn't try to master that sound by blowing air through your tongue pressed against clenched teeth?!
This movie is definitely a guilty pleasure. Thanks again for the great video!
I was 6 years old when my parents took me to see this movie, and man was I blown away. It's too bad today's audience does not appreciate movies like this. This is cinema.
This movie is probably my favourite out of all the franchise. As a kid it was scary. As an adult it is scary to see people today as psychotic and deluded as those in the movie and capable e of the same destruction.
Very true :-)
Thanks, Dan! I saw "Beneath" multiple times at the Drive-In in 1970 when I was 14! Loved it!
"You....bloody bastard..."
It went "boom" and turned the entire planet Earth into a charred cinder.
That hum sound from the post apocalyptic subway still resonates.
Oh yeah, great sound effect.
This dude sounds like if Adam West was the narrator of A Christmas Story
What happened to the bomb?? The bomb went BOOM!
It sent Charlton Heston to ape heaven!
Today the sequel would have had double the budget. Insane they cut it in half.
Love how you tell the stories of the best of Hollywood! Thanks, Dan!
I've been watching these videos of yours and every one of them speaks to my youth and teenage years. We used to sit around and pick this stuff apart voraciously. Love your work and I'm slowly playing the game of catch up on your series. GREAT STUFF, DAN!
The 3 apes who came back in time told people they saw the entire Earth burning from orbit before the time-warp.
It was detonated. Why is this even a question?
With the final monologue from the one & only Orson Welles! Definitely great blast (pun intended) from MY past!
It was Paul Frees actually who provided the finale monologue.
I thought it was Paul Frees?
@@dougbrowne9890 Yes, I just stated that some minutes prior.
@@michaelschramm1064 Yeah, your post had yet to show up. Good call just the same.
@@dougbrowne9890 Must be a holdover from my on again-off again shadow banning by YT police.
Please consider doing The Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Fantastic Voyage to name a few. Man/Girl from Uncle.. even The Wild,Wild West.. can’t wait for the next one.
It exploded and vaporized the planet. It was stated at the end of the movie...
I love these Planet of the Apes videos. Learning a lot. Great knowledge.
I thought this was a worthy sequel to Planet Of The Apes and James Franciscus was great! Another enjoyable video! Thanx Dan!
I remember as a kid in the late 60s having a collection of Planet of The Apes bubble gum cards. I sure wish I still had them!
They’ve been reprinted in a book collection of the original Planet of the Apes bubble gum cards that came out a few years ago.
A favorite film with a powerful ending. The Apes movies were well made and well-scripted.
Brilliant video Dan
I saw Beneath when l was 15 and scared me . Great pictures of you and your brother. The last scene as Chunk blows up the world always gives goosebumps with voice over by Paul frees. Your video about the omega bomb is only time l heard about fox using sets from Hello Dolly great research. I read that fact in my book of Science fiction movies . Beneath is one of my favorite movies. Got some photos of the movie . Its very underrated Apes movie fil m .
I went Ape in 1975 at the Drive In with my family I was 8 and I was the only one who stayed awake for all of the films 🎥
Once you go ape there is no going back....although as you know you only have a real ape habit if you picked it up in the 70s
The bomb is a holy weapon of peace.
It was so peaceful after it went off.
What I always found amusing about this movie is how James Franciscus looked like a smaller version of Charleston Heston.
They hired Franciscus because of his similarities to Heston. As a kid I always got confused of who detonated the bomb - Taylor or Brent. I wasn't the only one - someone wrote in to POTA magazine asking the same question.
I seen this movie about 400 times I brought the vhs series a couple of years ago. I seen it when I was 12 years.
‘As a kid I watched the last 9 minutes of a movie where the main characters die horribly before destroying the world in nuclear fire. Watched it a million times.’
Um, that explains a lot.
I guess so...
I thought at least one of the space ship props actually sunk to the bottom of lake Powell. …for another episode…yes!
I'm surprised the Alpha-Omega missile prop wasn't reused to depict a conventional nuclear missile in later films...for example, 20th Century Fox's post-nuclear war movie "Damnation Alley" (1977).
You know you're right, I'm really surprised they didn't use that for anything else but, that's the way it goes. Thanks for the support :-) Dan
Would have made a good super villan / Blofeld plot device for James Bond movies .
Dan my neighbor was Art Cruckshank , who created the special effects for planet the apes etc. Right after I saw planet of the apes april 1968, I went next door and asked him when the sequel coming out, Art reply was how did you know we are working on a sequel, I replied I figured it out on my own. Art won an Oscar for fantastic voyage.
Oh my gosh that is absolutely amazing :-)
As Dan would say how cool is that
It’s actually my favorite one. At 5 years old my neighbor recorded the audio on a tape recorder from TV then transcribed it into play form. He wanted us to do it for the neighborhood but the sets were an obstacle.
Oh that is just a great story! Thanks for sharing. On a much smaller scale a friend of mine did a map of the underground with bomb and all and we used that map for a pen and paper role playing game session. Good fun!
Those creepy mutants with their removable faces scared the bejesus out of me as a kid, especially the one that got pin-cushioned between spiked jail cell doors! Just not what a kid wants to see at that impressionable age. (I'd rather be traumatized by huge onscreen boobies!)
That scene in the "church" was probably the most memorable thing I can remember as a kid. My dad took me to my local cinema which showed all the first 5 films. the last was 1973 ( I was 4 ) so I'm guessing I was about 8 or 9. No scenes were cut
"All things bright and beautiful the lord bomb made them all. " sung off key. It was very good
Well it just got detonated. That was the end of the movie, and mentioned in the next movie that they blew it up. So sad how so many wonderful props destroyed, left to rot.
Been waiting for this video! Can’t wait to get home and really enjoy it.
Made me look! I was a teen in the 70's and of course saw all the movies. I lived in Davis CA and they had a "go ape" showing where we watched all 5 POTA movies in one weekend. I found the entire series kind of depressing and hopeless as a story, but it was entertaining enough for a teen.
Dan- your voice is so mesmerizing and draws a viewer in to your narrative entirely! I always loved the first 2 Apes movies, after that they seemed to just get to repetitive and mundane. But you do GREAT videos! Those poor studios really missed their marks when they let props get destroyed or fall prey to the elements- imagine if they had held annual auctions for old props back then- who knows what they could have made from them! Oh well, we can dream!
I was actually a little kid in the early 1970s, I watched it and found it very extremely cool and fun to watch
I did too, and I still do :-)
I LOVE IT! I grew up on PotA, and love all of your videos about it -- please keep them coming! Thank you!!!
The "Alpha and Omega cobalt" bomb.
... right!
Gilligan stole it and is going to use it to 'persuade' Mary Ann to reveal more skin!
May the blessings of the Bomb Almighty and the fellowship of the Holy Fallout descend on us all, this night and for evermore. Amen.
Blessed be He who knoweth the name of The Bomb
Um...it went off at the end of the movie. The last line, spoken by a narrator after the explosion, is: "In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe, lies a medium-sized star, and one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now dead". That's pretty self-explanatory.
"Dr. Zaius help me"...........😆
And... Ka-boom!!
8:55 In 1973 G rating didn't mean what G means now. G didn't mean "made for kids" it meant for *G*eneral audiences.
👌
When "General Audiences" weren't hypersensitive twerps.😉✌🏾
They've been showing the Planet of the Apes series of movies on TV recently. I've watched them all.
They are all lots of fun :-)
Dan, your content (and delivery) is so mesmerising, I didn't even skip your sponsorship slot!
Beneath was also the first ape movie I saw. My cousins took me when I was 14. They saw the first and they decided to take me along to see the sequel.
Dan, you absolutely must do a video about ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS - one of the all time greatest sci fi films!!!
I've got it on DVD!
Great idea KB!!!
Perfect Sequel!
In that photo it looks like a ship from Tora Tora Tora is right beside it as well.
I saw all of them in order after the years. Even saw all 5 of them in one day. Took 8.5 hours with a date. We never got married but still keep in touch
Thanks Dan.. Another Great Review Video
Thank you sir :-) much appreciated
Congrats for one the best channels on TH-cam! 🎉🎉🎉
Hey hey! Let’s watch it!
awesome channel Dan
