Planet Of The Apes (1968) Starring Charlton Heston

It's starting on AMC right nowand I think it's one of the best movies around. I myslef had not seen it until about a month ago....mostly because I thought it would be stupid and lame and therefore never attempted to view it. But when I saw it for the first time I couldnt believe how good it was. Just the whole "look at yourself in the mirror" feel it has to it, with the role of man reversed and all. And of course the ending scene is possibly the most famous of all time.

Beneth The Planet Of The Apes is part 2, and follows part 1 on AMC tonight and I recomend that aswell. The only bad thing about that is the main acotr, James Franciscus, just isnt the same As Heston, but still its a great movie.

Oh, I love that movie! Now I have something to do for the rest of the night. Planet of the Apes should be shown in schools, just to teach kids that humans are not separate from the rest of nature, that we're all in the same boat. America's, and, humanity's power, can be taken away at any time, even though we think we're invincible.

Oh, by the way, which one's pinky?

I began watching "Planet of the Apes" at midnight and have always been a fan of this great movie. However, when I seen this post I thought it was quite ironic being I have always felt the last half hour of "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" was maybe the most disappointing, ridiculous and empty closure of any movie I have ever seen. I was honestly in the middle of beginning a "Worst Ending in Film" thread when my efforts were stopped with a phone call. You spend the entire movie longing for Taylor and the answers to a slew of questions. When first viewing this movie the suspense and curiosity is very exciting to only be pissed on by what I am going to call the most disappointing ending (last half hour) ever.

With that said, I also believe the end to the original is one of the BEST endings of all time.

The following are De1eted scenes and unproduced episodes from the Apes films and TV series, respectively. Please feel free to send us any corrections or contributions.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Planet Of the Apes
At the end of the movie, Taylor learns that Nova is pregnant. These scenes were shot but cut from the final film. The producers felt that having Nova pregnant changed the emphasis of the ending. The following paragraphs are from the original script by Michael Wilson and Rod Serling:



EXT. LAKE AND CAUSEWAY - LONG HIGH ANGLE SHOT - NIGHT
As previously established, the animal compound is on the outskirts of Apetown. The abductors must cross the causeway on their route of escape. In the distance, near the gazebo, we can see the lights of several torches.

The caged wagon rolls into scene and out onto the causeway. At the same time a mounted gorilla leading two pack animals appears on the far side of the causeway, coming toward CAMERA. Lucius stops the wagon.

CLOSE TWO SHOT - LUCIUS AND ZIRA - ON THE WAGON

LUCIUS
(apprehensively)
Gorilla hunters...

ZIRA

Keep moving. We can't turn back now.

BOOM SHOT - THE CAUSEWAY

As the mounted hunter nears the wagon, we can see two bodies slung across the backs of the pack animals.

FLASH SHOT - TAYLOR AND NOVA - IN WAGON CAGE

They look out at:

THE PASSING HORSES - FROM THEIR P.O.V.

The bodies on the horses are naked human corpses.

MED. LONG SHOT - THE CAUSEWAY - REVERSE ANGLE

In immediate f.g., near the gazebo, is a similar wagon. It has lost a wheel, and its rear axle lies on the edge of the causeway. Two naked primitive males can be dimly seen within the cage. Four or five armed gorilla hunters stand near the wagon: two of them carry torches; the others are passing a jug from hand to hand.

The leader of the Hunt Club, still on horseback, holds up his hand as the lab wagon approaches.


LEADER

Hold it!

Lucius obeys. The hunters on foot swarm around his wagon as their leader calls authoritatively:


LEADER

Ah, Doctor Zira! Our wagon broke
down! I'm afraid we'll have to
commandeer yours.

CLOSER ANGLE - THE LAB WAGON

as the Hunt Club Leader rides over, recognizing the animal psychologist.


LEADER
(indicating his own wagon)

We bagged two live ones today.
I'll have to ask you to take them
along.

He moves to the rear of the wagon.


ZIRA
(following him; frantically)

No, no, my animals are diseased...
Leave them alone! They're diseased,
I tell you!

Lucius jumps down and runs toward the rear of the wagon.

REVERSE ANGLE - REAR OF WAGON

The hunters have opened the tailgate and are shining their torches on the humans. They sound ready for sport.


FIRST HUNTER

Give him a taste of fire!

One of the hunters points his torch at Taylor, who, quite naturally, shrinks back as Lucius runs into scene.


LUCIUS

Stand back! He's dangerous!


FIRST HUNTER

Why?


ZIRA

He's rabid! His bite is fatal!


FIRST HUNTER

You serious?


LUCIUS

You would die in agony!

(with appropriate gestures)

Frothing at the mouth!

The hunters fall back. Lucius promptly locks the tailgate and he and Zira run back to the front of the wagon. Lucius snaps the reins and the wagon moves off. The hunters follow it a few paces, pausing near their mounted leader.


FIRST HUNTER

They treat those animals better
than they treat us.


LEADER

I still say the only good human is
a dead human.

The fugitives' wagon recedes beyond the gazebo, as we:

This is pretty accurate. Once the super people showed up it kinda turned downward. Although an interesting concept and somewhat believable (if any of its believable) i just dont think it was done right. And then it just ends.

I agree, with proper direction this twist may have well worked.

With that said, I also believe the end to the original is one of the BEST endings of all time.

Fresh off of just seeing it I'm gonna now say THE best! Brilliant.

From the Blockbuster Guide to Movies and Videos:

Escape From The Planet Of The Apes (1971)- Apes Cornelius and Zira escape the nuclear destruction of their world by arriving in present-day L.A.-then face annihilation a second time when their humans' hospitality turns lethal. Exciting, thought-provoking, and the best installment since the original entry. Followed by "Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes."

Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes (1972)- Enslaved ape Cornelius rallies his simian comrades to revolution. Answers the nagging question: How did apes come to rule earth? Fourth in the apes cycle and devolving fast. Followed by "Battle For The Planet Of The Apes."

Battle For The Planet Of The Apes (1973)- The fifth and last in the apes cycle finds human mutants trying to overthrow the simian ruling class. Totally exhausted, with lazy acting. For "Apes" lovers only. Evolved into a short-lived tv series.

I've only seen the first two, but I need to see the others now.

Anyway I caught bits n pieces of "Escape From TPOTA" its humorous and decent i guess. I missed most of it casue cause of football.
