The entire Planet of The Apes series, all 5 movies, then all the newer ones are some of my favorite movies. My father and i would watch these movies everytime they came on tv. Those times are some of my most cherished memories of my father. He bought me all the action figures that came out from those movies, and i have a great many more that i collected over the years.
One of my favorite quotes from this film: Zira assembles the steps and then sits. She looks up at the banana but doesn't take it. Scientist: "Why doesn't she take it?" Zira: "Because I loathe bananas." I have never forgotten that quote.
This movie has 1 of my favorite quotes: "A man could kill his brother, but he could never kill his dog." It's amazing how true that statement is in describing us a species.
@@unhommequicourt pretty sure the person who killed their dog is also capable of killing their brother and raping their daughter. The whole point that man will kill anything that gets in his way. A dog will not get in his way money property or attracting a mate. This was one of the rules from ape society from the first movie
I love the look on that guys face, you can see how terrified he is on the intelligence in Cornelius and Zira and hearing how apes mistreated the humans.
(SPOILERS) That's Dr. Hasslein. He ends up trying to change the future and save humanity by murdering Zira, Cornelius, and a young chimp which he believes to be their child. He is shot dead by Cornelius in the process, and - ironically - his actions help to create the ape-controlled future he sought to prevent.
she was always the "intelligent, yet too much kind and honest, to the point of danger" type. even in first movie putting herself and Cornelius in danger for the man and the "truth". that is why she was the sweetheart and of this franchise.
The parallels between the first two movies is brilliant. The writer(s) did an excellent job. First movie, civilised humans travel into the future landing on future earth where apes have progressed and humans regressed. Out of the 3 to have survived, 2 are captured alive, one is dissected on whilst the other is put in a cage to be experimented on later. Only then later do the apes hear this human talk and then he becomes the subject of study. Now in the second movie, 3 apes travel back in time to earth where humans are the progressed ones and apes the regressed ones. They are put in a cage to be studied. When they do finally talk they are become subjects of study. Both identical in their approach to each other with one set in the future and the other in the past but both having identical themes. Genius :)
One of the more fascinating theories I read about The Planets of the Apes movies is how time travel theories play a major role in the last three movies.
I was very lucky to have been introduced to four people important to the creation of all of the planet of the apes films. Roddy McDowall was my dear friend who introduced me to John Chambers and Linda Harrison. Years later I would converse with Tom Burman. It's been fun
My father met Roddy McDowell at Studio City Camera on Ventura Blvd many years ago and had a long conversation about some proof sheets my dad had developed. My mom asked Dad if he got Roddy's autograph and Dad forgot to ask him for one. Mom never let Dad forget that years and years later.
At least unlike in the first film where it also took place in court . They were willing to listen to Cornelius and zira. While Zayas refuses to listen to Taylor.
The one thing that amazed me in these movies is how they got it wrong when it came to the apes. In reality, gorillas are the more gentle, pacifistic of the apes only resorting to violence when provoked. Chimps on the other hand are savages in the highest degree going so far as to having actual wars with other troops. Worse yet, it's not unusual for chimps to kill a member of another troop and then eating the corpse. No other ape does this(except some humans).
Yes, the "Gombe Chimp War" is a prime example of this. They celebrate victory, parade around with the severed limbs of their victims and generally act like humans in this respect. When Jane Goodall witnessed this behaviour, it broke her heart and changed her world view, she'd studied them for years and believed they were just peaceful animals until she saw them in "war mode". I suppose "violent, warlike gorillas" is a far more dramatic and action packed spectacle for the screen though. General Ursus and his troops coming for you would be a frightening sight!
One thing this franchise shows indefinitely is that humans have quite a long way to go. Especially if anyone has considered what will happen with all possibilities when or if that meteor hits us. And if we want to see and survive the aftermath at all.
These old "Planet of the Apes" movies were good in their time, but the latest iteration is brilliant in that it started from the very beginning and the apes are much more realistic (short of speaking and doing things like humans, of course). Yeah, in the old series, the origin of intelligent apes finally is created, but out of a hokey paradox. If I had a choice between the two, I would take the new iteration but only with the hope that eventually they will have a "Planet of the Apes" movie with returning astronauts far in the future. (Note: someone released "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" on RUclips a few weeks ago and I watched it for the first time.)
Jim here in Vega$,Huge fan of these 5 movies. Cornelius and Zira Signed Their death warrants the way they talk to the committee. When they both first spoke, They should have told the committee right from the jump that they were from the future, And that's how they landed on earth, And that they knew taylor, And how they helped taylor out when he was jumped into their future. They made a big mistake of talking about what apes did the humans in the future. They should have kept that to themselves and not told the committee that. Zira, Hurt herself bad by telling them and then stopping in the middle of the sentence about what she used to do to humans. They should never mention none of that. Just say we're from the future, We knew taylor we helped him out, And that when the gorilla's broke out a war, Over. Territorial, That's When we escaped. They would have been treated so much differently, By doctor hasline. And he wouldn't have interrogated them the way he did and Wanted them to be executed. They killed everything by telling, The government what apes were doing to humans in the future, They should have kept that to themselves. They knew themselves what man's downfall would be, And that man would destroy the earth and be dominated by apes in the future. They should have just let them see for themselves when that happens. I was very sad when cornelius and Zira got murdered. But the baby survived and I Understand why he did what he did in the next movie to make humans pay for how they treated the apes that wasn't right. I'm addicted to these movies.I watch them over and over again. Love the last scene in the first movie with the statue of liberty. With everything going on in our society.Right now you would wonder that man's gonna end up destroying his self just like in these movies.
Indeed, and I suspect that Roddy McDowell knew that spontaneously saying that adlib was the only way to make that part of the scene to work out that way. More or less the same situation within ST3-TSFS with Deforrest Kelley's suggestion of " That Greenblooded Son of a bitch - revenge for all the arguments he lost!" That worked as well in 1984 for that film. Slight difference but in many ways the same!
@@MarvNARK um, yes. Children mimic their parents inflection. You see it all the time. Look at your friends and their children. The kids talk just like their parents hence it makes sense that the apes, who as Cornelius said descended from the first ape who could talk, Aldo, was taught from one generation to the next. It stands to reason they'd have the same accent.
I'm still waiting to see the current iteration of the Apes series remake some of these later movies and put a new spin on them. I was hoping that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was a remake of the original, only with a female astronaut. But I was sadly disappointed.
Hokey, silly and covered in a veneer of 1970's moviemaking, 'Escape" is my favourite of the Ape movies. (The breathtaking realism of the current franchise notwithstanding.) "Escape" combines fish-out-of-water within a dystopian tale to provide an exciting (albeit preposterous) 3rd chapter extension to Pierre Boulle's Ape universe (and probably gets closer to his vision than any of them - his ape planet was a modern society after all). "Escape" is to the Apes movies what "The Voyage Home" was to Star Trek - great Time Travel fun for the fans. And how can you not love a sequel that becomes the origin story. Modern films could borrow some of the imagination on display here. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Even though it's a ok movie it's a good example of the Arrogance of man! Being the past or Presents, Thinking that the Humans are the only ones in the Universe is Is absurd.
Whoops! And you know - this is only a speculation - or a partial what if. I had been there. I would have exercised my right to pose a very obvious point to both Zira and Cornelius " Your response, Cornelius would have been atypical coming from a different set of humans from a country called Britain...' Only when she lets me! ' in reply to the question posed by the chairman of this committee - certainly apply a certain laconicism as to whether or not you speak is atypical of a male spouse - saying exactly that of the female! Which probably won't allow you to get a word in edgeways - anyhow! Indeed, only when she permits you to do so! " By posing that point - I would have emphasized the view of the British Government to that obvious point! The similarities outweigh the difference between us and the Apes. As such a visitor from both a very different Earth from 2000 years in the future, still making the point that a visitor is still a visitor! Still - that line is still unique and highly original! But it's common to Britain. Because a couple would act that way!
"Does the other one talk?" "Only when she lets me." Priceless!
And at that moment, the human villain immediately stands up, realising what a massive THREAT the apes pose.
So much like us heh.
I heard that part was improvised on the spot.
Sure is priceless.
If it was improvised that would explain her pause before laughing so hard at it
Their ability to act through that makeup is astonishing! What talent!!
A testament not only to the quality of the actors performance, but also the phenomenal job of the makeup itself!
It is not a hard thing to do. Just act like how you were going to anyway
They probably had mouth prosthesis to move their lips and their words were likely dubbed in later?

This was one of the best ways to do a sufficiently divergent sequel only a few years after the original classic. 👍🏻
