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)
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
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!
For some reason I always really look forward to the "Danger! Danger!" sample at the beginning and end! 😄
Haha :-) that's awesome.
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
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
That hum sound from the post apocalyptic subway still resonates.
Oh yeah, great sound effect.
The Icarus is probably the best looking ship I ever saw as a kid.
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.
All I remember of this movie was looking at Linda Harrison OMG!!
I love this film because it unapologetically dark!
Love how you tell the stories of the best of Hollywood! Thanks, Dan!
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
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.
My late uncle, Fred Harpman, was the art director on this film.
Really was a good movie.
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.
Stop making such great content! My wife is going to yell at me for binge watching you channel.
Beneath the Planet of the Apes and Star Trek Pilot "The Menagerie" have similar plots.
I never thought about that but, you're right :-)
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👍👍👍
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
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.
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
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.
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. ❤🐵
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.
Dude I'm so glad I found this channel
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.
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
Thanks, Dan! I saw "Beneath" multiple times at the Drive-In in 1970 when I was 14! Loved it!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!
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
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
Taylor detonated the bomb at the end, THE END.
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 sweet bang of peace." 😂👍
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.
@@historybuff66 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.
I love these Planet of the Apes videos. Learning a lot. Great knowledge.
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.
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!
Hey hey! Let’s watch it!
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.
The alpha-omega bomb.
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
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.
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 :-)
It went "boom" and turned the entire planet Earth into a charred cinder.
The 3 apes who came back in time told people they saw the entire Earth burning from orbit before the time-warp.
By coincidence 'Beneath' was the very first none child film that I got to see at the cinema, I would've been 7 years old, it was just me and my mum... The movie made a huge impression on me also, not my favourite Ape's venture but it does hold a special place in my heart...
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 .
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!
What happened to the bomb?? The bomb went BOOM!
I thought this was a worthy sequel to Planet Of The Apes and James Franciscus was great! Another enjoyable video! Thanx Dan!
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.
@@historybuff66 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.
This was such a cool movie, saw it when I was about 6 years old, scared the hell outa me when the mutants pulled off their "faces", AHHHHHHHH !!!!!
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.
Been waiting for this video! Can’t wait to get home and really enjoy it.
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 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 for another great video Dan, keep up the good work!👍👍🦍🦧🐒
Today the sequel would have had double the budget. Insane they cut it in half.
Would love to see a Silent Running deep dive.
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 can't decide which is the best part of the movie... Nova's body or that incredible shot of Ursus at 08:47
A favorite film with a powerful ending. The Apes movies were well made and well-scripted.
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.
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 LOVE IT! I grew up on PotA, and love all of your videos about it -- please keep them coming! Thank you!!!
It sent Charlton Heston to ape heaven!
Thank you for sharing I grew up in the 80s / 90s watching the original Apes movies and TV show absolutely fascinated to this day
You have good taste, youngster 😊
Heavy Metal (the 1981 animated movie) would be a good topic. Most people do not know it but there was contention about which song went with each story. That's why some of the song selections don't connect with the sub stories.
I thought at least one of the space ship props actually sunk to the bottom of lake Powell. …for another episode…yes!
Being both a kid and a science fiction fan in the 70s, I always wondered why Charlton Heston kept getting killed at the end of his science fiction movies (Omega Man, Soylent Green (he might not have died in Soylent Green, but it's not clear)). Pre-Star Wars sci-fi was really grim! Of course, like many people of my generation, I was fully expecting to be living in a post nuclear war wasteland by now (if I was living at all, of course), so I guess it mentally prepared me for our current dystopian sci-fi existence.
Ohhh the KEN FILM reels! I remember going to the local KMART and buying those in the 70s. Had a whole library color and black and white. All silent as we didn't have a sound projector. All lost to the fires of life now.
Sigh.. So true, isn't it?
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
Dan, your content (and delivery) is so mesmerising, I didn't even skip your sponsorship slot!
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
My dad took my older brother and I to see this on a double bill with POTA in the very early 70's at the Odeon-Danforth. Still to this day it's my favorite Apes movie. Thanks for the great video Dan and I can't wait for the Icarus.
It exploded and vaporized the planet. It was stated at the end of the movie...
Flipping heck Dan. I can't believe how addictive your features and presentations are. I came across you quite by accident, and now, can't wait for what treasure you have for us next.
Keep it up. Superb.
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 :-)
They used it Taylor detonated it as he died.... as for the prop....I can't wait to hear!!!!!
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
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.
Thanks Dan.. Another Great Review Video
Thank you sir :-) much appreciated
I was 9 years old when I saw this movie. I didn't see Planets of the Apes before that, so I was completely blown away with the first scenes of Taylor finding the Statue of Liberty. And seeing the Earth blown up at the end after Brent was killed and Taylor dying, it was a dark yet super imaginative ending for an impressionable 9 year old sci-fi geek like me!
As I got older, I realized the movie was inferior to the original, yet today it has a place in my heart!
On a side note, I saw this movie alone at a theater in Durham, NC. Mom and Dad would take me to their store and I would wonder around the streets of the city by myself. How times have changed!
Yes times have changed :-) thanks for sharing those awesome memories. Cheers, Dan
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 .
Congrats for one the best channels on RUclips! 🎉🎉🎉
I always found the mutant humans creepy, love the movie
Always a good watch no matter what age :-)
Thanks Dan. Great info. Half the fun was guessing who the actors were by voice only. Many greats played in the series.
Beneath the Planet of the Apes traumatized me as a kid - remember the Apemania, that the mid/late 70's fad?
I sure do. In fact I'm friends with the guy who toured around playing cornelius. Pretty cool guy.
The bomb is a holy weapon of peace.
It was so peaceful after it went off.
It was detonated. Why is this even a question?
I love Beneath, cheap masks on the extras aside, it’s amazing what they accomplished with such a low budget. Imho, this one and Conquest are the best Ape sequels by far.
Gilligan stole it and is going to use it to 'persuade' Mary Ann to reveal more skin!
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.
