"Ape Has Killed Ape!" BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES Final Scene (1973) 

Once Virgil reveals about Cornelius’s death, you can see Aldo’s gorillas lower their guns in regret and dishonour. I like to think that in that moment, while they did follow Aldo, they never wanted to hurt let alone be involved in the death of an ape child. Some even raised their swords against Aldo during the chant, as if they agree he went too far.

Aldo: Ape... Not... Kill... Ape! Caesar: you are not an ape!

I am glad my mother introduced me to this series when I was a child, and has lived to see the new trilogy and now the start of a second trilogy with Kingdom. I doubt she will be able to see the rest of the new saga with her health issues and age but so far so good, this will be the last set of apes movies for her if she does live to see part 3 of this set of films but she is so happy to see how far the tech has come and how the quality has stayed consistsnt.

This is when their timeline changed: In one of earlier films, Zira says that an ape named Aldo was the first to say "No", and this led to them freeing themselves from man and starting Ape civilization. So, in the original timeline, Aldo seized power and created a cult of personality around himself, leading to a darker version of their history.

That chant "Ape has killed Ape" will always get to me.

Caesar-You murdered my son, you murdered my son, YOU MURDERED MY SON!

Ah yes, the original Koba.

My favorite movies as a youth in the 80's. Now my seven year old loves them. I really enjoy some of the philosophical banter that I was completely oblivious to at the time.

Who is here because of "Kingdom?" Who has seen "Kingdom"? Give me your thoughts.

Caesar: “You murdered my son. You Murdered My Son. You Murdered My Son! 3:39 - 3:50 - 3:57 [Hiss] (2x)

What irks me to this very day watching this movie, NOT one single gorilla soldier tried to stop Aldo from cutting down that branch Cornelius was standing on. And even if he got Cornelius to come down from that tree, what would he do to him?

Even the apes knew gun control never works.

Impressive scene from the movie. Aldo being found out for what he did and ultimately paying the price for his crime. The anger of his fellow apes was understandable after he killed Caesars son. He also looked very frightened that he was found out and that Virgil called him out for it. Ultimately falling to his own death, his jealousy of Caesar and hatred for humans was undoing in the end.

Although I am very young and these films are not from my time, I have to say that I am absolutely fascinated.😊

When I was a kid These movies freaked me out

Here's the craziest thing, this is the first Apes movie I ever saw, and it was at a drive-in.

I enjoyed the original series, but as a young boy, I had trouble understanding it. Maybe I should watch it again.

It's a madhouse....

Excelent movie....

THESE are the REAL Planet of the Apes movies....although the new movies are fantastic....These films hit more generations (I'm 40 In September)....I was OBSESSED with these movies when I was from 6-15 and then of course the "too cool" age came and I relied on hip hop and scoring with girls....but nowadays, even if I am working on something from home and see on cable (definitely not anymore) and on a streaming app..... I go on a crazy marathon that everyone calls me an obsessed nerd which in reality nerds are actually superior and these movies are so classic, they are ageless.....The social contexts....The narrative, the plot, the characters, the absolute ageless Entertainment that the films have it's one of those films like Star Wars, Godfather, and James Bond films that would make me stay at home and watch the whole marathon and not care for the commercials.....Now that's what entertainment and what the Oscars should nominate...not some artsy fartsy film that NOONE have ever seen.....These movies were the absolute representation of ESCAPISM which is the whole point of film

Love these series

loved the original series, the limitations of the times made the directors show a different kind of movie then. very good in its own light.

I loved these movies since the first time I saw them as a kid. Solid scripts and an overall cautionary tale.

I like that they are made that Aldo killed his own kind and not that he killed their prince

Aldo just couldn't stay out of trouble with something involving a tree .

I have no disrespect for these origional movies.. but you can see where they made budget cuts in the movies, like this scene where they just repeat the same audio over and over of the crowd saying "Ape has killed ape*

I’m 29 and watched these movies growing up alongside Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Godzilla films, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, the early MCU films, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, Batman, and Superman, and I can’t be the only one who thought they were chanting A Pesky Old Ape instead of Ape has killed Ape 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why do the all lose their around?! lol.. since the first movie I have to find them on youtube

Mr. MacDonald could've said something along the lines of, "Caesar, as hard as this may be for you to hear, once upon a time wild chimpanzees killed and even cannibalized other chimpanzees that didn't belong to their respective tribes. When we humans first started domesticating you as pets, we at first told you 'no' to prevent you from attacking each other in public because we wanted you to get along with each other, and we succeeded for the most part, but we let that power go to our heads. Can't you see you're doing the same, Caesar? Can't you also see that we also didn't completely succeed? We can try to prevent the primal urge to kill. We can try to teach, and most will listen, but there will always be those that surrender to that primitive desire deep down in the primal recesses of our minds."

Watching this movie and this scene as I type this

I love these movies ❤

So this what we are gonna get in the new trilogy and I like it

I used to watch the old POTA films when I was a kid. Battle was my either second or third favorite in the original five. I know not everyone like this movie, but it was still ten times better than Kingdom of the POTA!!!

The final 3 original POA movies were cheap cash grabs. That said, I give Roddy MacDowell a lot of credit for sticking with it frkm start to finish. The only one he skipped was part two, but he had a good reason -- he was already committed to directing the movie TAM LIN in the UK, a project involving his own roots. Roddy was an important figure in Hollywood history. Hired as a child during WWII, he saw the end of the old studio system and successfully reinvented himself for the next era. RIP Roddy!

Shame the the Lawgiver's final speech had to be muted

HENCH HAS KILLED HENCH

I hope they go down this route with the new movies

Hench has killed Hench! Hench has killed Hench!

"Ape has never killed an Ape" Cannibalism: Am I a joke to you?

Those rubber mask sure had to make talking for the actors to speak and move them

Disney gets ahold of this, and it be like: MOUSE HAS KILLED APE!! MOUSE HAS KILLED APE!! duck has killed ape

Was Aldo fearful of Caesar?

Aldo: Alright, I know this sounds bad- Caesar: *Is smoldering with anger in his eyes.*

Nearly all 5 of these movies I’ve had trouble watching the last 2 minutes of, why audio why😭

Even though it's been said the tear represents that Caesar's efforts eventually failed, implying a stable time loop, I'm sure many fans prefer to think that Cornelius, Zira, and Milo coming back altered the timeline and that Taylor, Dodge, Landon, Brent, and Maddox (Brent's fellow astronaut) will arrive on a better world than they did in the original timeline.

1:52 when you walk down a bad street on payday

Ape has never killed ape Me: are you sure about that 🧐

For some reason at 6:45 there is no sound.

I’m not here just because kingdom came out, I’m only here because I prefer these planets of the apes movies to the new ones

Loved these movies growing up. I have them all including the TV series. Roddy was such a a good actor. Even under all the make-up, his eyes said so much.

Roddy McDowalls spoke volumes, speech was unnecessary

This is still the weakest of the original Apes series, but it still has its highlights.

I felt sorry for Aldo… for about five seconds.

and.. audio was cut in the end.

Help me Dr zaius Dr zaius Dr zaius oh Dr zaius.

is the last minute muted for anyone else?

Contrary to what people think, the Original Saga is a time loop. Paul Dehn, the writer of Beneath, Escape and Conquest, have made an uncredited rewrite of the Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Dehn himself stated that Caesar's tear was to tell the audience that his efforts would ultimately fail and the future of POTA and Beneath will happen. The scenes deleted from the original cut of Battle - showing the beginning of a mutant Alpha-Omega Bomb cult - support this hypothesis, and their restoration to the 2006 DVD reissue strengthens the argument for a circular timeline. Caesar's philosophy and Aldo's story will be deformed over time, Humans will become primitive again and the nihilistic ending of Beneath is inevitable.

Can I just ask a few questions? Were the apes vegetarians? Most primates don't eat meat and very little when they do. How did they get all of the leather? I want to learn more about the history of ape textiles. At some point they learned metallurgy. They either learned it or copied human practices to manufacture the guns. They also would have needed to discover gunpowder. I have so many questions.

Aldo inspired koba

Why the statue cries at the very end ?

Better than the cgi versions

You know I always prefer the Remake versions of the franchises. But usually never expected the orginal had some good writings in the terms of the atmosphere.

Underrated film out of the first 5 movies certainly better than then mess that were Beneath and Escape.

AT THAT TIME APE WILL KILL APE AND NOW HUMAN WILL KILL HUMAN VERY SAD...PEACE PLZ...

1973 Caesar vs koba 🗿

If it wasn't for Virgil I think that human race would of ended up in a different place as well. His intelligence and Ceaser's leadership help formulate a better outcome for peace

Princess Lavengra

Is this supposed to be a prequel to the first Planet Of The Apes movie considering it’s got Cornelius as a young ape? Or is it supposed to be a different Cornelius?

They sound like Harleys

Fix the audio.

In the previous movie Ceaser led the revolution and all the apes were primitive apes who couldn't talk, how comes that all of a sudden all the apes became intelligent, can talk and even know about relativity????

Far better than the Hollywood remakes.

This is where the budget of the film and series as a whole is at its absolute worst you can easily tell they are just replaying the same shots over and over again but i still enjoy it for what it is

Almost sounds like religious chant.

Is that Chicago?

Ape becomes human.

Mmm Mmm Mmm...Mmmm

What part of Detroit is this

Literally just watched this movie lol. This movie was really bad tbh.

📺猿の惑星⁉️完結編‼️
