Everything Wrong With Beneath the Planet of the Apes in 19 Minutes or Less 

(Dr Zaius Dr Zaius)

I love you Dr. Zaius!

"Can I play the piano anymore?" "Of course you can!" "Well I couldn't before!"

I understood that reference

Bust most people consider Escape from the Planet of the Apes to be a better movie than Beneath.

Well…they did have the able assistance of Dr. Milo, but yeah, the mother of all plot holes…

To be fair they thought each sequel was going to be the last so they never properly prepared an ending except for the first and last movie.

the ape oeaders knew about about the humans and the human history and about their bombs and technology, but they covered it up , for fear that their own people would follow the same path of destruction. This is why they were all living in huts and riding horseback. He sinned Dr. Saius for recognizing the bomb for what it was, but that's because Zaius read the history books and he was familiar with it.

So they didn’t lobotomize them all?

@@willtheprodigy3819 no. the only one lobotomized in the first movie was landon. Even that was done on purpose by dr zaius to prevent the truth from being revealed

@@willtheprodigy3819 no they only did brain surgery on the 2 other astronauts.

@@MurderMostFowl Only Landon. Dodge died before he could be captured.

Thank you for pointing this out.

They’re definitely not ape-ologizing for their criticismes.

If they wanted to have sex with woodwinds they would bone-oboes. (Am I doing this right?)

​​@@CinemaSinsTed Post did direct the first film for The Malposo Company- Hang em High starring Clint Eastwood.

❤❤❤❤❤😂

Absolutely terrible, you should be ashamed

'Oh shit. There goes the planet.'

Your comment rung true.

"Everything Right With Beneath the Planet of the Apes in 30 Seconds or Less"

its a movie or a documentary...? reminds of Wiluna and Mekatharra

You can’t keep a good planet down.

Maybe prequels or beneath is not canon.

What’s your point? He’s still the villain of the first movie, even if they tried to retcon him into a hero in this one. He’s a religious zealot and theocrat who puts forth the death penalty for anyone who challenges his way of doing things. I don’t get the prior defending him.

@@willtheprodigy3819 I don't think you comprehended the OP's intent.

Quite true.

"The Forbidden Zone was once a Paradise; your breed made a desert of it, ages ago!" -- Zaius knows HOW Mankind made a desert of a natural Paradise, by using horrific weapons of mass destruction. It is this secret knowledge, passed down to him from his father from his grandfather (etc. etc.) for nearly two thousand years, that justifies his reason for perpetuating a system wherein Humans are kept in a state of mute animality -- where any Human being seen or heard exemplifying signs of Intelligence would be "dissected and then killed, in that order" -- and where the simian civilization is kept from advancing too far technologically, to prevent any future possibility of there ever being another global disaster. Lucius, in the finale of the 1st film asks, "Why must Knowledge stand still? What about the future?" -- and Zaius responds, "I may just have saved it for you" after making the decision to have Cornelius's cave of artifacts destroyed with explosives brought along by the gorilla Marcus. The simian society is 'Luddite' in the extreme, with Zaius and others in charge deliberately preventing scientific advancement from getting anywhere near dangerous enough to lead to another apocalypse. Their world ends up getting destroyed because Taylor -- dying, and still royally pissed at the death of his woman Nova -- deliberately detonates that "relic from the 20th Century" -- the Doomsday Bomb, which the "Keepers of the Divine Bomb" kept operational, worshiping it as a so-called "holy weapon of peace." If the Apes had stayed out of the Forbidden Zone -- as their Lawgiver had intended them to do, having pronounced the whole area deadly -- the world would not have ended on 11-23-3955 at all.

Obviously Dr. Zaius was ignorant of the Damascus Incident, where a giant fastening nut dropped from the catwalk damaged a nuke in the silo and caused the fuel to blow (but not the nuke). TRUE STORY!

Damn you all to Hell!

Yes!

Me too!!

Which is the one with the completely wild ending

That’d be good.

@@Puncherjoe1 Beneath. They all have badass endings though. Escape and Conquest are pretty damn good. Battle and Beneath not so much, but they have mad quotable lines.

Well they did use lead based paint in the 70's. :)

Most people don't realize that the 3rd movie is actually an UPSIDE-DOWN adaptation of the 2nd HALF of the novel! that's why most of it is so good. It adapts the part of the story the 1st movie COMPLETELY IGNORED. In my opinion, even the 1st movie isn't one-tenth as good of a story as Pierre Boulle's novel. And his story has a FUNNY ending that leaves you feeling good... not depressed.

Or the Saturday Morning cartoon...... That never happend......

This was before that became a common sound effect

And they might be edited, too.

A luddite community like the Amish, if they were to be the sole survivors of a collapse of civilization and were to remain in isolation, would most probably retain their stagnant level of society, including their clothing styles and their King James Version language proficiency. Not being 'corrupted' by our Mass Media via TV and Internet, they would be living anachronisms, still going about their business dwelling in what amounts to 18th Century-level simplicity. A society that makes it their mission to stay 'primitive', going against the trend of the outside society of racing towards 'future shock', would be better equipped to survive the collapse of that ever-advancing society.

Charlton Heston didn't want to do the movie. They nagged him until he agreed, on his condition that's he'd be in the beginning, disappear for most of the film, then come back at the end to DIE. But halfway thru production, he had ANOTHER "brillaint" idea. "Why don't you BLOW UP THE EARTH? That way nobody has to make another sequel." So yeah, it's all HIS fault. (I read this years ago in the book that covered the making of the 5 films.) Ever since, when some actor pulls this nonsense, I refer to it as "pulling a Charlton Heston". Both Jamie Lee Curtis & Sigourney Weaver have done it in the years since. Maybe more.

Without coffee, tea or copious amounts of refined sugar there is very little that might stain her teeth though. And until Pepsi started targeting them specifically, black Americans used to have some of the best teeth around.

His worst, or the worst? I didn’t think his performance was particularly different than in the first film.

So ... Beneath the Planet of the Apes was ... beneath him?

The Awakening was more disappointing. Heston hated the idea of a sequel. A lot of actors back then just didn't want to do sequels at all. They were associated with b-movies, I guess. And the final vintage Apes movie was definitely a b-movie.

​@@scockery "Battle For The Planet Of The Apes?" Try a z-grade picture right there.

@@bobthebear1246 I was being kind because it features the first usage as far as I know of the Post Apocalyptic School Bus. Yes, school buses are ideal for the end of the world, see Road Warrior and Resident Evil Extinction. But who knows what the future brings? Perhaps only the dead.

Leonard Nimoy only agreed to do Star Trek II because of the death scene.

@@christopherheckman7957 I believe hestons was that he was the one to blow up the planet of the apes (literally), or that the earth gets destroyed as part of the story. Pretty sure he thought there wouldn’t be any more sequels if that happened (he has talked a lot about how he hates sequels).

@@albdamned577 According to what I've read, Heston agreed to do the film as a personal favor with the stipulation that he die in the first reel. There was a compromise where he disappeared in the first reel and came back in the last reel and blow up the planet.

@@jb888888888 yeah I knew it was something like that but I am pretty sure he came up with the idea for Taylor to blow up the planet as well, if not contractually!

Close. His initial stipulation was that Taylor had to die, not that the world would end. It was during pre-production that he got the idea that Taylor would do the nuke and the director liked the idea.

That inspired me to look up who did get the role ... and it was James Gregory, like I thought.

​@@christopherheckman7957 I think he was the NYPD inspector 🕵🏽‍♂️ Barney Miller.

It's a spoiler if you haven't already seen it.

The other day I watched a clip from the Carol Burnett show where Roddy came on. The gag was he played it straight even as he was in full makeup.

Playset? The hell was that like?

@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 It depends. There were several and they were great! I have the Ape Treehouse, Ape Village and battery-operated Action Stallion. There was also a Fortress, Forbidden Zone, Catapult w/ Horse and Wagon and Jail. They were made by the MEGO toy company. MEGO had many action figure/toy lines based on superheroes, popular movies and TV shows of the day.

@@ingredpaulson4530 I had the catapult one, my next door neighbor had one of the others (fortress) i think.

The crust slipped.

Maybe it's the one from Vegas.

@@jedsithor it didn't exist then I have been tot aht beach it is north of Santa Cruz on highway 1

There were real apes in the movie?

No, I’m saying a lot of the ape masks in that scene look obviously fake. They don’t have the same care put into them as the other prosthetic makeup effects

Those were real monkey masks. What was fake about them?

It's also a part of the hymn "All Things Bright And Beautiful" (1848).

That was a good book

XD

Just Chewbacca their riding horses and their civilization is less than 2000 years old. Still funny though! 😂

yup! that’s basically how Jermey and cinemasins was born 😅
