For the most part it did only contain reprints (albeit with new covers
sometimes), but when they ran out they began to reprint other strips
(I think it was maybe Killraven?) with ape heads drawn on!

.htmlChimpanzee?
Zira of course, with Ari a close second

Orangutan?
The Orangette in the book shop.  She's . . . one of a kind!

Gorilla?
Ursus  He's so over the top!

Human?
Nova  Daena would be nice too, if she could just take a page from Nova's book and learn to shut the hell up!

Mutant?
uhh... I guess that mutant chick with Klob.  Not big on mutants.

Favorite overall character?
Zira  Of course!

Favorite Ape costume?
Zira #1  The was that green had browns and oranges in it was just amazing.  Her Escape one was too green.  But her human out fit was very smart and stylish.

Favorite Villain?
Ursus.  He was so bad he was good.  And he wasn't pure evil like Thade.  He wasn't mean because his main squeeze dumped him!  He was mean because he was trying to feed his people.  That and he was just mean.

Favorite Hero?
Zira  She really went out on a limb for Taylor.  No pun intended.  And did all she could to protect her child.  Then again she could have just cut out Taylor's brain and save everyone a lot of trouble.  It wouldn't have made a very interesting story though.  You'd have had enough material for a Twilight Zone episode or a Tales from the Crypt.

Favorite Setting? (i.e., Ape City in Planet, Futuristic City in
Conquest, etc.)
Ape City.  I'd love to stroll it's streets.  Check out its museums.  Buy some exotic produce in its markets.  Swim in the lake.  Ahhhh. 

Favorite Music Score?
The Suite from Escape.  Though that funky song from Conquest is good too.  And the new one was actually one of it's good points.

Favorite Opening Titles?
The original can't be beat for it's beautiful simplicity.  Escape was great too.  The Y2k1 had such promise and the music was great!  It made you think "This movie might just be great!"  But it went downhill from there.

*** How many modern bridges that are NOT made out of bricks actually
LOOK like they were? The "Ape City" of PLANET and BENEATH look like
they were carved out of stone, but not because Bill Creber's crew
actually chiselled them out of rock--that would have been a ridiculous
method for the "stagecraft" of movie-making. Rather, they constructed
those sets to LOOK as if they had been carved out of stone. Just like
they made the full-scale mock-up of the spacecraft out of WOOD, and
made it LOOK like it was made out of metal.
Now I've gone and done it! Somebody out there is going to insist that
Taylor's ship was actually constructed by ANSA technicians out of
wood... just because the set-piece they used out at Lake Powell was
made out of wood!
What makes the most sense, regarding the way the apes made their
"Flintstones-like" City? Remember that winding pathway Taylor descends
through the Zaius Museum when gorillas are chasing him, in PLANET?
Does it seem reasonable to you (or anyone) that that was made out of
rocks glued together with plaster? What other sort of "advanced
building technique" might have resulted in that particular bit of
construction?
My "mentality" about all this is to choose what I think makes the most
sense: that the Apes carved out the rocky area, chiselling out the
amphitheater, hollowing out various big rocks and making window-
openings and doorways (into which they fitted their wooden doors),
etc. In other words, the Apes probably did with this particular site
what the "troglodytes" of Cappodocia did to THEIR site, in Asia Minor,
making it look similar to the scene that Creber saw in that old
architectural book. It makes more sense than to suppose that they
built it with plastered-together smaller rocks.
But, hell, feel free to disagree, if it makes you feel any better.
Just don't expect me to buy into a notion I think is far-fetched.

As regards the Central City architectural style, yes I DO think that
it--like PLANET & BENEATH's "Ape City"--was ALSO carved out of rock.
The idea that the Apes have some kind of "advanced" techniques of
constructing things is ludicrous: they whole POINT of the set design
of PLANET was to emphasize the fact that this is a MORE PRIMITIVE
SOCIETY than our own. Originally, PLANET was going to be set in a
"modern" kind of society (just as Boulle's novel was), with cars,
helicopters, airplanes, etc. In order to cut down on costs (i.e.
designing "alien" cars, helicopters, etc.), they decided to make the
Ape culture MORE PRIMITIVE than ours, in a "horse-and-buggy" stage of
technological development. This choice was justified, in the end, by
the thematic thrust of the plot: that the Apes (Zaius and his ilk, the
ones in charge) had a profound DISTRUST of higher technology, and
purposely kept their society in a lower state ["Why must Knowledge
stand still? What about the Future?" asks Lucius; Zaius: "I may just
have saved it..."]. This "luddite" mentality was meant to hold back
the impetus of technological development, keeping the Apes in a "dark
age" so as to ward off the possibility of there being ANOTHER
CATASTROPHE like that which wiped out the prior Human civilization.
Carving dwelling places out of solid rock is, perhaps, the OLDEST form
of "housing construction" ever done (the Cappodocian troglydyte city
is thought to be, by some, older than the Sumerian cities). Now, it
may be a "fad" for modern day people to "dress up" in the garb of
prior ages (like at Renaissance festivals, or Bible-based "theme"
parks), but for a society (i.e. the Apes) to purposely create a "faux
Stone Age" dwelling using alleged "advanced" methods is a notion I
find ridiculous.
But, hey, James & Mlccougar... go ahead and think what you want to
think.

*** The "area" which I think the "greenbelt" is supposed to be... I'm
assuming you're referring to Cornelius' Map, and the place where you
have the arrow pointing from what you label the "Forbidden City"
towards the "top" of the map. Cornelius tells Taylor plainly that he
had been captured in that green patch, just to the Left of the dashed
line demarcating the Forbidden Zone (near the Top of the map).
Cornelius differentiates that spot (with its Waterfall & Pool, its
Cornfield, etc.) from the OTHER green area where he says "We're HERE"
(i.e. the location of "Ape City"). You with me on this, so far?
To the RIGHT of this area is the body of water in which Taylor's ship
landed--called "Dead Lake" by Cornelius (and "an inland sea" by
Zaius). As Taylor hand-mimes his journey from Splashdown-to-Capture
(going from Right-to-Left across the Map), Zira gives voice to it by
saying, "...marched across the desert... MOUNTAINS... many days and
nights... and reached the Jungle..."
Notice that when Zira says the word "mountains" she can ONLY be
referring to the area where you say the "Forbidden City" is. In
PLANET, as the astronauts walked through it, those "mountains" were
indeed visible--at one point, they have to "go back" and find another
way, since they ended up at a cliff's edge. NONE of this terrain looks
anything like what is seen in BATTLE, by the way.
Let me ask you this: IF Caesar (& pals) had fled from Kolp's ruined
underground city by "heading North" first, rather than WEST, which
would have gotten him back to his "Ape City" quicker... WHY would he
do this? Why take a longer route back home, especially when gun-
blasting Mutants were right behind them? If anything, Caesar, Virgil,
and MacDonald would have taken the SHORTEST route back home, in haste
to get back and clue the Council in on the fact that the Forbidden
City was still inhabited--by unfriendly Humans.
The Mutant scouts FOLLOWED Caesar (& Virgil & MacDonald) back to "Ape
City" (the TREE-FORT town) and then returned to Kolp with descriptions
of it (and of its orchards... and the "council of war" they spied on).
If this "Ape City" WERE to the WEST of Kolp's "Forbidden City", then
the Mutant scout who reported back to him should have done Kolp a
favor and told him straightforwardly that "Ape City is WEST of here"
and pointed to its position on the map that was unrolled in front of
them both. But NO... the scout says that Caesar headed "to the NORTH"-
-which is what makes sense if Caesar headed BACK to his city, a
direction that the scouts followed TO that city and from which they
came back. He doesn't tell Kolp that Caesar headed "to the North...
and then LATER ON to the Southwest..." He only says "to the North."
Ergo, the "Forbidden City" of Kolp & Mendez in BATTLE is SOUTH of
Caesar's treefort "Ape City". And, since the "Ape City" of PLANET and
BENEATH is not made out of treeforts, and the Forbidden Zone is to the
RIGHT of it on the Map (a direction YOU think is EAST, and which I
think is NORTH), then these are TWO DIFFERENT "APE CITIES".

*** You mean, playing "devil's advocate"? The only problem with that
is that by trying to "out-debate" the opposing side when you KNOW that
your own side is false, requires ignoring at least SOME of the
evidence--the evidence which disproves your own side. If I were to
take up James' side on the Map Debate, I would have to do just what HE
has done: brush off Cornelius' remark about Taylor being "towards the
NORTH" (in BENEATH) as being nothing more than "a vague line".
Unfortunately, there's nothing "vague" about it, and if you have to
take it into account, it forces you to re-think what the Map is
telling us.
You imply, below, that I'm the one here trying to "mathematically
PROVE that the earth is flat". Did YOU take debating at school? As
I've mentioned before, that is the classic "Straw man" argument--you
pretend that I stand for something patently ridiculous, point out the
ridiculousness of that position (which I do NOT hold, but which you
try to get others to think I do), and then spuriously regard ANYTHING
I might believe which is contrary to your belief to be innately
ridiculous. I don't believe in the "Flat Earth" theory, and there's
absolutely no way to "prove" it mathematically--another fallacy of
your logic. You like to dismiss Math when it cannot serve your
purposes, but as any professional scientist will tell you... if you
can't put it into Numbers, it ain't Science. The reason we no longer
believe in the "Four Elements" of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, and
believe instead in the Periodic Table of Elements is because the lab
workers who devised it had to do so in a way that made sense out of
the numbers in their experiments. The elements are what they are
because of strict mathematical rules--the number of protons, the
valence of each element, which element can chemically combine with
another, etc. The chain reaction which produces nuclear explosions was
worked out with strict mathematics--you can't just ignore the Numbers,
when you're concocting ANY theory; you have to be able to make SENSE
of the numbers in order for your theory to be USEFUL.
And that's the whole point of my own "modus operandi" regarding the
POTA saga; I'm writing a novel which has--as source material--5 movies
and 14 TV episodes which have SPECIFIC mathematical material in them,
material which is--at first glance--merely a bunch of "mistakes"
("flubs"). My scenario is like a SCIENTIFIC theory which makes sense
out of the raw data, so that the numbers DO have relevance.
To give an example: recently, some have posted that they feel the
"Breeding Annex" chimpanzee female (from CONQUEST) with whom Caesar
mates IS Lisa (and not some OTHER female chimp), and that the child
born from that impregnation is Cornelius (the boy chimp in BATTLE).
And yet, in BATTLE Mandemus tells Caesar that he has been the Keeper
of the Armory "for TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS..." and previously MacDonald has
pointed out that Mandemus "may be old, but his MIND is as SHARP AS A
RAZOR." If Mandemus' mind is so "sharp", why would he say he's been
living in that Armory for 27 years, when Cornelius absolutely can NOT
be that old? Either Mandemus is deranged regarding the amount of time
he's been living in and guarding Caesar's stash of weapons (and WHY
would Caesar allow a deranged old ape to carry out that task?), or
Cornelius can NOT have been conceived by Lisa in the Breeding Annex
scene in CONQUEST. Logically, Mandemus must be telling the truth when
he states that "27 years" line, which dates BATTLE at circa 2018 A.D.
(1991 + 27), at the earliest. Logically, too, Cornelius--a mere boy in
BATTLE--cannot have been conceived during the events of CONQUEST,
since he's not 27 years old--so that the female chimp in the Breeding
Annex, even IF she too were portrayed by Natalie Trundy, cannot also
be Lisa--at least, Cornelius cannot have been conceived then. Maybe a
FIRSTBORN, other child could have been born to Lisa (if, that is, this
is Lisa) then... but not Cornelius.
Then again, there are those who just want to ignore the "27 years"
line, and concoct a Timeline which doesn't have to deal with that
"ugly fact" which ruins an otherwise "beautiful theory". Being so
selective with the "evidence" is NOT how anybody gets to "the Truth".
Not in my book.

    *** Type in the apostrophe symbol as you hold down the "option/alt"
    button. Set the "caps lock" button down in order to get the capital
    letter version "Æ". By the way, the other Latin diphthong, "œ, Œ" can
    be typed by doing "option q,Q". Just for gits and shiggles, hold down
    the "option/alt" button and type along the rows of letters, and you'll
    find all sorts of fun letters, including "option s", which gives you
    the "double s" that Germans would use to type in the name "Hasslein":
    "Haßlein". "ß" may look kinda like the lower case "b", but it actually
    is supposed to be a one-letter version of the two-letter "ss"
    combination. If you ever have an itch to peruse facsimile editions of
    Renaissance literature (like the Shakespeare First Folio, or his
    Sonnets), you'll find the use of "æ", "œ", and even an English version
    of the Germanic "ß" quite prevalent.

    Although this posting is supposedly "OT" ["off topic"], I'd like to
    share one little nugget of POTA-related info. The "name" of the
    character "Hasslein"/"Haßlein" is NOT listed in any German dictionary
    of Names that I've ever seen. I doubt if there is or ever was a person
    who actually had "Hasslein" for a last name. Why Serling/Wilson came
    up with "Hasslein's Theory..." rather than just using the name
    "Einstein" is another debate.
    I looked up the "name"/word "Hasslein" in a German-to-English
    dictionary and didn't find it... but I DID find the word "haß"/"hass",
    which means HATE, or Anger. There was no indication in either PLANET
    or BENEATH that this "Hasslein" character was in any way a "hateful"
    person... but in ESCAPE, Otto Hasslein's "hatred" for the Ape-onauts
    is established, as well as a justification for that hatred (his fear
    that their progeny will reduce Humanity to a state of servitude and
    savagery).
    On page 386 of "The Encyclopedia of the Third Reich", I found this
    rather interesting passage:

    Hass (Hass), the most extreme degree of dislike or aversion,
    revalued positively in National Socialist usage as "heroic hate,"
    because it derived from a "consciousness of duty and responsibility"
    and expressed "inexorable," "honest," and "courageous HARDNESS"
    (Meyers Lexikon, 1938). Contingent on heredity, such hate was
    imaginable only in the "Nordic race" and stood in "the most extreme
    opposition" to the "cowardly hate of Jewdom."

    It's too bad that Serling (and Wilson, too?) isn't alive to ask what
    he was thinking when he made up the "name" of "Hasslein". As it
    stands, the "name" is a conjunction of the two German words "haß"
    ["hate"] and "lein" ["line, lineage"], which suggests "lineage of
    Hate" or "bloodline of Hate, that "hate" being--perhaps--the Nazi
    ideal of "righteous" Hatred: the attitude which allowed them to use
    their "Will" to commit acts of Genocide.

    *** I did NOT just describe the "Steady State" theory--I was referring

    (winner of the Nobel prize for his work on Magnetohydrodynamics), and

    *** If I saw one shred of undeniable evidence that "God" exists, then
    I'd believe. Just because the majority of Humanity believes in SOME
    type of supernatural "Invisible Man" (as George Carlin referred to
    "Him"), doesn't mean that the belief is justified. Nobody nowadays
    seriously believes in the Græco-Roman deity Hephæastus/Vulcan as being
    an ACTUAL existing being, dwelling below Mt. Ætna and making Jupiter/
    Zeus' thunderbolts, etc. Why people continue to believe in Jehovah/
    Adonai Elohim/Allah/etc. goes to a different aspect of the Human mind,
    an aspect that has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the Scientific
    Method. Christians (and Jews and Muslims) scoff at people who believe
    in "fairies", "elves", "leprechauns", etc., knowing that those old
    legends are just folk superstitions; yet Christians (etc.) cannot
    PROVE that elves (etc.) do NOT exist... the same argument they use to
    ward off the objections of atheists & agnostics who say "Prove God
    exists". Nobody can "prove" that God (or "the Gods") do NOT exist, but
    the burden of proof is not on the Unbeliever--it's on the Believer.
    Given the horrid consequences of that Belief (which has led to more of
    "Man's Inhumanity": Warfare, Genocidal Pogroms, the "practice" of
    Circumcision and--Ugh!--"clitoridectomy"), the world would be better
    off if people had LESS religion--less of a reason (or "excuse") to
    commit acts of intolerance for the so-called "enemies of God". Didn't
    we see enough of the consequences of that rabid religious fervor on
    September 11th?

    As far as the Universe just "happening"--there are those who point to
    Quantum Mechanics, and to the peculiar way in which at the quantum
    level PAIRS OF PARTICLES (such as an Electron and its antimatter
    equivalent, the Positron) can just "happen", coming into existence
    briefly before vanishing out of existence... mere fluctuations of
    "zero point energy" in the Quantum Foam, which do not have enough
    "time" to violate the Conservation of Mass/Energy. If two particles
    (each having Mass) can spring into existence OUT OF NOTHING and then
    just disappear back INTO Nothingness... then why, in principle, can't
    the entire Universe be just one humongous "quantum fluctuation"?
    The reason I pointed out the "Beginning" bit was because of Christian
    pseudoscientists who tend to favor the "Big Bang" theory BECAUSE the
    Bible begins with the idea that there WAS a "beginning". Genesis 1:1
    states that not only the Earth but "the Heavens" (Heb. "ha-Shamayim")
    were created by God "in the Beginning". In other words, the Heavens
    (Outer Space, the Galaxy/galaxies, the Universe) once did NOT exist,
    but then God brought them INTO existence through an act of Creation.
    There cannot have been a "Big Always" of the Universe if there was
    ALSO a "beginning"; that's why Bible-believing Christians will never
    accept a theory of cosmology which doesn't have a "beginning": the
    Plasma Cosmology will always be "anathema" to Christians who insist on
    their Bible being "inerrant".

    Spot on - in fact, the final scene of Planet demonstrates that Zaius
    might arguably have been right all along.

    This is something I love about all the films in the series - there are
    very few people who are clearcut "heroes" or "villains". Misguided

    That's a tough one. I'm going to open it up a bit and break it down
    into the five separate films... (I know a few people on the list like
    the posters, so let's your opinions...)

    PLANET - Oh, so many to chose from. One of the following:
    - The French one that was used on the cover of Varese's CD
    - The one with the thin vertical pictures of Taylor, Zaius, Nova and
    Marcus on a black starry background with the blurb along the top
    - The Polish "Planeta Malp" one. Okay, so it gives away the ending,
    but what a striking image.

    BENEATH - again, lots to chose from:
    - The regular one showing Brent & Nova emerging from the tunnel and
    the ape army on the march
    - A French (I think?) poster showing an image similar to the above but
    with Ursus's maniacal head at the top
    - Italian (?) poster showing Ursus, Brent and a mutant with the
    exploding Earth in the background. Again it gives away the ending but
    what a brilliant painting

    ESCAPE - Belgian(?) effort showing Cornelius and Zira on the run,
    primarily in red, black and white.
    I have another one (french) which is ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE(!!!), showing
    the apes in their ANSA uniforms and is quite good in design but I
    don't think the standard of the illustration is quite as good as some
    of the efforts for earlier films, so it doesn't quite make my
    favourite.

    CONQUEST - The huge CONQUEST logo (lettering done in an imposing
    manner similar to, for example, the El Cid poster, but sloping away in
    the distance) showing Caesar and the rioting apes. Brilliant.

    BATTLE - Hmmm, I'll need to think about this one a bit more, as I
    can't think of too many Battle designs that are particularly good. The
    most common one, of Aldo hoisting a mutant soldier into the air while
    the background shows the final fight, is poorly illustrated when
    compared to the majority of other posters.

    I agree with all of your choices. Minus one, Zira and Ari are a tie in my case. :o)

    Chimpanzee?
    Zira of course, with Ari a close second

    Orangutan?
    The Orangette in the book shop.  She's . . . one of a kind!

    Gorilla?
    Ursus  He's so over the top!

    Human?
    Nova  Daena would be nice too, if she could just take a page from Nova's book and learn to shut the hell up!

    Mutant?
    uhh... I guess that mutant chick with Klob.  Not big on mutants.

    Favorite overall character?
    Zira  Of course!

    Favorite Ape costume?
    Zira #1  The was that green had browns and oranges in it was just amazing.  Her Escape one was too green.  But her human out fit was very smart and stylish.

    Favorite Villain?
    Ursus.  He was so bad he was good.  And he wasn't pure evil like Thade.  He wasn't mean because his main squeeze dumped him!  He was mean because he was trying to feed his people.  That and he was just mean.

    Favorite Hero?
    Zira  She really went out on a limb for Taylor.  No pun intended.  And did all she could to protect her child.  Then again she could have just cut out Taylor's brain and save everyone a lot of trouble.  It wouldn't have made a very interesting story though.  You'd have had enough material for a Twilight Zone episode or a Tales from the Crypt.

    Favorite Setting? (i.e., Ape City in Planet, Futuristic City in
    Conquest, etc.)
    Ape City.  I'd love to stroll it's streets.  Check out its museums.  Buy some exotic produce in its markets.  Swim in the lake.  Ahhhh. 

    Favorite Music Score?

    Anthropologists working in the bleak desert of Northern Chad have unearthed the
    7 million- year-old skull of the oldest human ancestor yet found, offering the

    humans and apes diverged from a common ancestor.

    I've always wondered why Taylor was so upset at the end. Was it
    because his civilaztion had been destroyed? Or was it because he
    realized Zaius was right? (Or maybe because he had just spent the

    Zaius and the PLANET Lawgiver were bigots, and the way Zaius treats Taylor and
    Landon are the immoral actions of a bigot. We never saw Taylor "kill for
    sport, or lust, or greed". On the contrary the movie showed in the opening
    scene that Taylor has pacifistic sentiments. We did see the apes kill for sport
    though. Taylor was being judged on the basis of how other individuals of his
    species (a stand in for race) acted.

    The movie is extremely clever here in showing how easily prejudces can be
    spread. People often say that Zaius was "right", but that is simply Zaius'
    prejudices spreading to the movie's audience. Most humans in fact do not "kill
    for sport, or lust, or greed". Throughtout the five movies each side is
    constantly prejudging the other, even though their were no real moral
    differences between the humans and the apes.


    >This is something I love about all the films in the series - there are

    perhaps, flawed definitely, but very few out and out villains.

    Let's not let Zaius off so easily. Like Hitler and Bin Laden, Zaius was
    KILLING PEOPLE because he was misguided. But that is more than misguided,
    that's evil. The other villians in the POTA film series were also trying to
    kill people. Zaius was very convinced he was right, but so was Bin Laden and
    Hitler. The fact that Zaius and characters in POTA behave like people
    in the real world is part of what makes the movies so great.

    I for one WILL think what I want.

    And by the way, if I'm remembering correctly, someone (was it you??) stated that the area in which POTA takes place was drastically changed by a volcanic eruption?? HMMM.... Maybe that's where they just happened to find a HUGE area... The lava musta just laid down this perfect sized area in which they decided to carve their city... How convenient for them.

    And one more thing... How did they build the buildings on the hillsides? Are you going to say they are part of the hill, because you'd be quite mistaken if you did. Their coloration is NOT of the color of the mountains, and even if they blasted rock away from the sides of the hills, the lighter (exposed) rock underneath would not be the same color as the buildings. Face it, they constructed those dwellings.

    Hitler was just trying to do what he thought was right.  Bin Laden was just
    trying to do what he thought was right.  Even the "Lucifer" character in the
    bible was just trying to do what he thought was right.  Evil almost never
    recognizes itself, and the best movie villians are not simple.


    I believe you mean Satan.  He was the evil one cast out.  Lucifer is always trying to tell God that people don't really love Him.  But I'm sure that Patrick is an expert on theology as well, so he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

      It's odd that Roddy would say it's plywood, even if he was reading a script. He had as much contact with it as anyone, in "Escape" and the TV show. I'm afraid we have no choice. We must destroy our copies of "Behind the POTA". It's all a pack of lies. - - - Jeff

    Maybe the 'Escape' and TV series ship was plywood and the 'Planet' one was metal. It's my belief ( for whatever THAT's worth) that there were two ships. The metal one submerged in Lake Powell ( which feasibly Roddy never saw up close as he didn't have any scenes with it) and the 'complete' ship w/ side hatch seen in the pilot episode of the series and in Escape. If you compare the two ( this is your cue Mr DVD frame grabber), I don't think the escape one is as big and wouldn't have the room for the nose escape hatch. But that's just me, what do I know? Hey, who's that hiding on that grassy knoll?

      Well, Bill saw the ship on the Fox backlot in '71 during the filming of "Conquest" (that same day he took home movies of Roddy and Natalie being made up; that's the Natalie stuff seen in "Behind"). Looks like the one from "Escape". Etc.              - - - Jeff

    Maybe the 'Escape' and TV series ship was plywood and the 'Planet' one was metal. It's my belief ( for whatever THAT's worth) that there were two ships. The metal one submerged in Lake Powell ( which feasibly Roddy never saw up close as he didn't have any scenes with it) and the 'complete' ship w/ side hatch seen in the pilot episode of the series and in Escape. If you compare the two ( this is your cue Mr DVD frame grabber), I don't think the escape one is as big and wouldn't have the room for the nose escape hatch. But that's just me, what do I know? Hey, who's that hiding on that grassy knoll?

      It's odd that Roddy would say it's plywood, even if he was reading a script. He had as much contact with it as anyone, in "Escape" and the TV show. I'm afraid we have no choice. We must destroy our copies of "Behind the POTA". It's all a pack of lies. - - - Jeff

    Bill Blake verifies that. He examined the ship on the backlot. I've seen his home movies. It was metal. He complains the "plywood" reference comes from the Marvel mag and just keeps getting repeated. - - - Jeff


    I just read an article about this ship and it says "The full size prop was last seen rusting away in the back lot of the 20th Century Fox studios..."

    So now, we have Blake's word on it, the article I mentioned, I believe the Icarus websight says it as well, soooooo, I'd say that the prop ship was indeed metal.

    I bet you wouldn't sympathize with Zaius if you were one of his victims
    like Landon. As Zaius' surgeons are getting their knives out to cut your
    brain open would you be thinking to yourself "Oh well at least the guy means

    Mr. Zanuck only did "Jaws" and "Jaws 2". He also did "Cocoon" and "Cocoon

    grade school; I've never seen that there was a conflict.

    Both the Behind documentary and the POTA revisited book say it's the
    same ship.

    I just read an article about this ship and it says "The full size prop was last seen rusting away in the back lot of the 20th Century Fox studios..."



    It was the six-foot long model of the ship that's actually seen sinking in the movie that was made out of plywood.

    Charlton Heston now calls PLANET his best picture?!!!!   I don't believe it.  You know now he's gone senile, or is just so full of shit he don't know shit from shinola anymore.  Probably he's getting more checks from PLANET now than any percentages from any of his other movies -- the big phoney!  You know he still thinks BEH-HUR is the best.

    No, there was only one full-size prop ship.  It was also borrowed from Fox by Warner Brothers for the movie "The Illustrated Man" with the now late Rod Stieger.  The reason the ship looks smaller in ESCAPE and the first episode of the TV Show is that it got its ass cut off.  It's shorter.
