The silliest moment for me was watching the look on Dr. Milo
when Zira was going through the tests that Dr. Dixon was giving her,
especially when Zira responded to Dr. Branton about the banana.

For me it would be the scenes with the 'primitive' apes in
'Escape'.
The gorilla that kills Milo, and Heloise (Eloise?) from Armando's
circus.

There were more in 'Conquest' but that's at night and not quite so
in-your-face.

While there are other moments of silliness
sprinkled throughout the series, I'd have to say
that the first half of Escape contains numerous
scenes that could win it for me. Zira giving her
woman's lib speech, enjoying a bath, etc. All of
those scenes are totally out of place and at odds
with the tone of the other movies, with the
exception of the scene where Roddy and Bradford
Dillman attend the boxing match. That one scene is
perfect PotA.

Alan

It's not really a silly moment as much as a quirky moment for me -- I
always found Brent's reaction to Nova when he's changing clothes to
be weird...

Yeah, I heard all about this...I'm not saying Brent was gay, but the
scene does give a weird reaction...As far as the kissing Nova scene, I
always thought that the mutants were having Brent smother her, like the
drowning scene at the water fountain...

No.  They knew he wouldn't like it so they were torturing him.

I wonder does that kissing scene suggest that Brent was not homosexual?
The Mutants seem to lift images out of minds and warp them--the gorilla
army sees crucified soldiers and craps itself, Zaius is a tougher nut
to crack and the bleeding Lawgiver doesn't quite work.I think Brent
must have thought about kissing Nova, the dirty dog that he was, and
this image was selected to be warped into something evil.Had Cornelius
been on that trip he'd have been chased by a giant chocolate cake.John,

I'm not surprised Rory. However before you go slinging your (suck) arrows,
take a closer look at the movie. (director's cut). You just might like the
twist. In class we had a choice to watch "Blade Runner" or "Pleasantville"
Most of us picked "Blade Runner" over "Pleasantville". To me Pleasantville
was copycat to (as are the Walgreen commercials) "The Giver" which is by far
one of the best books ever written next to "1984". I take it you don't like
books like that ???

No one has mentioned the "protest' scene in BENEATH yet ("Peace and freedom! Freedom! Peace!") that scene still makes me cringe...

   Bruce

They were trying to add something "relevant" to the movie-'ripped from today's (1970's) headlines!' but it didn't work then and it still doesn't work now. A poorly written directed & acted scene in my opinion.

I think their mind reading skills are nonexistent.

If they could read minds they wouldn't have had

to use their sonic torture on Brent to question

him.  They would have just read his mind.

Great work. I love this type of thing.

I asked my wife what she thought was the silliest moment in the POTA films and she says "all
of it". Then I asked her to choose one scene. She says "when that orange one sees that giant
statue falling, he looks so gay." She's referring to Zaius in Beneath. I have her thoughts on
these films written down somewhere, you'd all laugh yourselves silly if you ever read them.
Maybe I will post them.

I agree that the Mutants don't mind read per se, but I do think they
react to or recognise emotional states somehow.The idea with the
Mutants is that they each have a speciality, be it torture or whatever,
with their different clothing colours signifying some special role or
ability.The Mutants can glean the emotional background noise, but not
the factual specifics.That's what I think, anyway.John, Scrolls.

Yeah, I think that's what they did with the 12 scouts,

and how they cam up with the images for the visual deterrent.

Any chance of seeing the picture? It looks like one of the Good Seeds
ladies, and the rest seem to be from The Trap. Maybe we could re-do
these cut-outs on the back of Scrolls or a separate sheet--I've still
got my Marvel cut out Apes on my shelf! John, Scrolls.

I'd love to see it, mainly because I've never seen it before. We're

I have to disagree. 

Eileen Dietz as Jillia was the cutest chimp.

Paula did some stunts, mostly as a human

I believe.  I also believe to get the cutest ever

you'd have to combine Jillia with Fauna, and

drink a bunch of that stuff Zaius keeps locked

in hi office - but she's still going to shed in bed

and her coif will be every which way the next

day - so in the morning when it wears off

she's not going to see quite as cute. 

It's happened to the best of us.

And the little things you thought

were so cute the night before,

like opposable toes, don't seem

nearly as cute in the light of day

especially with a king hell hangover.

Cute enough to make you sell the Buick.

Sorry, Jillia may have a nice personality, but her face has the colour
and texture of a rhino's arse.That girl has been out in the sun so long
she's been grilled.Wanda and her glasses are pretty sexy, and I've
always had a thing for Fauna (doesn't everybody?!) but, until you
raised the problems, I'd never, myself, thought through the
practicalities of this.Hair in the bed is fine--with my wife, I'm used
to it, as well as morning monkey breath and screeching like she's
hunting in the tree canopy.All these problems disappear, however, with
the alluring thought of those opposable toes.The possibilities are
wonderful to contemplate.Thankyou for sharing that thought with
me.John, Scrolls.

Kevin, I can't see the images--no doubt because I'm a technical
dickhead(shut up Ballard, who asked you?!).Is there a way to get
these into files--I seem to be able to manage that side of things? If
there's internal pages I'd definitely like to see those too.Thanks,
John, Scrolls.

Yeah, glasses girls can be sexy, but . . .

Wow! It's just wonderful to see that brochure! Thanks for sharing --
there are images in there I's certainly never seen before.Didn't Tim
Burton attend one of these? I'm certain I read that somewhere.If he
did, he should have taken notes on how you do it right.John, Scrolls.

Thanks, Mark--those images are a lot clearer.Brace yourself--I'm going
into super nerd drive here.The two astronaut images are behind the
scenes pics from The Gladiators.I'm not sure about Galen--it might be
his double in the same shot or possibly Roddy waiting at the hole in
The Trap.Urko is a behind the scenes pic from The Trap( the same set of
shots that were used for the UK poster mag).The gorilla is obviously
from The Trap but, without seeing a bigger image of the female chimp,
I'm guessing it's Zantes but her hair looks too big! Is there any
chance of bigger images--does anybody own this? It would be pretty cool
to re-do these little standees--I'd love them on my desk.Also, is the
box blurb the only link between the TV Series and the Doomsday Bomb?! I
really need to get a life.John, Scrolls.

It appears to be only half of the box for the playset. I'll try to find the full photo. Maybe it
shows the bomb cave and underground ruins.

Video: Black market threatens baby chimps
http://www.yahoo.com/s/332908

I can't open this because I have a hate/hate relationship with Yahoo!
Videos. Thought someone might find it interesting... if you can open
it...

I'd love to see an article if anyone finds one on this. Thanks.

Helen

Nice one, James. http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/

Here you go Helen, the info in the video was taken from this site:

Found this blurb:

This set came out in 1974 (and today sells for over four hundred dollars...), and is an
interesting blend of the TV series and movies. For instance, there's a "Cave of the Doomsday
Bomb," which is straight out of Beneath the Planet of the Apes. There's also a view, from Zira
and Cornelius's house, of the half-buried Statue of Liberty jutting out of the sand (from the
original Planet of the Apes.) But the astronaut cardboard figures are clearly Alan Virdon (Ron
Harper) and Peter Burke (James Naughton), from the short-lived TV show. The Dr. Zaius
featured in this set is also from the TV series, not the Maurice Evans' interpretation from the
early films. The Apes play set came with a space capsule, Ape Headquarters, a jail (with a
gate that opens...) and the underground ruins of a San Francisco Tram Station, featured in
one of the early episodes of the TV series, "The Trap."

Thanks for the link, Mark. I think it is the same video feed --
which I can't open, but it's an interesting site. Is most of this
smuggling for the bushmeat trade? Or do "the buyers in the Middle
East" take them for pets? Show? Entertainment? Any ideas? Just
curious. Thanks.

Is the original POTA set still standing? If so, where is it?

No, Michael, it's not...Check our "POTA Locations" link to see
comparative shots...

Sadly, no.  Built in April-May 1967, you can see in BENEATH, which was shot two years later in 1969, that a little of the Ape City set is gone, then by the TV Show episode "The Gladiators," shot in June of 1974, only the amphitheater section was left.  I've read that it was finally bulldozed in the late seventies.

The last time the APES set was used I believe was in the Logan's Run TV series in the pilot. The "stadium" section was filmed for the Logan pilot .
