The first ten had glued spines, which are very difficult to open wide
safely.Issue 11 on were stapled.One odd item is that the US version
of #25 has a different opening splash page on page 3 which is
possibly the very first published art by Marshall Rogers of Batman
fame, who very sadly died far too young recently.It's not in the UK
issue (#115).John, Scrolls.

Wow. I can't believe that made the list. Given all the really,
really bad sequels out theres, how could any of the POTA movies come
close? There are hundreds of sequels worse than that Battle--which I
happen to think is a great film.

I agree. Sometimes those list articles are just

What's interesting is they stuck almost exclusively to major films series. The real worst sequels are those that are part of really bad series like Vice Squad 17 and Return of the Living Dead 8. What the list should be called is the 25 worst sequels to good films.

This is from the first page of their list:

looked at how steep a sequel's drop-off in quality was from the

You're probably thinking, "Yeah, but some sequels are so bad they're
good!" Those aren't on this list. These movies are so absolutely bad
their badness can be measured only in Kelvin degrees. Finally, we
factored in a certain intangible stankitude a sort of je ne sais crap
that makes a film so god-awful you wish there were a cinematic Hague
where it could be tried. Until such a court is convened, however, all
we can do is offer our testimony against these 25 offenders. We hope

She-who-must-be-obeyed views my affection for APES as some kind of

That said, although Mrs B doesn't 'get it' she's never once

Of course, THEY are a bunch of ignorants who deserve nothing. Their
magazine is pathetic and deserves the trash-can. That's for sure.

'BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES' is a very compelling movie which
manages to "reprise" the FEELING and the VIBE of the first two
movies. While the excellent ESCAPE and the superb CONQUEST were
divergences (not only "fictional", but even "cinematic"), BATTLE
steams towards the strict and usual POTA visuals, adding new elements
in the mix (that Mad Max-esque factor, you know, long time before the
Mad Max series). The cinematography is great, and there's
that "twisted" and menacing groove that the early two POTA movies and
the TV series retained.

BATTLE is a marvellous action movie with some poetic touches, and
features a great screenplay and superb performances from everyone
involved.

ESCAPE is my least favourite entry out of the saga, still I consider
it as being an absolute masterpiece from every standpoint (After
rewatching the movie again last night, I must say THIS about the make-
up: it's always that same GENIUS make-up. In some scenes it is just
INCREDIBLE!
It was just my previous DVD copy which sucked. Worst video transfer
ever, and that affected the cinematography. I just watched another
DVD rendition last night, and it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!).

LOL -- True, it's not exactly big-budget...but that's never been a
criteria for my enjoyment of a film. Clerks practically WAS shot at
a local Circle K, and that movie is great. On the other hand, nearly
every Roland Emerich film was filmed on a huge budget, and nearly all
of them are embarrassingly bad. For me, the great thing about Battle
isn't how big the scope is, so much as that, like Conquest, it
captures the essence of the simian society we see in the future-era
films. Caesar, Aldo, Mandemus and Virgil are all among my favorite
characters from the series. Granted, Kolp's a little over the top,
and the guy who plays Mendez the First sometimes seems like he's
sleeping while reading his lines, but I consider Battle one of the
better sequels.

Exactly, that's what made no sense to me. Jason Takes
Manhattan? Jason X? Halloween 4, 5, 6 and 8? Any of the Amityville
Horror sequels? You could make a "worst 200 films" list with just
bad horror sequels, and Battle wouldn't be anywhere near the list.

A friend of mine feels the same way. I'll never agree, as I think
the revolution makes for an amazing film, but I do understand some of
his reasons -- the absurdly simple training they go through ("Do!")
that somehow conveys multiple meanings, for instance. Still, I love
both films.

JUST FOR A MOMENT, drop the circular loop scenario you believe in.
ONE MOMENT! In order to help me develop my scenario in a better way...


In your opinion,

In the alternative timeline scenario, what's the "proper" integration
of the TV SERIES? Because I feel there's a major fault here.

I mean, we know for sure that the TV series might belong to APELINE
ONE. My doubt is the fact that VIRDON & BURKE departed from Earth
AFTER Taylor/Brent displacement in time, and they arrived on the
Planet of the Apes BEFORE Taylor/Brent. It's a terrible and dangerous
discrepancy.
I mean, maybe it's safe to assume that Virdon and Burke - and their
predecessors (those who departed from Earth in 1970 A.D. and arrived
on POTA in 3075 A.D. or so) - SLIGHTLY affected the history. They
killed people, moved some situations, interacted with the surrounding
world. Thus basically, did Taylor and Brent arrive on a Planet of the
Apes whose history had been ALREADY re-arranged by Virdon and Burke
and their predecessors somehow?

I can't believe that Virdon and Burke, or they predecessors, created
a third or a fourth Apeline or God-knows-what!

And how could this be correctly "integrated" into the double-crossed
timelines scenario? Maybe had
Taylor/Brent/Virdon&Burke/predecessors's timeline
ALREADY "accomodated" the changes in its history with no major
consequences - without originating diverged universes of some sort -
wherever Cornelius and Zira's arrival so EARLY in the timeline
changed EVERYTHING and created a brand-new diverged universe: APELINE
TWO

What do you think about it?

      Because the TV series takes place on the West Coast and about 1,000 years from any of the films it really doesn't interfer with the Film series continuity. So it can be included in the film's timeline or not. It really makes no difference.

      Virdon & Burke were taking a much shorter trip than Taylor. They only went to alfa centauri, which is very close to Earth. Taylor (and later Brent) were travelling to a much farther star. It makes sense that a round trip would take much less time for Virdon & Burke than for Taylor. So even though they left later, they could return sooner.

      I wouldn't say re-arranged. Virdon and Burke's adventures were merely part of the history of the world that Taylor discovered.

      Ever notice that the Apes films go from worst to best in alphabetical order. Just take a look when they are listed alphabetically:

      BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

      BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES

      CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

      ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES

      PLANET OF THE APES

      Sort of like the STAR TREK even numbered films legend.

      That's your opinion, Jimmy.

      Mine is:

      1- ESCAPE (still, a masterpiece)
      2- CONQUEST
      3- BATTLE
      4- BENEATH
      5- PLANET

      I have to agree with you on this point Rich. Personally, I always try to see some things for what they were originally intended to be- even if the end result is out of all proportion to the intent. Case in point: The Starlost series back from the 70's. A great idea, based on what Science Fiction is at it's best (social allegory), and a team of writers that included the best and brightest of the day. What it turned into was a low budget, chroma-key heavy series that made shows like Dr. Who and The Tomorrow People look like they had huge budgets. But in all three cases, each series still managed to tell (mostly) interesting stories which allowed you to ignore the special effects (or lack thereof). Granted, Dr. Who has a much bigger following, but both Starlost and Tomorrow People still have cult followings. In the case of The Starlost- a 30 year old series that's barely remembered by most- that fact that it did make an impression on some viewers says something.
       
      Of the five, BATTLE is my third favorite (BENEATH is the first, followed by the original). There really are a lot of good characters there, and any films that has characters exploring ruins is usually OK in my book. As far as Kolp goes, I always thought that the character was written that way to accentuate the madness that was slowly setting in. The guy who played him (Severn Darden) was an old Second City veteran and actually quite an eccentric (and creative individual from what I've read. I'm sure he put his own twists in there as well.

      isn't how big the scope is, so much as that, like Conquest, it
      captures the essence of the simian society we see in the future-era
      films. Caesar, Aldo, Mandemus and Virgil are all among my favorite
      characters from the series. Granted, Kolp's a little over the top,
      and the guy who plays Mendez the First sometimes seems like he's
      sleeping while reading his lines, but I consider Battle one of the
      better sequels. <<<.html

      Actually I was refering to the order the films are put in by most film reviewers (http://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/ddb5490109a79f598625623d0015f1e4/e3983fc23d514ab688256a9a001cc3e3?OpenDocument) with Planet first, Escape second and so on.

      My personal order of favorites is:

      1. Planet
      2. Conquest
      3. Beneath
      4. Battle
      5. Escape

      Whats the story behind this fan made " Planet Of The Men"?
       
       
      Is this just a trailer to a finished movie? Or does the person who made it plan to finish it? The make up on the apes is cool, remind me of the 70's look.
       
      Also are there more fan made ape movies out there? With the POTA being so popular world wide you would think more have to be out there somewhere.
       
      heck if a fan could make that , then the Sci Fi channel or HBO can make a cool POTA short film, or even series.

      Unfortunately, Mr. Darden has passed away I believe.
      He was also oustanding in 'Back to School' with the
      line "I'm trying to teach these here apes how to learn
      to read and write." A nice little nod from the
      writers.

      I remember stumbling across his obit in a newspaper somewhere and being frustrated that I couldn't find out more about him. Back in the ancient times of 1995 before the internet was so commonplace.
       
       
      I had completely missed that bit from 'Back To School'. I saw it in the theaters but must not have made the connection at the time. Apparently there's a special edition DVD coming out August 14th. Be interesting to see what kind of extras are included.

      I've never for one minute believed that story.

      The way he describes the scene, it was exactly the same as the scene
      where Galen and Virdon, except of course in the episode, it was a
      gorilla whose cart was hijacked.

      The versions from any European DVDs are the same as the US versions.
      There is NO difference between the episodes in terms of content.

      I, personally, do think that something odd happened with that whole
      scene. The script had Virdon and Galen getting help from a human cart
      driver, who drives them right into the City, with them hidden
      underneath.I can understand why that was altered, as it gave Roddy
      the chance to ham it up as 'Granny Galen'.Bill's scene was meant to
      be a chimp farmer being questioned by a gorilla about the theft of
      his cart.The gorilla was played by Lee Delano and there are behind
      the scenes pics of Lee that don't fit the episode as seen--there's
      one of him on his autograph site that suits Bill's scene--a farmyard
      type setting.The transmitted scene is awful and looks like a last
      minute lash up--a gorilla farmer(are there ANY gorilla farmers
      anywhere else in the series?---they're all chimps) still wearing his
      purple soldier pants is caught in a monumentally infantile trap. It
      is just about possible that footage with Bill's character could exist-
      --different versions of Doctor Who went around the world.I do believe
      Bill.The best scene cut from The Interrogation is a flashback of
      Burke getting military coaching in how to resist questioning--it
      would have really made the title of the epoisode relevant, comparing
      how Apes and Humans do these things.It would also have been very
      relevant today. John, Scrolls.

      I'm curious, which version of the script is that in? A lot of the
      scripts went thru many drafts before being finalized. I'm not saying
      the scene wasn't scripted, I am wondering though how it was all
      written in the script? Are you saying the script had Galen and Virdon
      steal the chimp's cart, and then they talked some human cart driver
      into driving the stolen cart into the city? After all that happened,
      then the chimp was questioned?

      As for the gorilla farmer, who's to say there aren't more? After all,
      they were originally intended to be not only the police and soldiers,
      but the "heavy laborers" too. As far as the purple pants, no big deal
      there either. Purple is the gorilla's primary color, just as green is
      the chimp's. Saying that a gorilla farmer shouldn't be wearing purple
      pants is like saying that Polar shouldn't be wearing his green pants.

      The script is on Hunter's site, I believe.In the script, our intrepid
      duo never steal a cart at all, they enlist the help of a human cart
      driver who enjoys his 15 minutes of rebellion. As for gorilla
      farmers, personally I don't think they existed , although Kava in The
      Cure may have had to consider this as a career choice in the end.The
      scene, as filmed, is poor, in my humble opinion and Bill Blake has
      spoken in the past about talking with make-up people on set about his
      appliance and his scene with Delano.I think it should have been Bill,
      as a farmer chimp, on that cart, with a follow up scene of Delano
      questioning Bill about the theft.What happened to the poor gorilla
      they robbed--did he just die/starve to death? The past time
      interrogation scene might have been done too, given the flashback
      they actually used in the episode.It's my favourite episode, but it
      could have been even better--I'd have loved Effinger to novelise it.

      Those results are interesting.Over two thirds had their first
      exposure with Heston's movie--we must have a lot of older folk in
      here? I'm 40, so I was too young to see the original run, and the
      movies weren't shown on tv in the UK until, I think, 1977, so the tv
      series and accompanying comics were a massive introduction for me in
      the UK---I only even learned of the original movies later, through
      the comics.I wonder are we an 'older'fanbase than other franchises--I
      doubt if Burton's movie brought in much new blood.John, Scrolls.

      The person selling those items has got to be Mr. Hoknes himself under
      one of his eBay seller names. If he wasn't his own hocking his own
      wares, then he wouldn't have bombarded the various egroups with the
      link to the auction. It's not like there's anything rare or anything in
      the lot, and nobody will need that many copies of Battle.

      I simply put some items up for auction and posted this on only 2 of the POTA yahoogroups just to let you know for those who "might" be interested.
      I am not sure why I am criticized for doing this ?

      As far as older based age group..well i 'am 43,and am
      also part of the Star Trek Group on here,I agree Tim
      Burton 's effort will not get as much attention or
      long term support as the originals did..and yes I have
      seen the TB version..although on the whole I have
      never been a big fan of remakes..if a film is a
      ''classic'' then show that not some updated rehash
      ,which are often poorer in quality,and the impact they
      have..it is for this reason that I never went to see
      the new version of Black Christmas..okay ocassionally
      a remake does work..the new War Of The Worlds being

      Off the top of my head the only remakes I've really enjoyed were King Kong and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Neither were as good as the originals but were at least fun to watch.

      I thought the re-make of Cape Fear, with DeNiro, worked pretty well.
      Other than that, everything from Apes to the Italian Job has sucked
      more than a cosmically powered vacuum cleaner called Monica.And I
      cleaned that one up before posting! John, Scrolls.

      As far as remakes go, there are very few I've ever thought were worth
      making: The Fly, The Thing, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
      come to mind. I didn't mind the Apes remake, but it was a pale
      version of the original.

        These were great updates on the originals. (And there are plans
        underway to remake both of these remakes. 8-( )

        > and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
        > come to mind.

        I thought it was OK, but I still much prefer "Willy Wonka and the
        Chocolate Factory."

        > I didn't mind the Apes remake,

        I did.

        KING KONG was a great homage to the '33 version and had wonderful
        special effects, but didn't really improve on the '33 version,
        story-wise, IMO.

        There are exceptions ("Heaven Can Wait"), but by and large, remakes do
        nothing for me.

        It seems like the only time you post is when you're offering things for
        sale. Granted, you did participate in the recent foreign comics thread,
        but for the most part, most posts by you concern you and the items
        you're selling.

        Since you are a fairly new member, you are unaware of the years of contributions that Terry has made to this group and POTA fandom in general. These include (but not limited to) running the International POTA fan club and publishing the fanzine "Ape Chronicles" for many years.

        James, didn't you tell a member within the last year or so that he
        was not allowed to post a listing of his on ebay, and referred him to
        a lawgiver lesson? Personally, I like the ebay referrals, but there
        is a hypocracy of what one member can post vs. another....

        The "member" in question had joined the group that day and their first post out of the box was promoting their ebay auction. This "member" spammed several other Apes groups as well.

        We have rules against spammer to protect the group. Otherwise we would be flooded with posts not only POTA auctions, but about dating service, penis enlargement, etc.

        Terry has been a member here for many, many years. He has done more for POTA fandon than most of us combined. Terry has earned our trust. So forgive us if we cut him a little slack. We would do the same for you since you are a member in good standing or any other regular contributing member.

        As usual I am short on time and dont always get to read all the posts
        If I knew that nobody wanted any ebay posts on here than I wouldnt have bothered doing it
        But I just had a last second thought of letting some POTA fans know about some stuff I had leftover to sell - this isnt a regular occurance
         
        On another note I still would like to get APE CHRONICLES #40 happening
        The big thing I note is there is a small amount of POTA fans (propably less than 10 people combined) who actually put together POTA related items for the groups or fanzines or websites etc.   We do it cause we love it - surely none of us are doing it for the money LOL
         
        But due to this I always am short on time to focus on POTA cause I have so many things in my life happening - when the time is right I will just get back at it and it will be fun again!

        I can only speak from my personal standpoint, but Terry, for me, is
        an important Apes person. It was his web site and his Ape Chronicles
        that really made me feel there were other Apes fans out there and his
        effort made me think about getting a UK Fanzine going. There is a
        good argument that if a fan is selling Apes stuff then it is good to
        tip us off here. Anyway, Terry, looking forward to issue #40! John,
        Scrolls.

          We have no objection to trusted members, like Terry, informing us of their ebay auctions. We do have a problem with strangers who join the group and immediately start posting about their auctions.

            Yeah, Bill Blake and Lee Delano filmed a scene for "The Interrogation". John Roche sent me a cut scene from the ep, a sauna scene between Urko and Zauis, kinda like a poor man's "Beneath". Since that was cut, maybe this was a replacement. I guess it got cut for time. The astros abandon the cart at Bill's farm and Lee questions him about it. It was filmed.  Jeff

          The script is on Hunter's site, I believe.In the script, our intrepid
          duo never steal a cart at all, they enlist the help of a human cart
          driver who enjoys his 15 minutes of rebellion. As for gorilla
          farmers, personally I don't think they existed , although Kava in The
          Cure may have had to consider this as a career choice in the end.The
          scene, as filmed, is poor, in my humble opinion and Bill Blake has
          spoken in the past about talking with make-up people on set about his
          appliance and his scene with Delano.I think it should have been Bill,
          as a farmer chimp, on that cart, with a follow up scene of Delano
          questioning Bill about the theft.What happened to the poor gorilla
          they robbed--did he just die/starve to death? The past time
          interrogation scene might have been done too, given the flashback
          they actually used in the episode.It's my favourite episode, but it
          could have been even better--I'd have loved Effinger to novelise it.

          Wow--I never knew Stan Winston worked on the Apes show. Makes me even
          sadder that his amazing test make-ups for the Burton movie didn't get
          to be used, as they were beautiful.If a scene was filmes, but cut,
          maybe it still exists somewhere? I'd love to see the script for that
          scene--there was a LOT of good stuff cut out of The Interrogation,
          which is annoying as the bits in Urko's office could easily have been
          cut instead.Bill getting a residuals cheque does suggest it was shown
          somewhere--unless the industry rules at the time gave him residuals
          even if not transmitted? It would be great to have Bill re-create
          that scene someday. John, Scrolls.
