Just because someone doesn't respond to something right away doesn't they made something up. They could just be remembering incorrectly. Let's face it, the films came out over 35 years ago. Memories can become a bit muddled in that span of time.

I saw that...during the "Ape-A-Rama" that was shown at the old Gage 4 Theaters here in Topeka...that would have been early July 1973.  At that time all five films were shown, back to back.   Zach    -------Original Message-------   From: Haristas@...

Someone here within the last year or so posted a link to some little article about when PLANET first came out.  In it it mentioned the movie having an intermission during its initial runs.  Sorry, but I don't recall what or where this article was, but I saw PLANET just a few days after it opened "wide" on April 3, 1968.  There was an intermission after the escape scene that ends with "Take your stinking paws...etc."  I saw the movie on April 7, 1968, a Sunday afternoon, at a small neighborhood theatre (775 seats) in Wantagh, New York.  Now, two months later I saw PLANET again, on a Saturday night, at another small neighborhood theatre, in Levittown, New York.  The intermission was gone by then, BUT that second showing is here I recall seeing a small "The End" on the upper right of the screen during the last shot.  Anyway, it's all lost to time now.  Just memories.

*** I'm not saying it did or didn't happen, but where was it confirmed that PLANET had an intermission during the original release?

 

Also, was this intermission in all theaters, or was it just in major cities? And was the intermission included throughout the entire original 1968 run, or was it just during the very beginning of the release and dropped after a few weeks? ***

*** As far as memories becoming muddled, I agree with that. However, the way that post was written, the author of that post didn't seem to be saying "I think I seen this, but I'm not sure." To me he was saying that he definitely "did" see it. And the way some people just go on that something "was" though there's nothing to back it up proves to me that they either made it up entirely or they think they seen something, were asked to prove it, and had nothing to back it up. However, they figure it's better to stick with their story to try saving face rather than admitting they may have been mistaken.

 

Also, sometimes people recall a part made up by an author for one of the films novels and then got it crossed with their memory and they think they seen it rather than read it.My own brother had that happen, but it involved the POWER records adaption of PLANET. PLANET was on TV once and we were commenting on how much was cut out of it. He said "Yeah, they even cut that part out of the hunt where Taylor starts beating on the ground hunter with his beating stick.". Of course that never happened in the film, but it was in the book and record adaption and he had a false memory of it being in the film as well as the adaption. I think that happened with certain things people think they seen but they actually never existed on film or even in a script. ***

How long would a bombed out city remain radioactive? In Planet and
Beneatgh, neither Taylor nor Brent seem worried about radioactivity and
in the tv series humans seem to live in cities with no visible ill
effects. OPn the other paw, Caesar and crew are very aware of the
dangers in Battle, and Reena in chapter 4 of Marvel's Future History
Chronicles rapidly suffers radiation poisoning in an irradiated ship.
John, Scrolls.

Difficult to answer.

Nitpicking, pretty much everything we can see and touch is
'radioactive' but of course I understand you mean dangerously so.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are now both habitable and thriving communities
and have been for many years. Of course they have had the benefit of
dedicated 'cleanup crews'.

A bombed city left to 'heal' naturally has, I'm pleased to say, no
precedent but most lethal fall out and radiation from a conventional
nuclear weapon actually dissipates relatively quickly (about three to
five weeks until it's relatively safe to go outside).

Some radioactive isotopes will remain for (current estimates) around a
hundred years. Not enough to kill you outright but the type that will
increase the chance of developing cancers.

So I would say it's treatment in the movies and TV show was pretty
accurate. Taylor and Brent would have been safe after 2000 years,
Virgil was wise not to spend too long in the city in 'Battle' and the
TV cities ought to have been safe from that particular danger after
1000 years.

All assuming conventional nuclear weapons were used.

Someone post something cheerful!!!!

Nitpicking even more (!), the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were
deliberately detonated high above ground, to allow dispersal of
radioactive material into the upper air, and reduce radioactive
pollution.The Russians and US nowadays would probably not be so kind
to each other. As far as I know, whilst a bit more radiocative than
normal, both Japanese cities were 'safe' in terms of radiation risk
shortly after the attacks.Maybe a better comparison for Apes would be
Chernobyl? John.

Studying Greg's scans of this book, I'm struck with just how lucky Apes
was in its cast of novelists.Through force of circumstance, even though
unwilling in some cases, the novels had a stellar cast of writers and,
with Jakes and Effinger in particular, this was sheer luck, as neither
would ordinarily have taken the gig.Neither may have been thrilled
doing it, but both were too good and to professional to do anything
other than a brilliant job.Fascinating.John, Scrolls.

Does anyone remember the first item of APE related memorabilia they
ever bought?

For me I think it might have been issue 1 of the UK Marvel comic. I'd
known about APES for years before that but can't recall any associated
merchandise. I clearly remember the movie trading cards but they
belonged to my elder brother.

The first POTA merchandise that I ever bought was the trading cards. I still have 3 of the original cards from that set.

I think you may be right, John. Although the number of Chernobyl
deaths was listed at some 400, and many thousands more can be linked
to radiation from the accident, Russia has not allowed the additional
deaths to be listed as Chernobyl related. The internet has several
videos floating around presumably documenting the mutations caused by
the fallout. You might actually make some comparisons between those
of Chernobyl and those of the mutants in Beneath, etc. Sad. But
you're probably right.

Good Luck James... You passed the trouble a while back. 661 is the
real Number of the beast. I learnt this recently from a Smart arse
quiz show in the UK which often corrects misconceptions. ( not to be
confused with Britney Spears who is a different kind of mis-conception)
But 666 is a great number of members.

I can remember reading at the time that Chernobyl would cause at
leaset 100,000 cancer deaths in Western Europe, but that we'd never
be able to prove it.Sweden tried to sue Russia over damage to
livestock but Russia successfully argued that you couldn't prove it
was actually THEIR cloud of radiocative dust--it could have been
anybody's! I'm sort of wondering if maybe the tv series allows for
the possibility that it WASN'T a nuclear war that toppled mankind?

*** As far as Taylor goes, in PLANET, he doesn't even know he's back on Earth until the final moment, so radioactivity really doesn't come into play in there at all, as he has no contact with the nuked out NYC. And, in BENEATH, Taylor also unaware of the destroyed NYC we see in the film until he is taken captive by the mutants. At that point, once he's in their hands, there'd be little he could have done about it anyway, as he had no way to escape. The original comic adaption and the novel both have him actually seeing the city before he tries an attempt to get to it, and he also says something like "i wonder if anyone lives there,besides radioactive worms." So taking the adaption into consideration, Taylor does at least mention it. But in either film, they never show him seeing the city, so I don't think he even bothered with thinking about it.

 

Brent on the other hand stumbles across the city via the subway when he ducked into hiding to avoid the gorilla troopers. At that point, I think he must have thought it'd be better to stay down there and keep travelling on so he and Nova weren't captured by the apes. But you're right in wondering why he didn't consider it, unless he thought "well, it's been 20 centuries, it probably died off by now."

 

In the tv series humans seem to live in cities with no visible ill effects.

 

*** I think that they might have been "radioactive" at one point, but the TV series didn't have the budget for elaborate nuked out city sets, so they just went with what was available to resemble a bombed out city.

 

On the other board, one member had a theory that the cities in the TV series might not have been nuked out, but rather the people were killed off by germ warfare. I still think, as with the films, the TV series cities were supposed to have been nuked out, but still, what he said does sort of make sense, though I still argue it was all budgetary. ***

 

On the other paw, Caesar and crew are very aware of the dangers in Battle

 

*** My guess with that is because BATTLE isn't set too far after the nuclear war, so Caesar, taking cautionary advice from MacDonald (who knew the city would still be radioactive) got Virgil to go along, as they figured he would be able to detect how severe it still was. ***

The 1968 Topps cards for PLANET were the first things for me.  I think they were out as early as April or early May 1968.  I remember that by the time I went to see PLANET for a second time in late June 1968, I went with either an entire set of 44 or nearly that in the pocket of my shorts.  The next thing I recall getting was the LP, which didn't come out until late summer 1968.  Sometime after that I bought the paperback Signet novel, but I didn't actually read the entire book until I was around 12 years old.

Does anyone remember the first item of APE related memorabilia they
ever bought?

For me I think it might have been issue 1 of the UK Marvel comic. I'd
known about APES for years before that but can't recall any associated
merchandise. I clearly remember the movie trading cards but they
belonged to my elder brother.

For me it was either a puzzle with Caesar Lisa and Cornelius... or a coloring book, but I can't remember which one came first.  I just remember I begged my mom to get it for me and she did.

I found the Beneath LP soundtrack in the 99 cent record bin at John's Bargain Stores (anyone remember them?). Little chunk missing from the edge of the cover but I think it still plays.

The General Ursus model, I assembled it unpainted, and used the box to
store my tv series cards and the novel. I still have the it, thru the

only piece that is missing is the barrel of the rifle.

Then after that I went to the Cleveland Auto Show and got the two autographs from
"Zira" and "Cornelius" (Bill Blake and Paula Crist). And I still have the two photos (33 years later)

I don't think this is Heston in the shot, it could be his lighting
double - either way, it could be a shot from a lighting test, or even a
mic check run-through for Maurice Evens.

You're right though about the price - a bit over the top. As is the
same sellers posting of the POTA TV SERIES shot of Galen.

For it my first POTA piece were "hand-me-downs" from my brother who
gave me his POTA LP Soundtrack, and his 67' Topps Card Set - which I
still have to this day in mint condition.

The first piece I purchased would be an 11x14 Lobby Set for BENEATH
from movie memorabilia store.

In Planet, just before the hunt, Taylor tells Landon that if the savage
humans are the best there is, in 6 months the astronauts will be
running the planet.Who does he think put up the scarecrows they
encountered minutes earlier? John, Scrolls.

Speaking of the scarecrows, did any else notice that they had fur from
organgutans and gorillas mixed together on the same scarecrows, giving
them a mixture of orange and black fur? I guess the apes wanted the
humans to be afraid of giant calico cats. LOL

Either he forgot about the scarecrows or he must have thought the humans put them up.

I think if he thought about it at all, he must have figured it was the
savage humans. At first blush I think these guys looked "aboriginal"
and not much less than uncivilized. (And, remember, Taylor's group
had guns!)

I'm new to the group. I would like to thank whomever is in charge for
allowing me to join. I've been a big POTA fan since I was a kid. I'm
glad a site like this was developed.

A big hello to everyone and thanks again.

Actually, when I finally read the entire novel cover to cover (had to wait a few years until I was old enough to get into it -- I may not of "officially" read it until I was fourteen), I thought it was superior to the film based on it.  I still do think the Boulle novel is much more sophisticated than the film.

HI

Does anyone know where I can get hold of the POTA animated series in
the UK? I can just about remember it being on the TV in the UK in the
seventies...I have seen it as part of the Bust head collection but I
already have all the movies and the TV series on DVD so I dont really
want to be spending all that money just to get hold of the animated
series.

Cheers

The tall round one, which I seemed to of covered with Wacky Packages. I recently rebought both trash cans which are now in my computer room. Ahhhhhhhhhhh... memories.

You can get the animated series on DVD very cheap from Amazon.com --
and I'm sure the UK Amazon.com will have them in the right format to
play in the UK. Hope this helps you out.

You should get yourself an "All-Region" DVD player so you can just order DVDs from the US (which is Region 1 and can be bought on Amazon.co.uk)

*** I'm pretty sure that is not supposed to be ape fur on the scarecrows. The dark hair is bear fur, and as far as the orange, I'm not sure although there are bears with an orangish color to them. I can't say for certain what the fur is supposed to be from, but my guess is that it's just the skins of animals that either were killed by The Hunt Club or they died a natural death. I would bet it is NOT supposed to be ape pelts. ***

Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

I'm wondering if there is any documentation that would indicate
whether the colors of the Apes' uniforms/clothing are meant to
symbolize anything. I don't really have ideas about that. Nothing
really seems to fit, yet most uniforms are colored in a certain way
for a reason -- sometimes symbolic, sometimes functional.

Also, I'm wondering what the specific color name for each of the
colors would be. It's not that I'm color blind. I'm just not very
artistic, and color words aren't a very big part of my vocabulary.
(Probably olive, grape, and pumpkin don't work for most of you?)

The Lawgiver has spoken! If that isn't documentation, I don't know
what is! ;)

You've answered both of my questions fair enough. The warmth and
light of the sun, the life and growth of the forest, and the strength
and nurture of the rocks and soil.

"Orange," "Green," and "Brown." That was pretty easy!

rather than for any implied 'meaning'.

I'm sure I remember a reference to 'Roman Purple' for the gorillas. If
no one beats me to it I'll pull the issue out tonight and see if it
has any useful info for you.

If you need some kind of industry reference to match colors try going
into your local printers, artist supplies or hardware store, they
ought to have books of colour swatches to match inks and paint to.

That was ADDAR, Scott, a company that was formed by ex-employees of
Aurora.

You can view most of the ADDAR range here:

I remember when they first appeared in the UK I bought all six in one

I like how the artwork for the punchball was based on the Addar
models. Very cool.

I believe my first PotA item was issue 8 of the Marvel magazine,
though it might have been some of the TV series trading cards or the
coloring book with the gorillas on the cover. In addition to those, I
only had some of the Mego figures, the fortress playset, 2 of the
Addar models, and a couple of the novelizations back in the day.

The tall trash can was something I never had, but always wanted. I
finally found one in great condition on eBay way back in '98.

I suppose that is probably what's behind it all. If I recall, popular
appliance colors were golden harvest and avocado. Plumb was popular
for furniture and curtains. My friend's Gremlin (car) was purple.
Yep. Those were the days. (Sure wish it was something more significant.)

Thanks so much Meg, Zach, and everyone else who gave me such a warm
welcome into the group. That means alot to me. As I said in my previous
post, I've been a fan of POTA since I was 10 years of age and I'll be
hitting 41 soon(May 3rd is my birthday). I don't know why but the
series has always fascinated me, just like Godzilla movies, Comic book
movies and Vampire movies-lol. I'm just crazy about 'em. I'll most
definitely check things out and will also do my part in providing
information to the group when I find out things about the series. All
of you are welcome to e-mail me if you'd like..my e-mail address is
blackaciddevil01@.... Maybe that way, you all can get to know me
a little better. Again, thank you all so much.
Respectfully, Tom

Probably the tree house or one of the coloring books. My folks had the novel from a 1963
book club. I have it now.

I read it in eighth grade (about 1974) for a book report. While it was very different from the film I still found it enjoyable. Maybe I should buy a "reading copy" and do it again to see if it stands up 30 years later.
