Hello POTA Members,

This is one of my favorite movies (excluding the 2001 re-make, however).

Remakes are just unnecessary, in my opinion.

Does anyone know where I might find a replica of the Wise Ape (not
sure of the name) statue from the first film? I think this statue was
in the simian worship house (when Taylor was hiding, and the young ape
saw him)?

eBay was my first thought, but I wanted to ask the "experts" first.

:)

Thanks!

That is a great statue Angel. Unfortunately, it is a bit out of my price range. :-( However, if I win the lottery this week...

Have you seen the Medicom figures. They did many of the film and TV series characters although there are a few I would like to have seen added.

First, welcome to the group! Please feel free to make use of all the groups resources.

To answer your question, the statue is of the Lawgiver and there are two notable replicas available. One is the Medicom figure which stands at about 7 1/2 inches:

You can get this on Ebay for about $20: http://cgi.ebay.com/Medicom-Planet-of-the-Apes-Greatest-Ape-Figure-POTA_W0QQitemZ190243357126QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

There is also the Sideshow Lawgiver which is about 18 inchs:

This one is harder to find. It was originally sold for $125 but now it can cost anywhere from $200 to $300 depending on where you find it.

If you are a fan of the Lawgiver you should check out one of the group's features, 'Lessons from the Lawigiver': http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/LFTL.htm

Leon Shamroy was considered one of the best cinematographers of his day. Planet has a very distinctive look thanks to him.

As far as direction I am reminded of a comment Jerry Goldsmith makes on the Planet DVD. He noted that Planet has moments of silence and very subtle music then commented when he tried to do a scene with subtle music in a recent film the Director told him, "I don't do subtle".

I tend to agree with Rory. If it didn't make the final cut it didn't happen. It is not canon.

And while I would love to see those deleted scenes on some future release, I would not want them restored to the film itself. You don't tamper with a masterpiece.

Robert Rodriguez who directed the Spy Kids films commented this week that no matter how poorly Montalban was feeling off camera, he always gave 100% once the cameras were rolling. Rodriguez also said that when he was writing Spy Kids 3 he went out of his way to give Montalban a CGI body so he would have one last chance to play the hero.

I would tend to agree with Rich about BSG. The new version is far superior to the original. The original is a cartoon in comparison.

But one thing about the new versions of BSG, BW & KR, for the most part they've kept the original concepts and most of the original characters but updated them for a contemporary audience. One of the problems with POTA 2001 is that they threw everything out but the title as kept nothing else.

I was thinking about what a direct remake of Conquest might look like. I can't decide who to cast as Caesar but for the human roles I would cast Kevin Spacey as Breck, Jimmy Smits as Armando and Adrian Lester as MacDonald.

Colorization is different. It does not change content. It is like the upgrade of Escape's soundtrack to stereo from the original mono. It is an enhancement that does not tamper with content of the film.

And while true many DVDs today feature a second version of a film, that is usually a Director's Cut.

Now if Franklin Schaffner were still alive and wanted to do a Director's Cut of Planet that would be great. But I wouldn't want to see some studio exec just shoving in whatever deleted footage he or she could find in order to make a buck.

True, but one good thing about the 2001 remake is that it revived interest in the original films and we got a lot of new merchandise as a result: the new sideshow figures, new trading cards from Rittenhouse and a new comics series, Revolution, which many think is the finest POTA comic ever done.

There are a couple of options

1. Medi Com Toys Ultra Detail Figures ( The Greatest Ape )

Boxed you should be able to pick on up from e-bay for about £20.00 plus postage which can vary the postage will be a lot more if from states

2. Sideshow , these are very expensive if lucky anything from £80.00 - £200.00 plus postage

3. Sideshow , Same has above but bleeding ( very rare and very expensive )

After POTA, Serling only wrote one other motion picture screenplay (the bulk of his working being exclusively for TV). That screenplay was for the 1972 movie "The Man" in which James Earl Jones plays the first African-American President of the U.S. So Rod was 37 years ahead of his time.

BTW Jones' opponent in the election was played by William Windom who played the President of the U.S. a year earlier in Escape.

Have you ever had problems getting horses for your model gorilla's .
Well first place for 1/6 scale is normally action man but there is also
Johnny West Horse Thunderbolt ( marx Brothers )
Unfortunatly not yet found a alternative 1/8 scale , because action
stallion starting to get quite expensive.
Maybe another member has found another alternative for this scale.

I have said it and will say it again that they are very good items , but you would think they would price them to sell, at the price they are asking for them , if i bought three to four of there models that's what i could pay for a screen used costume from any of the films maybe if you can find them.

I know which i would prefer!!!!!

Although sideshow can be expensive depending on where you get them from, especially the prices most of the states charge for postage on top on item.

Here is little fact for you if your not all informed already, if you buy anything from the states ( which i did recently E-Bay) and the value is over £36.00 then you will have to pay V.A.T and approx £8.00 handling fee.

Three times in the last month i have been stung at this end with the extra costs, i have informed the peaple in the states and hopefully they will put this info on there listings.

Yes that would be very expensive a fully working in box P.O.T.A Action Stallion sold this week , it went for £97.00 not including postage?????

The picture looks great was it make using the mego Urko with costume change?

I have also been informed that there is a horse 1/8" scale if you look up Action Jackson which is a mego toy , however i have not seen one for sale yet, so dont know how much?
