No it was in NYC down the block from Radio City Music Hall. It was a nice little theater. I remember going there a few times in the '80s.

But the Buddhist statues were made of solid rock. The statue of Liberty is far more fragile. It's just a thin layer of copper over a metal frame. You wouldn't need more Gorillas to blow it up, just a lot more explosives.

To blow up a 150 foot statute would leave thousands of pieces of all size, the gorillas would have taken home souvenir chunks, etc. and way too many witnesses. Remember the Taliban and the difficulty they had in years of trying to destroy those old Buddhist statutes carved into the rock, even with modern weapons.

interesting read.....

Several things I'd never read before......
such as....


"When Brent and Nova are hiding in the back room of Cornelius and Zira's house, Franciscus is mouthing part of Cornelius's speech"


"An alternate ending was written where Taylor, Brent and Nova escape the underground city prior to the detonation of the bomb, which was not a doomsday device as it is in the finished film. They return to Ape City and, along with Zira and Cornelius, release the humans from the cages and a new order is begun. The script ends hundreds of years later with the Lawgiver teaching a group of ape and human children, who sit in harmony together. The final shot of the script shows a mutated gorilla emerging from the underground and fatally shooting a flying dove."

One Million Years BC is one of my earliest cinema memories! I was too
young to notice Raquel and Martine at the time but I did notice the
music. It would be about another 25 years until I would eventually get
around to buying the score.



Landscape... Lanzarotte wasn't it?

Yes, they were. In a later scene Zaius walks from his outer to his inner office. In the outer office he's wearing boots and in the inner office he has ape shoes on.

Thanks William. The Walker was a beautiful theater but is was starting to fall apart in the 60' & 70's. In the '80s they declared it a lankmark as restored the place but it eventually they turned it into a multi-plex. Unfortunately that didn't help and in the '90s it was turned into a Mandee's. I think the last movie I saw there was Alien 3.

I saw Planet there with One Million BC sometime in the summer of '68. I'm not really sure of the exact date since I was 6 at the time.

Thanks Tim. A lot of interesting facts about the statue.

The iron had experienced galvanic corrosion wherever it contacted the copper skin, losing up to 50% of its thickness. Bartholdi had anticipated the problem and used an asbestos/pitch combination to separate the metals, but the insulation had worn away decades before. New bars of stainless steel bent into matching shapes replaced the iron bars, with Teflon film separating them from the skin for further insulation and friction reduction.

Yup that's the Walker and the Marboro as they looked in the '70s. I believe the marquee and the lobby of the Walker were re-done around 1970 or 1971.

I saw Planet and Battle for the first time at the Walker in '68 and '73, respectively. And saw Beneath in '70 and Escape in '71 at the Marboro. I did see both Escape and Conquest for a second time each at the Walker when they were playing there as second features to other films, I think one of those other films was The Hot Rock but can't be sure.
