I've watched all 5 of these over the last week, any fans?

The ever decreasing budgets really start to take their toll after the 2nd one but what they lost in dollars they certainly made up for in creativity with the whole Apes-travel-back-to-our-time twist, which sets up the whole revolution aspect.

The 5th one (Battle) is really pretty shit, but 3 & 4 are fuckin deadly AND have ricardo montalban, which makes them legally awesome.

IT'S A MADHOUSE!

A MAAAAAAAADHOUSE!!!!!!!!!

I love those movies.

The one with the talking baby monkey at the end blew my mind when I was a kid.

that's actually my favorite of the sequels. not too keen on Cheston-a-like in the 2nd one.

This guy Eric Braeden OWNS the fucking screen in it. Went on to daytime US soaps though...

Yeah, I got the cheapie HMV set too. It's class. They're pretty hard to watch without thinking of ::clef:: I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-a to chimpan-zee, you'll never make a monkey out of me::clef:: though.
 
Got the 6 disc set yesterday for 6 pounds in Gatwick Airport HMV.

Pretty much no chance of escaping the twist from the first one. Even if you've never come across it in pop culture the packaging and menu screens are riddled with it.
 
the most amazing thing about Planet Of The Apes is the fact that Roddy MacDowell looked just as much like a monkey in real life as he did in the film.

Yurn, how dare you not text me about starting a POTA thread!

i know these movies inside out..
"get your paws offa me you dirty monkeys!"
