I like that scene too. I wish the original opening that was filmed (but effects never completed) would turn up eventually - where the three witness the Earth explode.
I totally agree with you. Each film has it's own strengths. I just get my feathers ruffled a bit when people try and re-write or re-evaluate the facts of the first film to construct a cohesive narrative from all five films... let alone adding the TV show.
It can't be done.
But each film can be enjoyed for it own sake.
Yeah, Roddy was one wise ape. He shoud have been an orangutan.
He was too thin. He didn't have the right body mass.
Of all of the pills that Paul Dehn (screenwriter) asked us to swallow, that was by far the hardest.
And yeah even though it doesn't make a lick of sense, the image of the three apes taking off the helmets had a huge impact on me when I was 8 in a darken movie theater.... and it is something that has always stayed with me. The scene is perfectly punched up by Jerry Goldsmith, who wrote the film score of the first film.
Speaking of Escape, it is funny that the film asserts that it's Taylor's ship that the chimps used to travel... however it's way too small to be Taylor's ship and the whole hatch opening (the hatch that was blown in the first film for the astronauts to escape) and sensor pole are missing from the spaceship altogether.
Oooops!

Hello BB, I think there was a huge shing ding there last year or the year before. They were giving tours to celebrate the upcoming anniversary I think. PZ would know more on this though, he's our city's scribe.

You guys have probably seen this photo before, but it's the front view of the three of the ape-o-nauts.
I drive my wife nuts with the inconsistencies of almost every show/film we watch that has them. Somehow though, the apes films escape that scrutiny. I just love to watch them.
With todays technology we might one day see it. Look how they've redone the Trek tv series effects.I like that scene too. I wish the original opening that was filmed (but effects never completed) would turn up eventually - where the three witness the Earth explode.
Conquest was never my fave of t5he series, though I must admit to likingthe uncut version much more than the originally released version.
