Ape is Enough. Beneath the Escape from the Conquest of the Battle for The Planet of the Apes.

Dude, having spent my entire life as a millenial explaining to my peers that the original Planet of the Apes has four sequels, I'm glad that other people have had the same ordeal, based on some of the comments.

The extended (unrated) version of Conquest is absolutely incredible. The extended ending is chilling.

In a series that is alternately campy & bleak, Escape is both the campiest entry of the series & the most soul-crushingly dark.

Cornelius to Brent: "If you are captured by gorillas, you mustn't speak!" Brent: "What the hell would i have to say to a gorilla??"

Conquest is one of the best just for Caesar's final speech. "Where there is fire,there is smoke"

I met Linda Harrison, aka Nova, at a sci-fi convention about 20 years ago. She was still a dream.

Back in the late '70s and early '80s, there was a Planet of the Apes movie on TV just about every weekend. I loved them. I also remember watching the live-action TV show, reading the comic books, and playing with the action figures!

Used to love coming home on a Saturday afternoon to watch the 'Planet of The Apes' tv show. That, Space 1999, The Six MIllion Dollar Man and Dukes of Hazzard to name a view made Saturdays. Happy Days!

I've always been fond of Beneath and find the skinless mutants extremely disturbing- especially in that interogation scene.

My favourite was Beneath. It was the storyline that hooked me . I found it the most interesting to see the remnants of humanity and how they mutated . I found it a fitting end .

BtPotA is my favorite. Mutated, psychic humans worshipping a gold plated nuclear bomb in the forbidden zone is just way too cool of a concept. It over shadows any deficiencies.

I was like 10 years old when I saw Escape. I cried so hard at the end. And I developed a major crush on Roddy McDowell to this day. Planet and Conquest are my favorites

Whenever I watch Conquest, I always watch the original cut that has the darker ending. It feels much more natural.

The ending of Escape From The Planet Of The Apes was probably the most traumatic media experience I think I experienced as a child when I saw it for the first time sometime in the late 70's on tv

As a result of this video I've recently rewatched movies 3,4 & 5 in the Planet of the Apes franchise for the first time since the early 80s. Sequels today are often carbon copies of the original, sometimes even resetting some resolution from the first movie. In contrast each Planet of the Apes sequel is quite distinct. I think this has something to do with their success.

Saw all these at the small theatre my late dad managed back in the 70's..those Saturday matinees will always one of the fondest memories of my younger years.

The Apes sequels are mostly OK, but my favourite was always Escape, a true "fish out of water" story concerning everyone's favourite ape couple, Cornelius and Zira.

The first sci-fi/fantasy film franchise. Watched them over and over again on the late movies on local TV.

I don't disagree with your assessment on a technical level, but Beneath is still my favourite of the sequels (followed closely by Conquest). First seeing Beneath as a kid, I was utterly fascinated by the idea of mutants worshipping an atomic bomb as their god. I also think they did a great job at creating the very eerie and haunting remains of New York City on such a small budget. Battle is definitely the worst of them, but it's still essential in bringing the series back around to where it started...almost, anyway. It's left open-ended as to whether or not a new timeline has been created that will differ from Zira and Cornelius' timeline, which I thought was a clever little twist. Anyway, great video, really enjoyed it!

I actually like Battle for the Planet of the Apes, expecially the relationship between Caesar and Virgil, but, whenever I watch it, it feels like I am watching a pilot to a television series and not a motion picture.
