Personally, I was expecting that TCM would be airing the original "Planet of the Apes" on February 8, 2018 as being the 50th anniversary of that movie around evening time, but to my disappointment, it didn't. Well, I might as well buy the "Planet of the Apes" Legacy Collection for my viewing pleasure.

Heston wasn't fond of sequels and thought it wasn't a great idea. However, he was grateful to the producers and the studio for making the first film a success so he agreed to work on the film for nine days and get killed off. He even came up with the idea of Taylor setting off the doomsday bomb and destroying the world. Heston later said he intended that as a joke so they wouldn't make any more sequels but they took him seriously. As for his salary, Heston donated it to Harvard Business College.

He means James Daly, father of Tim Daly and brother to Tyne Daly, who plays the prosecuting ape lawyer Honorious (virtually unrecognizably) in Taylor's "trial."

Yes it was.. I honestly never knew why they never aired them before 2014 (I watched on this night, it was a big deal,) but somehow AMC had the rights to them for most of my childhood and teen years. They haven't aired them in a while but I always remember them being on AMC more than anywhere else. Turner actually had the series rights back in the late 90's ironically.. TBS's Christmas Day marathon in 1999 was the Apes movies. Back when they were the Superstation and aired all kinds of things.. good times.

I was always under the understanding that the French novel was Inspired by Rod Serling short story which is why they approached Rod Serling to write the movie version version tailored towards a limited budget.

Each sequel was made for less and less money (which wasn't that much to begin with!) but they still managed to keep the stories interesting. I like the fact that the whole story is circular, with part 5 setting us back up for part 1 to start the story all over again. Pretty smart writing there. It's worth getting the blu-ray to get the whole behind the scenes documentary which is very interesting. Here's that test footage that was mentioned. You might recognize the temporary music as being from "Lost in Space": kzitem.info/news/bejne/wm-Z25qYj4CbpW0
