MOVIE
When last we visited the planet of the apes, Chuck Heston was doing his damnedest to rid of us of the smelly creatures by nuking them all to hell. Your friendly neighborhood RKBA activist failed in his mission however. Just as Taylor was entering the Lagrange Codes public key sequence, Roddy McDowell was beating up the guy wearing the Cornelius costume and joining Zira for a joyride in James Franciscus' space jalopy. Roddy enters *69 on the control pad, and soon they cough up the extra 60 cents and hit "1" for a return call to the 70s. Kim and Roddy and some other damn monkey who dies sooner or later kick back Ghandi style while scientists probe them with bananas. Then some special blue-ribbon panel interrogates and lets them go shopping, until they change their mind and hunt them down like dogs. Zira spawns Milo and leaves the space seedling with Ricardo Montahlbahn, who promises to raise him into a fine young
decrepit Roddy McDowall who can carry his own sequel. Then Cornelius and Zira fall off a boat and die.

SPECIAL FRENCH EDTION VIDEODISK
The Apes Cycle, of course, is derived from the works of French novelist Pierre Boule. This particular chapter of the saga, however was without French source material. To make the movie more realistic to French filmgoers the storyline was altered. When the apes landed they were, of course, no less hairy or smelly than anyone else. They easily blended into society and no one heard from them again. This alternate cut runs 24 minutes.
