01:43I still get fan mail from all over the world.
01:47Get those, get those holes!
01:50Here, revealing star secrets.
01:52I think that was my first news, you see.
01:54One of the coffee girls walked behind me.
01:57Nice buns.
01:58Had inside stories.
01:59We had to look into the mirror as we ate
02:02so that we would not destroy the appliances.
02:04Complete never-before-seen footage.
02:07Which came first?
02:08The Ape by the Man.
02:10Hosted by Ronnie McDowell.
02:12The final.
02:13The ultimate ape event.
02:15The birth of the planet of the apes!
02:20Behind the planet of the apes.
02:23To the man of the apes!
02:27From Foxstar Productions.
02:28In association with American Movie Classics
02:31and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
02:34Wow.
02:39Hmm.
02:44The fourth apes film began shooting on January the 31st, 1972
02:50under the direction of J. Lee Thompson.
02:53Keep close, keep close!
02:58The title was Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
03:02Fire!
03:04Fire!
03:10In the scenes where the ape revolution reaches its zenith,
03:14director Thompson found himself pushing for a level of on-speed violence
03:17that had never been seen in an apes film before.
03:20The first preview at Phoenix, mothers took their children running down the aisles
03:31to get out of the theater.
03:33because of the bloodiness of the rats.
03:39Shoot her!
03:40Shoot her!
03:42The censor wouldn't pass the film the first time.
03:48Too much blood and too much gore.
03:52Fox wanted to try and retain the family audience.
03:56And, uh, they made us cut her a great deal.
04:03It was a violent film.
04:06And politically very disturbing.
04:14Screenwriter Dane and director Thompson
04:16modeled the apes' revolt after the 1965 Watts riots.
04:20An event that had left an indelible impression on the American landscape.
04:30In 1972, there was no way any major studio was going to release a film
04:35where the hero was the leader of the Watts riots.
04:38But, you can release a film where the leader of an eight slave revolution is your hero.
04:44And you can capture the audience's attention,
04:49and all of a sudden, try to get people to maybe rethink the way they were looking at
04:53the current events of the time.
04:55And that's one of the beauties of really well done science fiction.
04:58Now, the biggest.
05:09The newest.
05:11The most exciting of all the Planet of the Apes pictures.
05:15Climaxed by the spectacular Revolt of the Apes.
05:18The most awesome.
05:23The most horrifying spectacle in the annals of science fiction.
05:28First, pampered as pets.
05:31Then, abused as servants.
05:33Now, oppressed as slaves.
05:35All the rest of the slaves.
05:36Hmm.
05:45Hmm.
05:47Order full mobilization of all security forms.
05:50Police, militia, and reserve defense units.
05:52You get every entrance under the center.
05:54Yes, sir.
05:55Our control members would look at these two.
05:57Yes, at station.
05:58They are worried about one control level.
06:01Shoot to cure.
06:03Oh.
06:05Aim!
06:08Star Wars!
06:09Oh.
06:11That's the semise joke as man faces aid in the ultimate revolution.
06:28There is fire, there is smoke, like.
06:31And in that moment from this day forward, my people will crop and plan for the inevitable day of man's downfall.
06:42And that day is upon you now!
07:01Mmm.
07:11Mmm.
07:12Mmm.
07:16Mmm.
07:20Mmm.
07:25that he wants to work.
