Planet of the Apes 1968 ( FILMING LOCATION VIDEO) Charlton Heston Ending

FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK / 142496402443046
Planet of the Apes is a 1968 epic science fiction film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner based on the novel La planète des singes by Pierre Boulle. The film stars Charlton Heston and features Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, veteran Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans, James Whitmore, James Daly and Linda Harrison. The script was originally written by Rod Serling but had many rewrites before eventually being made.
The film was ground-breaking for its prosthetic makeup techniques by artist John Chambers, and was well received by critics and audiences, launching a film franchise, including four sequels, as well as a short lived television show, animated series, comic books, various merchandising, and eventually a remake in 2001. Roddy McDowall, in particular, had a long-running relationship with the Apes series, appearing in the original series of five films (one only via stock footage from an earlier film), and also in the television series.
Most of the early scenes of a desert-like terrain were shot in northern Arizona near the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon and other locations near Page, Arizona
Most scenes of the ape village, interiors and exteriors, were filmed on the Fox Ranch in Malibu Creek State Park, northwest of Los Angeles, essentially the backlot of 20th Century Fox.
The concluding beach scenes were filmed on a stretch of California seacoast between Malibu and Oxnard with cliffs that towered 130 feet above the shore. Reaching the beach on foot was virtually impossible, so cast, crew, film equipment, and even horses had to be lowered in by helicopter.
The remains of the Statue of Liberty were shot in a secluded cove on the far eastern end of Westward Beach, between Zuma Beach and Point Dume in Malibu.
As noted in the documentary Behind the Planet of the Apes,] the special effect shot of the half-buried statue was achieved by seamlessly blending a matte painting with existing cliffs.

A lot of work has gone into this, and I for one, appreciate it.

[@gregh7457]

he really really liked this movie wow

[@tomnaughadie]

An ape could have done it.

[@garyha2650]

Quicksilver, I agree

[@michaelcorazzini6869]

Totally agree

[@YouSimon1000]

Genius. Fantastic. Five Stars. And Two Thumbs Up.

[@gkroll8467]

great film but you could smoke in the ship and even put it out on the dashboard and not worry about a fire good times back then

[@vincekuznicki7111]

This is by far the best video like this on old movie sets I've ever seen. This guy did an outstanding job. I'd like to see many more videos like this. Fantastic!!!

[@jarodquintillius7547]

la planete a macron

[@jeffvantassel7670]

Dude, mad respect for researching these locals.

[@wbwilhite]

That was really awesome. I saw the original Planet of the Apes when I was 13 at the movie theater. It was like Star Wars for me. I saw it several times. And then I watched the next four in the series, going to each one repeatedly.

[@rock696900]

Me too, Mr... I saw that movie in tv at 7 seven or eight years old, about 1977..in Colombia. For me It was very impressive.

[@irvhh143]

I saw it on late night tv. This is what sci fi should do, give you a totally new perspective on the universe. I saw last Jedi yesterday. While it is a good movie, it is a rehash of stuff we've all seen before.

[@ktcarl]

I thought this one was the best of the series.

[@ianmangham4570]

Nice one bill

[@qnadigital]

Growing up in the sixties, and passing the Fox ranch, in Malibu Canyon, every day on the bus to school, we saw many productions come and go, but none was more exciting than POTA. Having spent my entire adult life, working in the film industry, I truly appreciate the work that went into this documentary. Bravo!

[@jonathanross360]

I lived in malibu lake

[@normturner4849]

I love the superimposing with the 'host' amongst the cast. He even does the script direction to help us to see how it was. Probably the best film set revisited or film comparison video I've ever seen! Congratulations👍🏽. A real work of love for the film❗️👏🏽😎

[@BIGLOVE4TRUTH]

My dad and his friend were boating at lake Powell in 68. They came across the spaceship and looked inside at the valves and pipes used to sink it. Then they saw people on the shore and went to inquire. The y encountered the film crew who told them about the movie. None of the actors were there at the time.

[@cuda426hemi]

The hatch that blew off is on the floor on Lake Powell still as far as I know. Then they re-used the ship on sequels and the TV show - after Escape From POA, the nose cone was a different color because when it "washed ashore" in Escape in Malibu it broke from the tow lines and smacked into those rocks forcing quick fix on the cone. As far as I know nobody knows what happened to that dart shaped steel prop - collector buy or rust at scrapyard.....🗼

[@roquefortfiles]

Really? That is an incredible story. Apes is one of the all time classic Sci Fi films.

[@GABELOGANPETS]

This video is one of the best EVER! As a fan of this great saga, I now loved to watch the places nowadays here. Is a nice gift. Just great!

[@sweetguy19762]

why was he mad at the end what happen to all the humans?

[@Danny7618]

+Owen Chase science channel Is that a rhetorical question? humans blew up the earth

[@sweetguy19762]

Danny7618 no I just did not understand.

[@Danny7618]

+Owen Chase science channel It was more of a political commentary with the cold war going on and how we would destroy our own

[@sweetguy19762]

o ok, good movie.

[@finnblu3002]

a hot, steamy town a young boy in the first row of a neighborhood movie theater a bigger than life theater - the hushed tones the dark interior in the middle of a sunny day sitting there transfixed completely immersed in another world... and sent into my own imaginary orbit from the explosive! sound and visuals of the corn field scene straight through to closing credits. thanks for the memories . . . . . .

[@petergagnon6851]

Finn Blu I would love to talk to you I could not of expressed it any better

[@bandfromtheband9445]

I would love to talk to you, too, about your repressed homosexual feelings around this film that shows some outstanding footage! In "hushed tones," of course...

[@davidjames666]

Watching this on dvd as a kid, that dead astronaut in her sleeping chamber scared the fruit rollups out of me!!

[@gilbertosuna5496]

LOVE YOUR GREAT COMMENT

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Finn Blu perfectly put , I had the same feeling

[@SeaMonkey137]

Awesome job with research and capturing the camera angles. True POTA fans appreciate this. Many thanks!

[@publiusvelocitor4668]

I remember my mother describing this movie to our family after seeing it. Totally blew her mind. I guess you could say she spoiled the surprise, and 8t was several years later, before I got around to seeing it. Pretty amazing film, which has stood the test of 50 years time.

[@djay6651]

Pretty good transitions and great job on replicating the shot angles.

[@KutWrite]

...and putting yourself into them!

[@jakkijimms3413]

I LOVE CHARLTON HESTON

[@vincentkosik403]

Great actor and man

[@bandfromtheband9445]

I don't. I despise him and everything he stood for! I'm glad that this evil jerk is dead and I hope his hands are still cold! He was an evil jerk upon his death, when he used to be a very warm and welcoming person, no matter what! Something turned inside him and made him an evil jerk and a patriarch as the most hateful spokeswoman of the nra, the "not-relative-anymore platform." Good riddance, assh**e!!!!

[@bandfromtheband9445]

@Old Iron Oh really? An NRA rally in West Virginia? I hope you wore your beautiful pink smock and your Capri pantsuit to impress him! Chuck Heston always loved fat and insane "gun-lover-hillbillies" like you, sweetheart! As long as you drooled over the GUN you were carrying, Jesus loves you! NOT!!!!!

[@bandfromtheband9445]

@B Brunson And a truly hateful individual. You have been duped!

[@nickbigmann5228]

@Martin S fuck you... loser !!!!

[@stevekille447]

What a great job on this, it’s fantastic, I see you posted this 9 years ago, so I may be a little late on the compliments. I remember going to see this film when I was 11 when it first came out, I went by myself because none of my friends would go. To me this is the one that matters, there’s many sequels, and it was done again years later, but this is for me the best one, way ahead of it’s time.

[@coolaunt516]

I remember seeing this in a drive-in when it first came out. The ending was extremely upsetting and I was sad all the way home. Great ending by Rod Serling!

[@kennethdemuchest5171]

Yes, I agree. I wasn't born yet, but when this came on Sunday afternoon. My dad said, " Come watch this movie . I think you might like it 😊. The makeup was so real looking to me. I thought they were real apes lol. When the end of the movie came l was puzzled. Why was the Statue of liberty on the beach. My dad said, " That time they blew the world up." So he never left earth I said, " My dad said, "Right".

[@ThePianoMan1953]

I think I was 12 years old and I went to a matinee. It was the first time I'd ever gone to a movie by myself. I actually remember the movie costing 35 cents!

[@toddbroeker8683]

Dude! I’m a HUGE “Apes” fan and this was awesome! I’ve always been fascinated by the locations Arthur P. Jacobs shot in, especially living in Arizona. You did an incredible job. Thank you for putting this together and sharing it!

[@Firebrand55]

Herve Attia has a unique and highly skilful now-and-then process. His blending of the different times is superb, not to mention the time it must have taken to find these locations. Exemplary.

[@PhilippinesFarmLife]

Very impressive! A lot of time and effort has gone into your work. Thank you!

[@gweflj]

Herve’s productions are works of art.

[@Susie_Floozie]

You have an excellent technique of immersing your viewers in each location, across 50+ years of time and erosion. Scouting the locations was enough of a chore, but you went and did the extra heavy lifting to bring it all together like this. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@urbexgyula]

It was simply awesome!!

[@orionsstar6326]

Fantastically accurate. Thank you, what a dedicated person you are. A+

[@galactuslord]

excellent job showing all the areas. its incredible what could be accomplished in the USA. I always thought it was filmed in some isolated far away land lol.

[@douglashelliwell3347]

Heston totally brilliant, but he was in my favorite film, the Omega Man, totally loved this film.

[@michaeljordan6008]

Heston was fantastic. He was a great actor and an even better person.

[@Traveller69]

I became him in terms of his attitude to humanity, maybe we all do eventually.

[@crlguitar1]

That must have taken an incredible amount of time to find, then film those locations.... Blending was pretty interesting....Fascinated to see how time eroded some of those areas.

[@bobbyfairchild7365]

One of the greatest. They don't make movies like this anymore.

[@Lifeisshortby]

That’s for sure,it’s all woke garbage now days.

[@redstar1408]

wow... pretty impressed; someone took the time to go to so many of the original film locations and replicating the shooting angles. Very Cool!

[@MsLane61]

Just a beautiful compilation. Your hard work is evident. And your love of the film. Stunning work, Kiddo.

[@PaulKyriazi]

That's the best movie location video I've ever seen. Perfectly lined up the movie shots with your camera with slow dissolves so we can see them line up. Split screen was a great idea. Even lighting flashes for that scene. Good use of dialogue from the movie to go over your new camera shots. Great job.

[@MsLMN-bp9dx]

+Paul Kyriazi I agree, this was one of the best movie location clips I've seen.

[@jupitr2]

Thanks SO much for this! 'Planet of the Apes' is one of my favorite movies and the location shots that you researched and merged in here are fantastic! Bravo!

[@luckyben67]

Wow!! Fantastic job bro!! I have been an Apes fan since I was 6 years old! And now 55 and aways wanted to actually see the behind the scenes of the Planet of the Apes! And you made it come true!! Thank you for making this excellent video!!

[@camsmith336]

One of my all time favourite movies growing up. Thank you so very much for putting this together!!!!!

[@spiderman101x]

I've tremendously enjoyed reliving the locations and scenes of many of my favorite classic movies, thanks to your hard work and ingenuity. It remains fascinating to see how so many locations, both man made and natural have changed or remain the same after several decades. Thank you so very much.

[@glencram]

That was incredible! One of my all-time favorite movies. Thank you so much for all the work you put into this. Unbelievable!

[@georgesherman5345]

That took a tremendous amount of time and effort on your part. Excellent job. Thanks.

[@YesItsMeGuys68]

I can’t imagine the research & time it took to locate these locations .. and using the image sandwiching so perfectly ... Bravo !

[@Gyntster]

This is the best of the genre! I love how you stitched the modern day site with the exact segment from the film...perfecto!

[@ouagadougou62]

That movie was amazing, long before CGI, they knew how to make a movie very suspenseful and dramatic. The soundtrack alone was so spooky.

[@davidclark4361]

I was 9 years old. My mom dropped me off at the theater so I could watch it by myself. Only single theaters back then. Huge with a balcony. Had a semi sealed off crying room under the balcony for moms and infants. Can still smell the urine when I think about it. Ugh... Vividly remember everything about that movie, and the 2nd one too, Return to the planet of the apes. This video was spot on with scene fades in and out. We'll done you damn dirty ape! P.S. Vacationed at Grand Canyon and flew to Page AZ for day excursion. Came in over Lake Powell. Beautiful oasis in the desert .Took raft trip from Glen Canyon Dam along Colorado river through Horseshoe Bend. Boat/Raft captain pointed out film location(s).

[@francoisona]

The amount of work behind making this is spectacular. Thank you. Thank you!

[@centuryrox]

Excellent job, sir! I hope you kept those remnants of Ape City! "It's a MADHOUSE!!! A MAAAAAAAAADHOUSE!!!!!"

[@irvhh143]

In the book there was a scene of monkeys running the stock market with them climbing the walls, too bad that couldn't have been In the movie.

[@MovieMakingMan]

[@diligenceintegrity2308]

you can get that clip on youtube. I got it.

[@ROCKINGMAN]

I watch this film and listen to it's soundtrack from time to time. Love this film. The first was inventive, new and exciting for '68. The sequels did not have the same impact. Beautiful atmospheric film. Real nice upload.

[@Metropolis-gh6bc]

Excellent work! I saw this at the drive in when it was released. A double feature with One Million Years BC. One of my most memorable nights as a boy. I have been sitting on a DVD copy if each, waiting for the right time I do a double feature in my living room. Thank you for all the work you did!

[@SUPERFLY-ky7yh]

I remember watching this with my father when I was a kid. This is a unique tribute to this film. Lots of fun during the stay at home.

[@panchothemonkey]

You should win the Academy Award for this one.

[@1peterk]

Thanks for this you did a great job blending the movie with the now.

[@snoopu2601]

This is way cool how you went back to where they film it and not much has changed since then, but everyone in the movie has either past on or changed.

[@rosetinteddays2605]

Why do i feel melancholy when watching this? fantastic editing thank you so much for your endeavours!

[@witblitsfilm]

Brilliantly done man. I for one appreciate the dedication and work that went into this!

[@paulraggett7837]

I throughly enjoyed that. Well done and thank you.

[@randallanderson6477]

This is a fantastic video of the making of one of the BEST SCI FI FILMS ever made....I went to Lake Powell first time in 1970, and every summer for the next 42 years, many times. My good friend Wally, on a fishing trip, witnessed the filming at Last Change Bay on Lake Powell and told us about it. I have every version on film/tape/disc since then. The BlueRay is just astounding, and the music was and is a huge part of the film.. I cannot describe the audience reaction in the theatre back in '68; it was shock, amazement. I saw it at least 5 times, including at a Drive In...THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO MR. ATTIA!! will pass it on to all my friends.

[@troy9er]

Wow, just Wow!! I saw this in 1968 in the theater. It was amazing back then!!! Thanks for re working and posting! 👍🏻

[@ruibonito7540]

119/5000 Wrong. You don't know at what stage the tide was during the filming 50 years ago and now.

[@SteveSputnik]

The average sea rise over the past five decades wouldn't be measurable with the naked eye, especially, as Rui points out, when the tide might be at a different point to what it was when the movie was shot. Take into account such things as weather variations, tide cycles , time of the year etc. and the fact that both pieces of film are long-shots and it would be ridiculous to use the latter piece of film as evidence that sea levels aren't rising. A rise of 2" wouldn't be noticeable with the naked eye, but it would be significant if it marked a trend.

[@tube.brasil]

@@ruibonito7540 you really want to be deceived, dont you?

[@tube.brasil]

@@SteveSputnik some people like you just want to be deceived. You remind me of the humans in cages in the movie.

[@gingerturtle4229]

Brilliant, really enjoyed seeing the locations all these years on and the subtle changes that have taken place over the years. Makes things feel very small and insignificant that even after all that time the rocks and waterways have hardly changed but so many of us have turned to dust.

Absolutely fantastic , great job, congratulations. From that old time you have brought the present state of those sites, that are engraved in my mind from the first time I saw it in a movie theater, the first time they show it in Chile. It gives a twist to many previous thoughts that it makes me wonder if films with a message are more valuable than those just make for fun. Thanks you very much.

[@MissMarinaCapri]

I find this video you made quite amazing! You see you when I was a child and went to the movies and saw planet of the apes for the first time, I was enthralled by the science-fiction of it all on the big screen. So much so that I went and saw the same movie in the same theater for a minimum of four times which is the first time I’ve ever done such a thing. So, thank you so much for this interesting video.
