| | Escape From The Planet Of The Apes (1970) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | starts out a little outrageously - with three apes who, having the incredibly fortunate timing of launching themselves into orbit just before some crazy human destroyed the whole planet, go way back in time to the present day (that is, 1971). |
 | | Anyway, two of these apes are Cornelius and Zira (Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter, returning), and the third is killed soon enough by an angry, caged gorilla. |
 | | Poor Cornelius and Zira are given a similarly short supply of intellectual resources in Paul Dehn's script, particularly at the end when they're being chased and Zira ditches her ape handbag in one of those "Gee, I wonder if they're going to find the handbag" moments. |
