Trailer 549 of 700
Last and least of the Apes series tries to bring the story full circle but suffers from tv-style production values and haphazard last-minute re-cutting to reduce the violence and secure a PG rating. The uncut version is now available on Blu-Ray.
I swear to she-god, one of your all time greatest! This trailer is ALMOST as awesome as the iconic poster! Love that pan of chanting 'island beauties' and Mr. Corman's commentary is as relaxing as a Hawaiian vacation...
I was in LA at the time doing promotional work for the Fox release of my MFHK. I remember going to WLF on Hollywood Boulevard and having a pulse pounding ride that purged the stresses of the day...
I remember this from years ago and it's really good. And the commentary is full of the stuff I need to know! I wondered why we did not see much more of JMV, now I know.
As a Dick Miller completest, I clearly have to see this picture. I can't believe it's passed me by so far.
Love this one, and love all the cheezy plot within a plot within a plot ripoffs that followed (remember all those gorgeous black and white Hammer second features?).
It out-convoys CONVOY! I wonder if this inspired Peckinpah to make his ill-fated trucker movie.
