Yet another great band name stolen from me. I always wanted to use “Damn Dirty Apes”, but somebody in Memphis beat me to it.
I always imagined that all the events of the movies still took place; despite the best efforts of humans & apes in the near future, they still blew it up. Am I the only pessimist?
Actually, I was kind of hoping the thread would be something more like this :
" Me an’ you, we got sense. But them humans ain’t got no sense. They ain’t ape. An ape wouldn’t live the way they do."
“Get your stinking paws off my dirt, you damn dirty apes! It’s no good, but it’s mine!”
“I used to be the Defender of the Faith. Used to be. I reckon I was Minister o’ Science too. But I can’t do that anymore. Maybe there ain’t no Lawgiver. No wrong, or right. There’s jus’ apes, and what they does.”
“I ain’t goin’ to Ape City.”
Perhaps nothing campier in movie history than a female ape doing a “runway turn” in a designer dress . . . Except for maybe the same ape getting drunk off “grape juice-plus.”
I must the ending to four, but in the fifth one it starts out with the apes rebuilding society (with some of the humans from four as slaves, like that MacDonald guy) in an Ape retreat in a sunny valley, and for some reason the city they used to live in is bombed out, and the suburbs and all the development leading into the city itself disappeared/turned to dirt somehow.
