    Apes were of course at the forefront of the burgeoning Seattle music scene in 1991. Mark Arm? APE. Kim Thayil? APE. Mark Lanegan? APE. Courtney Love? You'd better believe it -- APE.

    This is the best of the sequels. But how do you remake this one without its predecessors? Do you just make Caesar a mutant supersmart ape, without the time-traveling parents from the ape-run future? That would just be sort of crappy. Part of the weird quirky charm of this one was that Caesar, Ricardo Montalban--and the audience--knew things about the future that other people didn't. The fear of a talking ape doesn't make sense, either.

    @cletar: I suppose you could make Conquest as a lead in to another remake of Planet of the Apes? Perhaps a better one? Although I did like Paul Giamatti in that one. I like Paul Giamatti pretty much in every thing I have seen him in.

    Actually, Batman throwing an exploding lightsaber at Wolverine while Bruce Lee riding Battle Cat fights Voltron is more awesome, but otherwise, you're right, Annalee.

    @Annalee Newitz: He wasn't really Satan. Also, the remake of that episode starring Battle Cat instead of the Doctor does beat it.


    @Garrett Martin: That is where I'm holding my grand Enter the Dragon-style tournament.


    @silver-bolt: You're right. And that's also the same reason they tried to ban making love to me.

    @Plague: How can you not love violent ape revolution? Seriously, I would way rather hear "lousy human bastards!" than "damn dirty ape!" I guess I'm just an ape lover.


    Also, many of the ape training and torture scenes were filmed at UC Irvine, right near where I grew up.

    Okay, sorry y'all, but it's time to nitpick. From the novelization/backstory: When Khan is cradling that dying kid, that's his son. What he's saying (interrupted with the death rattle, don'tchaknow) is, "Yours is the superior intellect". A very touching sentiment for a genetically enhanced superman. It all adds fuel to the fire Khan feels to destroy Kirk.

    He was the best. Over on Defamer they have a couple of clips from his 40's movies. What. A. Babe. Or whatever they said back then. He was hot well into old age.


    Also a great activist for Latino actors.

    Oh, sure, they want you to believe Khan is dead. But, really, right at the end of the War, him and some of the other supermen stole a spaceship and took off. They're still out there...waiting. Seriously. Couple of dozen of the supermen were never accounted for after the War. Look it up.
