1970

Beneath the Planet of the Apes

• Actor Heston claimed it was his idea that Taylor destroy the planet. He hoped that would end the series; not so, three sequels were made by APJAC Productions.
• This movie mentions the "Hasslein Curve", a rift in time that returned Taylor's and Brent's spaceships to Earth, far in its future. This is the second reference to Dr. Otto Hasslein, who appears in the next sequel, Escape from the Planet of the Apes.
• There was a continuity error. In the first movie Taylor and his comrades arrived back to Earth 3978 but in "Beneath" it was 3955, some twenty-three years earlier. Either Taylor's or Brent's chronometer was wrong.
• The Last Flight of the Icarus Fansite hosting many pictures and other information.
• Spaceship: Icarus Site with pictures, information, and behind-the-scenes pictures.
