Beneath The Planet Of The Apes (1970)

The first sequel to Planet Of The Apes and an interesting one to say the least. Starring discount Charlton Heston (James Francisus) with real Charlton Heston also reprising his role as Taylor albeit in a smaller capacity. This film took the series in a rather ridiculous direction but I can't help but admire the whole creativity of it all. This film almost turns a into a satire of nuclear obsession and has once again a great ending. it  doesn't hold up that well as a whole but it is certainly a creative and fun film.
