Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. 1972. (Extended Cut)

After a disease has wiped out cats and dogs in 1983, monkeys and apes are trained to be domesticated. in 1991, circus owner Armando arrives with a ape to distribute fliers for his circus, when they see apes being treated badly the monkey speaks, Armando sticks up for the ape who is told to hide amongst his kind. He is then sold at auction and decides to form a rebellion against mankind, alas Caesar has voice and lead his people to freedom.

Taking place some years after the previous film, Roddy Mcdowell takes lead stage again as Cornelius and Zira's son Caesar who survived with Amramndo played Ricardo Montalban who has a longer role in this film. Hari Rhodes plays MacDonald who is chief aid to Gov. Breck ( Don Murray) and finds Caesar can talk and tries to help him .

With the extended version there is more violence that was taken out and the ending changed due to negativity from test audiences, it was good to see the original intended ending with the apes stacking up bodies and all we can do is sit back and cheer, apes can be more intelligent than man and never be taken for granted,
