Planet of the Apes: The Legacy (1974)
Season 1, Episode 5
8/10
Zina Bethune & Jackie Earle Haley
2 May 2024
The fugitive three discover a computer, resembling a candy machine, that tells the history of humans, and might serve more answers - but it turns off, and when the Gorillas raid soon after, they capture Virdon..

Thus placing a street urchin, played by a pre-BAD NEWS BEARS Jackie Earle Haley, as a spy to learn the whereabouts of Burke and Galen, who are elsewhere planning to free their friend whom the gorillas are using as a plant to snare the entire trio.

An entertaining episode with some nice twists - and Ron Harper's character is front stage as we get to know him from the inside/out. Meanwhile, the artistic-looking, real life dancer Zena Bethune, Harvey Keitel's girlfriend from Martin Scorsese's first theatrical yet still very low-budget film WHO'S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR and who, years later in real life, died tragically while trying to save an injured possum on the freeway, guest stars along with Haley.
