Saru No Gundan
Saru no Gundan (SFドラマ 猿の軍団[NB 1], Army of the Apes[NB 2]) is a Japanese science fiction miniseries from 1974 based on Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes.
Army of the Apes
The series was produced by Tsuburaya Productions. It ran for 26 episodes and followed a female scientist and two young children who travel through time to a future ruled by apes. The trio struggle to find a way to get back home to the 20th century.
Time of the Apes
In 1987, television producer Sandy Frank edited together several episodes of the series, including the first and last episodes, into a movie called Time of the Apes. Syndicated to broadcast and cable outlets, this compilation film was also released on home video in mid-1988.
The movie was then featured twice on Mystery Science Theater 3000, originally on KTMA in 1989,[1] and then later as part of season 3 in 1991 on Comedy Central.[2]
