I've seen Beneath the Planet of the Apes on the CBS Friday Night Movie back in the 1970s. James Franciscus read the script for the movie. He didn't like his dialogue so with permission he wrote his own dialogue to make his character more interesting. He was also a writer.

10/10 I was 9 when my grandfather took my older brother and me to The Hollywood Pacific Theater to see 2001: A Space Odyssey. We sat front row in the balcony. I then (and still do) thought the 1/2 hour opening ape sequence was far too lengthy but was wowed by the rest of the movie. Pretty amazing. Most of all -- the poster was killer.

Sci-Fi movie quiz? Hell yeah! I’m a massive Sci-Fi nerd!

Oh wait. Pre-70s stuff? Not so sure now. Oh well, let’s give it a try.

10/10 I’m a bigger Sci-Fi nerd than I thought 🤣

As others have said, if you want to make it harder you need to blur out the names of the bottoms of the movie posters. I would have gotten #8 correct just from the actors names but the title of the film made it extra easy. Great quiz though MeTV Staff!
