Penguin's Sub!

Post by Yellow Oval »

From Roddy McDowell's home movies during filming of 1967's Planet of the Apes. 20th Century Fox Ranch at Malibu Creek State Park. The blue sky background tarp is at 9:16 and the sub is right after. It's only the top half of a submarine hull and the water tank in front of the tarp looks empty - for obvious reasons being almost a year after filming the 1966 Batman movie. The penguin bird can be seen in front of the sub's tower.

The Bookworm finds the Penguin's Sub and is a year too late to join the United Underworld! :P

Great BTS stuff, thanks for finding and thanks for sharing.
I find you to be odious, abhorrent and insegrevious.

Found it in higher definition here:

Managed to grab a still image of the sub and tweaked the brightness and contrast a bit... too bad it's a copy of a video transfer to begin with:

Here's a bonus for you Green Hornet fans: remember the airliner from the "Crime Wave" episode?

It's the DC-6 mocked up to look like a jetliner from the 1964 movie Fate is the Hunter.
Thanks for the heads-up, Yellow Oval!

So that's where criminals store their pre-atomic submarines after they've been captured!
