Original ending to Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

After Caesar delevers his speech, the Apes raise their rifles to Breck to beat him to death. Lisa then says " no ", the second ape to speak other than Caesar. And then Caesar makes another speech showing a degree of mercy. This left test audiences with the hope of peaceful co-existence between apes and humans. This was also done in hopes the movie would get a "G" rating by the MPAA. But with the violent dark side, it got a PG rating. However the ORIGIONAL ending consisted of Caesar making his speech then the apes proceed to beat Breck to death with their rifles. The test audiences reacted badly to this so the studio re-edited the ending with the existing footage. The re-dubbing consisted of Lisa saying "no", and Roddy McDowall's new speech of mercy. Fox Movie Channel shows this ending and it is found on the 5-disc Blu-ray Disc set to commerate the 40th anniversary of Planet of the Apes which shows a more dark violent battle with more blood which was cut in favor of the PG audience. This version is yet to be realeased on DVD.
