But when these honored veterans of Hong Kong martial-arts movies get into fighting mode, it's an open question as to whether they'll survive till the end of the shoot. (Chan ends each of his films with gruesome outtakes of the injuries he suffered doing his stunts.) For all the safety precautions taken, the two stars still have to give every fiber of their disciplined, battered bodies to get through the kung-fu scenes.

As the stranded astronaut on the Planet of the Apes, he was the ultimate loner: the only member of his species in a world ruled by monkeys. Heston had caught a cold on the shoot, but director Franklin Schaffner insisted they keep filming, because the new gruffness in the star's voice lent a desperate urgency to his lines, from his first words to the simian overlords ("Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!") to his final curse of Planet Earth...
