That damned dirty armor + you damned dirty ape!


I like this movie. Anyone else notice how Charleton Heston says a great line that is very similar to his great line in the original Planet Of The Apes?

In The War Lord, at about 1:09:35 into the movie, Heston says to his brother Draco:
"...while I sweated inside that damned dirty armor. 20 years!"

And in Planet Of The Apes he says:
"Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"

I know both movies had the same director. Anyone know if Heston ever said any other "damned dirty" lines? Maybe it became a catch phrase of his, like Arnold always saying "I'll be back" in the Terminator movies.

Holding up a musket, Charlton Heston said: "I have only five words for you: From my cold, dead hands." He liked using d words like dirty and dead, it seems.
