He also said that he did only a day's work on BENEATH, which he did as a freebie out of gratitude to producer Arthur P. Jacobs, and that he never bothered to see it or any of the later sequels.
I doubt that Heston worked on Beneath for more than two or (at most) three days, but he's certainly in more scenes than they could have possibly done in a day. One's on location in the desert, while the others take place on the subterranean Forbidden City sets. The flashback scene with Linda and Taylor's death scene with Dr. Zaius probably didn't take long to film, but the extended fight scene with James Franciscus must have taken a while, particularly with all the different camera set-ups.
