TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Mr. MacDonald (Hari Rhodes in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)) was also meant to return, but after Rhodes refused, the character was changed to his brother, and Austin Stoker was cast.

Roddy McDowall and Natalie Trundy are the only cast members to appear in four of the five original "Planet of the Apes" movies. McDowall appeared in all except the first sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), unless you include the flashback at the beginning for which he received an uncredited appearance. Natalie Trundy did not appear in the Planet of the Apes (1968), but appeared in all four sequels. McDowall also starred in the television series Planet of the Apes (1974). William Beckley (the British newscaster on "Escape From the Planet of the Apes" (1971)) and Woodrow Parfrey (Dr. Maximus on "Planet of the Apes" (1968)) both appeared as chimpanzees on the series' pilot, and Bobby Porter (Cornelius on this film) appeared as a young chimp on two episodes (the pilot being one of them).

Governor Breck from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) was originally planned to return as the villain, but Don Murray wasn't interested. However, Severn Darden was available to return, so Breck's former security chief Kolp was promoted to main villain.

During the battle at Ape City, there are many scenes of tree houses exploding in flames. In reality, due to budget constraints, only one tree house was blown up. However, this explosion was filmed from multiple angles. These shots were then divided and edited into multiple places in the finished film to give the illusion that many tree houses had been blown up.

The scenes of Ape City in this film were filmed at the Fox Ranch, now Malibu State Park. The interior scenes of the Dead City were filmed inside a waterworks plant, so when MacDonald points and says "This is...was...Eleventh Avenue", you can see they're surrounded by walls and are not standing on the remains of a street corner.

"Virgil: All knowledge is for good. Only the use to which you put it can be good or evil."

"[first lines] Title Card: North America, 2670 A.D. The Lawgiver: In the beginning God created beast and man so that both might live in friendship and share dominion over a world of peace. But in the fullness of time evil men betrayed God's trust and in disobedience to His holy word waged bloody wars, not only against their own kind, but against the apes, whom they reduced to slavery. Then God in his wrath sent the world a saviour, miraculously born of two apes who descended on Earth from Earth's own future and man was afraid for both parent apes possessed the power of speech"
