When Leo is carrying Ari across the river she scratches him on the neck. For the rest of the movie the scratch changes sides and sometimes disappears completely. See more...
In order to star in the film, Tim Roth had to decline the role of Professor Severus Snape in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (2001). That role was eventually given to Alan Rickman. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
Towards the end of the movie when we see the remains of the Space Station we are led to believe that it has crashed into the Planet with the thrusters sticking out of the ground at a particular angle. How is it that when they all enter the remains everything's perfectly upright? [It's not perfectly upright. The interior is also canted to one side.]

In the pod towards the end, one of the computer displays reads "Delta Pod." "Delta" was the pod that he was piloting in the beginning of the film which got destroyed. This craft, however, was the one initially piloted by his trained monkey, and was designated "Alpha Pod." [We see the display six times after he launches at the end: When he's approaching the storm, a closeup of the timer counting backwards, as he passes Saturn, twice when he's entering Earth's atmosphere, and the landing gear warning. In all six instances, it reads "Alpha Pod."]

At the end, after the pilot kisses the blonde girl, she runs off into the hills. When he runs back to the pod, and takes off, she's underneath him waving with the others. [They kiss, she turns and runs a few steps, then the camera cuts away and we don't see her again until the ship launches. She doesn't run to any hills. Caught up in the emotions, she obviously starts to run, then reconsiders and returns to stand with the group to see him off.]

In one scene, one of the apes is drinking a drink with ice in it. For a society that lives in a hot steamy jungle and has very little modern technology, where did they get an ice maker? [Probably the same way our forbearing relatives got ice. They either had snow and ice delivered from colder climate, storing it in iceboxes until needed. This was done as far back as Roman times. Alternatively, they were fairly developed and it's probable they had scientists.]
Leo was on the Planet for a few days or so and I'm pretty sure he wasn't fully equipped with a razor so how did that face of his stay so clean and clear of razor stubble? [Not every male has to shave everyday. Myself, at 40 years old, only needs to shave 3 times a week. Some guys are simply less hairy than others.]
It's not only in this movie, but I thought, what better place to point it out. In all movies set in a far-off place or in the past, how come the women always have lipstick on? [People have been decorating their faces for thousands of years, using berries and plant dyes. It's not unreasonable to think that this could occur elsewhere as well.]
Attar is a member of a religion thousands of years old, but in about five seconds he buys in to the fact that Leo is telling the truth? How did someone so impressionable get to his position? Yikes. [This is not a movie mistake, this is just a character flaw in Attar. Plenty of gullible people make it into high office.]
Towards the end of the film, the hero is getting ready to get in the space pod and he gets distracted. He places his helmet on the seat and goes off to sort it out. Afterwards, he runs back to the pod, jumps in, and there's no helmet on the seat. [Remember the slave trader was selling aspirin to the ape children, he probably stole the helmet as a authentic artifact of the second coming of Semos.]
The apes on the starship killed all of its human crew members, so how did humans appear on the planet? [I don't think they did kill everyone, just most people - presumably some escaped into the surrounding area].
