Talk: Planet of the Apes (1968 film)/RfC archive
On the side panel Micheal Jackson is listed as having appeared in the film--truth or malicious editing? (unsigned)
In the 4th paragraph, the claim of "gaining $2.00 at the international box office" also seems questionable. (unsigned)
I wonder if the five movie story arc consistently occurs in the same universe, or whether the first film indeed does occur on an alternate Earth, with a space agency called ANSA (note the astronauts uniforms), human FTL travel in the late sixties/early seventies, and different New York shoreline geography (as Taylor finds the ruined Statue of Liberty adjacent to a rock formation that must have taken far longer to form than a mere two millenia?)

Does anybody think that the "Cultural Impact" section is too long?— Ultor_Solis ( talk • contribs) 16:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
All five movies are Sci-Fi Loop: the space ship goes forward into a rip in space time. When the second space-ship also goes forward these two events culminate in the nuclear explosion of planet earth. The orginial space ship with three apes aboard manage to leave earth just as the nuclear explosion propels the ship even further backward in time. The two surviving apes father the leader of the ape revolution which leads to the battle of the apes and the seperation of apes above and humans become two species-the mutes above and the mutants below-until the first space ship crash's on earth..and the process begins all over again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.53.145.163 ( talk) 01:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
If we accept the dates given by the movies then they happen in at least two perhaps three different timelines.
So have have 3978, 3955, and 3950 timelines and only two of those (3955 and 3950) do we know resulted in the Earth being blown up. It is more a time spiral rather then a time loop.-- 2606:A000:7D44:100:A5DB:8383:D5F4:C04C ( talk) 20:04, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

It says: "They flee to the Forbidden Zone, where Cornelius (an archeologist) had, a year earlier, discovered a cave with artifacts of human technology."

I've created a page for Nova, which can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_%28Planet_of_the_Apes%29 but I'm having a hard time linking articles to it and getting it on the Nova disambiguation page. Anyone able to help? Callum J. Stewart 09:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
The last scene relates to a Family Guy episode where Mayor Adam West talks about the Statue of Liberty being destroyed when Peter gets it's foot. Can anybody put that in? (unsigned)
When Taylor is running through the Human museum, he hides behind one of the "mannequins" while being chased. There's a close shot of the figure, and I could have sworn I saw its eye twitch! Was this intentional? Any trivia out there regarding the man who played this part? The opaque contact lenses he was wearing would be really uncomfortable in the late 60s level of technology, I would think!

There is simply no suggestion in the film that dodge was stuffed because of his skin color. That was written into the novelization I believe but I do not recall it being mentioned in the movie.-- Amadscientist 11:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
To bring this article up to standards per wikipedia Project Film style guide lines I have begun making changes to the article.
I have rewritten the lead in section removing information about the plot. I added several actor names. I discuss notable references from the production like writing the script as well as awards and being the first film franchise, and most important made it at least two paragraphs long.
I have also completely removed the References in pop culture section as this is not note worthy. If it is to be included at all it needs to be written into well worded prose. Or moved to a new page. Discuss if this upsets anyone. New section will be added soon. I apologise in advance if this upsets any editors but this article is very "listy".
Still needed to be done;
Add production section.
Remove trivia section by incorporating information into the body of the article. (much of it can go into the new production section)
Remove laundry lists by writing as prose. A good two thirds of this article is just lists. Tsk Tsk. Not encyclopedic (That's part joke-part serious)
Add referenced sources. This article is the only article I have seen on Wikipedia with absolutely NO references. What's up with that?-- Amadscientist 10:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC) I'm going to add back the thing that Boulle said he wished he'd thought of serling's ending, so don't ban me.```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.60.7 ( talk) 22:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Long lists of largely trivial references in pop culture are not encouraged on Wiki. This one was huge and really trivial. It is enough to state that the film is heavily referenced - we do not and should not attempt an exhaustive list of examples.
I have trimmed the section considerably.
People may feel that one or too really notable examples (to illustrate the sort of refs that are often made) might be useful - if so feel free to reinstate a couple.
I believe the list as it existed was swamping the article and distorting the focus of the text. Who really cares if one more relatively obscure TV show makes yet another gag along the lines of "get your damned paws off me..."?
The film is one of the most quoted and influential of all time - this article is about the film - not about a million and one computer games, TV episodes and sraight to video movies that make references to it.
That's just my opinion, of course - but it would appear to be in line with Wiki policy on Popular Culture references.

Director Rupert Wyatt commented on the originality of the plot: "This is part of the mythology and it should be seen as that. It's not a continuation of the other films; it's an original story.

This film has some elements of science fiction but the film is mostly a fantasy film. The film attempts to explain the plot from a standpoint of science fiction but it does not, the story is fantasy. It's like saying Harry Potter or Star Wars is science fiction, in the case of Star Wars, it has elements of science fiction, but the film is primarily based on a fantasy story.

The unnamed contributor needs to read up on the definitions of genres. It is commonly accepted that stories based (however fantastically) on scientific explanations (no matter how implausible) are deemed SF. Where there is no attempt at a scientific rational, or magic or supernatural forces prevail - that is Fantasy. It becomes difficult where the two genres merge (as they often do) and there certainly is some justification for seeing Fantasy elements in Star Wars (eg "The Force"). However, you would still need a source to back up a claim that Star Wars is Fantasy and not SF - you cannot relabel what is the common prevailing opinion in all sources just on the basis of your own opinion - that is Original Research and is specifically banned on Wiki.
Planet of the Apes entirely relies on SF explanations! There is no Fantasy element whatsoever, no matter how far fetched you think the stories are. It is all about evolution, space/time travel and so on - core SF tropes. Please leave the genre alone as it will be reverted every time! Daisyabigael ( talk) 13:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Whilst noting that WP has a ruling on UK/US English - the spelling "artefacts" appears as an accepted alternative in US dictionaries online. The editing of this spelling was pointless and petty.

I was disappointed to find no mention of Michael Wilson in the story of how the film got made. His role is interesting because he had been blacklisted during the McCarthy era. In film's story, with the suppression of the planet's history, was often seen as a metaphor for the McCarthy era, as was the final dramatic shot of the statue of Liberty. It seems to me he should get more mention. — MiguelMunoz ( talk) 02:45, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Should some concept art also be included in the article in the production section to make it more informative?

Not sure this would need to be in the article here, but thought it is worth at least noting in the talk page.
Cameos - Charlton Heston appears (uncredited) as Zaius (a reference to the character of Doctor Zaius), the chimp General's father. - Linda Harrison as a woman in the cart. I do not remember which woman in that scene specifically, would have to watch the remake again to see.
Lines - Michael Clarke Duncan's character utters a version of Taylor's originally famous line "Get your hands off me, you damn dirty ape!", adjusted to "... damn dirty human!" - Charlton Heston's character Zaius, on his death bed, utters one of Taylor's famous lines, "Damn them! Damn them all to hell!"
There is also a POTA/Zaius reference in the movie "Josie and the Pussycats" (don't judge, it was late, and I was tired and bored).
