Trivia

In the film (set in 1991), the apes were enslaved after a new plague wiped out all of the Earth's cats and dogs a decade earlier before the events portrayed. In 1978, six years after the film's release, there was a worldwide pandemic of canine papillomavirus (a disease not known until then) that killed several thousands of dogs. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: In the almost 20 years since Escape from the Planet of the Apes, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans have evolved to a perfectly humanistic form, a feat that would take thousands of years, not just one generation. See more »
