Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Continuity: Ron's trailer starts out with British Columbia license plates but when they arrive in "Seattle" it's suddenly a Washington plate. Considering that Ron said he was driving all the way up to Nelson (which is in British Columbia), it seems highly unlikely he would switch license plates in between. more

AN Oscar FOR LOUIE!, 17 October 2004
10/10
Author: freddievalentine from United Kingdom

Most films featuring animals use them as a prop for the human actors, but in true Planet of the Apes style, the reverse is true here. The actors are functional, not great, but the real stars are the chimps whose range of facial expressions and expert comic timing shine above anyone else in the film. The chimps do all their own skateboarding stunts and are pretty good at it. There are two other films in the series featuring chimps doing extreme sports and they are great in everyone. But the real star here is Louie, who has a true gift for comedy and can act most of the over-paid, wooden, Hollywood heart throbs off the screen. But does he get any whiff of an Oscar nomination? Naaah! It's simian prejudice! Watching the out-takes and behind the scenes features, it is apparent that a lot of the funny moments are ad-libbed by Louie himself who truly is a talent. He is apparently starring in a big budget simian Bond-style film called SPYMATE where he uses all his skills and does his own stunt. Louie should really be in the Walk of Fame and wiping the board at the Oscars. All I can say, is check out his films to see an all-round master at work.
