Trivia
Matt Reeves also pointed out that the apes in Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) don't wear clothing. The ape society seen in Planet of the Apes (1968) wears clothing, and Bad Ape is also supposed to be the start of a progression in this direction. To survive in a harsh winter, he wears heavy winter coats he scavenged. This is primarily assisted by the fact that he is bald, similarly to Rocket. However, while Rocket likely has Alopecia, Bad Ape seems to have lost his hair from old age.

Goofs
When Caesar scans the camp with the binoculars, Luca asks in sign language if he's spotted the Colonel. Caesar responds despite the fact that he is looking through binoculars and couldn't have seen Luca signing.

Quotes
Caesar: I did not start this war. I offered you peace. I showed you mercy. But now you're here. To finish us off... for good.

Crazy credits
The 20th Century Fox fanfare is played through the use of Congo drums instead of the traditional percussion instruments.

Reviews divided between racist eggheads and intelligent people

I was pleasantly surprised by War for the Planet of the Apes. The plot,character development and script are impressive. The acting by everyone but Woody is stellar.Woody's acting left something to be desired,hence the 8 stars instead of ten.I thought Woody phoned it in and I KNOW he could do better. The story continues the saga of Caesar and his followers and friends on their mission to ensure their survival.I understand why racists and egghead Trump voters would hate this movie but its too bad for them.This third installment of the Planet of the Apes left the second installment in the dust.It's a near masterpiece.
