Continuity mistake: When the Apes are trying to break into the mutant's church, Mendez looks towards the Alpha/Omega bomb, and is wearing a cream-colored jumpsuit with a purple sash. When the Apes do break in, his sash has disappeared. (01:25:50)

Other mistake: As Taylor is dying, there is blood on his hand. When his hand lands on the bomb's detonator after he dies, his hand slides off, but no blood is shown on the detonator. (01:29:35)

Casual Person

Deliberate mistake: There are no lights ever to be found in the underground world and the ceiling is literally the surface's ground, but there is still a perfect level of lighting regardless.

Casual Person

Other mistake: Near the beginning Taylor gives Nova his dog tags. Where did he have these during the whole first movie that they were never found, and why would he have hidden them?

Revealing mistake: Linda Harrison's metallic dental implant is rather noticeably visible during her closeup on her signature line, "Taylor!"

TonyPH

Other mistake: As Taylor realises what man did in the years from his leaving until his return, he is slamming his fist on the dirt screaming "Damn you all to hell." In the first Apes movie, he didn't give this final line until he was amid the surf waters, but here the water was a couple feet from him.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: The opening is a repeat of the ending of the first Apes movie. In the dialogue between Zaius and Taylor, Taylor turns the horse toward Cornelius twice.

Movie Nut

Cornelius: If you are caught by the gorillas, you must remember one thing.
John Brent: What's that?
Cornelius: Never to speak.
John Brent: What the hell would I have to say to a gorilla?

Question: When Taylor investigated the rocks, he aims the butt of his rifle at the rocks and then he fades through the rocks and he vanishes. What exactly was the cliff he fell through? Was it a hologram or a mirage or something?

Casual Person

Chosen answer: The mutated humans (the ones with the bomb) have telekinetic powers and projected the image into Taylor's mind, the same way they did with the fire with the apes.
