Revealing mistake: When the apes jump out of the lab windows out to the street, they don't cast a shadow on any of the glass except the ones on the ground floor.
Revealing mistake: When Will's dad's Alzheimer boosts and he smashes the car driving in reverse, the headlight of the car behind is blatantly loose to increase the drama of the crash.
Continuity mistake: In the scene on the Golden Gate Bridge when the apes are pushing the bus, the police shoot the bus numerous times, but when the camera goes off the bus and then shows the bus again (twice) the bullet holes are not there anymore.
Dodge Landon: Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!
Trivia: Bright Eyes is what they called Caesar's mom in this movie. This was also the name given to Charlton Heston by Dr. Zira in the original movie Planet of the Apes (another tribute to the old film).
Question: Did they give John Lithgow's character Alzheimer's disease in remembrance of Charlton Heston?

Chosen answer: No they most certainly did not. That wouldn't remotely be considered a particularly respectful homage! They picked Alzheimers because it's specifically a brain condition, which can then be explored in the movie as a plausible way of explaining the intelligence raising properties of the drug used.
