Audio problem: When Zira and Cornelius return home discussing stuff, Zira begins making chocolate icing. As she makes the icing, she says "Gorillas are cruel because they're stupid." When she says "stupid", her lips never purse together on the "p" but that doesn't stop her from being able to say "stupid." (00:24:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: In the sauna, when the general says twelve of his finest scouts vanished and Zaius corrects him by telling him it was eleven, there are visible steam clouds around them. The general then stands up, and the steam cloud around them has suddenly vanished. Some steam is still visible, but the steam around the two has definitely vanished. (00:22:25)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Zaius and the general are in the sauna, as Zaius says "Well, General. I only pray you know what you're doing" and the general says "How can you have any doubt, Dr. Zaius", Zaius' hands are on his lap. Next shot, his right hand is suddenly placed on his face. (00:22:00)

Continuity mistake: Taylor walks over to the stone wall and tries to hit it with the rifle. In the close-up, as he aims the rifle at the stone wall, you can see his left hand is wrapped around the butt of the rifle. Between this shot and the next shot, Taylor's hand switches which side of the rifle butt it is holding. (00:11:40)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: In a flashback sequence of Taylor and Nova, Taylor is trying to get Nova to say her name. In the shot where he is gesturing the word "Nova" with his lips and repeating the name, the end of this shot shows a strand of hair flying over Nova's face and her hair is blowing backwards. In the next shot, the hair strand is gone and her hair is blowing forwards. (00:11:30)

Casual Person

Plot hole: Brent discovers that Taylor is on the planet and has a connection to Nova through the dog tags she is wearing. However, throughout the first movie, Taylor never had any dog tags on his person. Also, his ship was destroyed, and he only managed to retrieve a life raft and supplies. His belongings and clothing were taken from him when he was apprehended by the apes. Taylor should never have had any dog tags to give to Nova or for Brent to discover. (00:11:10)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Brent and Nova first meet, in the reverse angle where Brent says "Don't be afraid. Just tell me where I am", his shovel is shown to be slanted to the right. In the next shot, the shovel is suddenly mostly level. (00:10:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: As Nova approaches the wreckage of the ship, Brent is shown hiding and holding the shovel in his hand. In the wide angle, the shovel is held almost up to Brent's chin, but in the sudden close-up of Brent, the shovel is suddenly lowered with no time to do so. (00:09:55)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Brent hears a horse in the distance, he goes to take cover behind the wreckage of the ship. In the mid-shot from the side, Brent looks over the ship and just to the left of the huge tear in the ship is some sort of scratching in the ship's paint. In the previous shot, as Brent ran over to the ship for cover, the scratching marks were never there. (00:09:30)

Casual Person

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
