Did you just infer that he's as dumb as an Ape?:eek:

Caesar with the Statue of Liberty.
The mounted police with the numbers on their helmets on the bridge, (the corn field sequence of the original).
The fire hose scene with Caesar in the animal shelter.
The circus orangutan was named Maurice, the actor who played Dr. Zauis was Maurice Evans in the original.
The nice, weakling keeper at the shelter was named Rodney, Rodney "Roddy" McDowell was a huge player in the original series.
"It's a madhouse! A madhouse!" was another line along with the dirty ape line from Hestons character in the original.
And "No" being the first word is also connected to the original storyline/series.

Told you I was a fanboy.

There are more but I will rein in my geekyness. For now.

I caught almost all of these along with the ones Tony mentioned already with the exception of:

Dodge Landon - I knew the orginal male astronauts that were with Taylor were named Dodge and Landon but I never caught that Malfoy's character was named Dodge Landon. I don't remember hearing either his or his dad's name at all.

Rodney - I never caught the weaker / nicer dude's name at the shelter either.

The mounted police / cornfield reference. I had a passing thought when Ceasar was on the horse about the apes riding horses in the original series but that was it.

Your "No" reference I believe was discussed in the 3rd movie (Escape). I think Cornelius was describing what started the whole thing. Either that or it was discussed in the 4th movie (Conquest). But I am going with the 3rd.

Please don't stop your geekyness yet. What are the other references?

I don't know, those apes were damn smart.
Props to Rich for catching far more nods to previous movies than I.

I did nothing of the sort good sir! I was impressed with his knowledge of POTA lore. I just wonder if he can do that Lucas Hanoi Tower Puzzle in 15 moves.

I will add a few more tomorrow. I have a friend who is as big a geek as I am who I have been going back and forth with trying to one up each other on catching references. (Wow, lot of "I"s in those two sentences)

I will add some of the ones for sure and some that we have kind of reached for. I am going to see this again on Weds. to actively look for more.

I am such a geek.

Oh yeah and on this one, it was a major argument between my friend and I. I was positive it was only connected to Escape, in the story told by Cornelius about the rise of the apes. My friend told me I was wrong and that it was also in Conquest. I called him all kinds of names and told him how silly and misinformed he was.

I watched Conquest again and he was right, it is in there as well. Crow actually doesn't taste that bad.

So you're right on both counts, it touches on references from both "Escape" and "Conquest".

We finally saw this! I loved it! My son pointed out about the newspaper headline about "Lost in Space" and I didn't understand him until we were out in the car and he mentioned it again. They left this one wide open to make a sequel and it should flow perfectly.

I caught all but three of these on my first viewing (before I found this article). There are others that aren't listed here, a couple of which were mentioned earlier.
