Wasn't one of caged apes named Zira?
I don't recall any of the apes being called Zira, but one female was named Cornelia.Wasn't one of caged apes named Zira?
Maybe I was mistaken, I just remembered that the camera lingered on the name, and thought it looked familiar! It's been awhile since I saw the Originals and now that I've seen this version, I'm inclined to go watch the Originals again!I don't recall any of the apes being called Zira, but one female was named Cornelia.
Just wondering how the Apes are going to survive their first winter in N. California.
I wonder why this scene got deleted? Caesar's love interest perhaps?
I wondered about the same thing, even went to see the movie again to see if I had just missed the scene somehow.
After some thought, it made sense to leave that out of the movie. This way, when Caesar goes to the lab it isn't seen as a selfish act, saving his mate, but for liberating all the apes there.
Really loved the easter eggs and homages to the original series.
-The opening scene in the jungle looked very similar to the scene where Taylor and his crew encounter the apes for the first time and are hunted down.
- The use of "Bright eyes" as the name of Ceasars mother.
- The Icarus launch along with the "Lost in Space" nespaper headline.
- "Dodge" and "Landon"
- Ceasar playing with the statue of liberty.
- The urangutan's name was Maurice (Possibly an homage to Maurice Evans who played Dr. Zaius)
-Another ape was called "Cornellia"
- The line "Get your Stinking paws off me....."
- The Line "It's a mad house, A MAD HOUSE!"
- Heston's cameo on the TV.
Don't know if this was an homage to King Kong, but I thopught that the gorilla taking down the only flying vehicle (and getting shot) was a bit ironic.
I also think I spotted that one guy watching a scene from the original Mighty Joe Young on TV.
Any others?

Did anyone else notice that Ceasar's birthmark moves from one side of his chest as a baby, to the other side as an adult?
I actually found that Ceasars face reminded me a little of tim roths makeup from Tim Burtons POS planet of the apes remake.
