History Headscratchers / RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes

* As weak as this sounds...''Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2''?

**** Replace Caeser with a Pitbull, or even a German Shepard. Even after your kids are behind you, and the dog has taken a few steps backwards, you'd make sure it isn't just preparing to attack again. Now it's easy to know when a dog is terrified, look at the tail. This is a chimp, a creature far stronger than a dog or even a human. With your kids in danger and the animal still in your backyard you'd keep at it as well. He also didn't beat up Wills father, he was yelling at him and poking his chest at worst. Understandable considering one or both of his cars were damaged by a guy who might be drugged or drunk. And lastly, if if a strange, staggering bloody man was shuffling and screaming around my neighbors backyard I'd be damn sure to ask him what he's doing as well. The guy is really just protective of his kids, car and surprisingly, his neighbours house. I mean, he's an idiot for leaving his car unlocked, door open and keys in the ignition, but aside from that he's just a poor old ButtMonkey.

* The Italian localization translated the title of the movie as ''L'alba del pianeta delle scimmie'', which translates back to English as ''Dawn of the planets of the apes''. Then the title of the sequel was announced as... ''Dawn of the planets of the apes''. How are they going to translate it, if they want the audience to differentiate between this movie and the sequel?

* Apparently they weren't curbstomped, if this movie is a 'canon' prequel to the original Planet of the Apes.

** I think it goes even deeper than that. Jacobs gave something rather special to Koba, intelligence. And with that, Koba now has a much deeper and better understanding of what he been put through and why. So after his exposure, Koba now probably grasps, in broad strokes, what Jacobs is, and where Koba and his fellow apes fit in the big picture. Previously, Koba just would have perceived his existance as torturous yes, but also, confusing. Well, that confusion is now gone thanks to the ALZ-113, and yea, he 'gets it' now that Jacobs is the alpha-human and directly responsible for Kobas situation so, plenty of (now) intelligent rage to direct that way.

** Also when they bring Koba in the technicians note his grizzled features and warn one another to be careful with him, suggesting that there's something ''not quite right'' with Korba to begin with.

** Humans can, and regularly take several 9mm wounds to the chest and arms and keep going, sometimes without realizing they've been hit. It'd take some pretty massive rounds to stop a huge gorilla in it's tracks when it's blood is up. Think battle rifle rounds or bigger.

* How could no one in Gen-sys figure out that Bright Eyes was pregnant when she came in? Didn't anyone do a physical exam on her? I thought that a scientist would want to know everything about the experiment subject ''before'' he starts experimenting?

* The apes from the zoo weren't exposed to the 113 virus. How did ''they'' learn to use fence bars as javelins? Or understand Caesar's commands? Or do any of the other stuff that the super-apes were smart enough to do?

** The opening scenes of Caesars early years at home, clearly show Caesar using the bathroom in Wills house. The message is clear, Caesar is fully toilet-trained as any human and doest fling his poo around randomly.

** Jacobs was in charge of tests on Koba. Jacobs ordered them to accelerate experimentation on him because he was seeing the start of results. From what we hear f Koba, he's been a lab monkey for years and probably was so sick of experimentation that he decided to kill the man he most associated the tests with. Maybe that's why he was shown writing Jacobs' name...

* Is anyone else confused as to why Koba killed Jacobs? Maybe I just missed something, but I don't remember seeing them interact at all, so I don't get why Koba would hate Jacobs..
