3	* When [[PropheticNames Caesar]], the main ape, fights back against his abusive animal control handler, the handler responds by shouting "Take your stinkin' paw off me, you damn dirty ape!" What most people ''don't'' catch is in both films, the line is uttered in roughly equivalent scenes with a captive CivilizedAnimal (Creator/CharltonHeston's Taylor in the original, and Caesar in the prequel) attacking the captors that had abused him, and in both cases the line triggers the "Holy shit, [[YouCanTalk it can talk!]]" moment for the captors, Charlton Heston uttering the actual line, and Caesar responding to the line with a startlingly assertive [[BigNo "NO!"]].
4	** The handler previously also says of the facility, "It's a madhouse! A madhouse!", a line Taylor speaks as the apes use a pressurized water hose on him.
5	** "No" was also said to be the first word ever spoken by an ape in ''Film/EscapeFromThePlanetOfTheApes'', and was used again as the first word another ape has ever said in ''Film/ConquestOfThePlanetOfTheApes''.
6	* The abuse Caesar suffered in captivity also mirrors that suffered by Heston.
7	** In the original Heston escapes and attacks an ape, and is confiscated by the ape Ministry of Science, to the protest of Heston's owner, [[MotherlyScientist Dr. Zira]] who knows Heston is intelligent. In the prequel Caesar escapes and attacks a human, and is confiscated by Animal Control, to the protest of Caesar's owner [[FatherlyScientist Dr. Rodman]] who knows Caesar is intelligent.
8	** In the original, Heston is attacked by one of the mute animal humans which results in a fight, and subsequently Heston is locked to an individual cell. In the prequel, Caesar is attacked by one of the regular apes which results in a fight, and subsequently Caesar is locked to an individual cell.
9	** In the original, the Ministry of Science handler attacks Heston with a firehose jammed through the bars of his cell when he becomes belligerent. In the prequel, the Animal Control handler attacks Caesar with a fire hose jammed through the bars of his cell when he becomes belligerent.
10	** In both the original and this film, the caged main character lures a member of the dominant species (Zira and one of Dodge's friends) to get closer so he can steal an object that he can use to escape (a piece of paper and a pocket knife).
11	* Caesar's mother, the first ape given the [[AppliedPhlebotinum intelligence-boosting drug]] is given the name Bright Eyes. This is the same name that Dr. Zira gives to Heston's character before he writes her a note explaining that his name is really "Taylor".
12	** [[ContinuityPorn Caesar is named after the ape leader in the last two sequels; Rodney the primate caretaker and Caesar's owner Will Rodman are named after ''Apes'' franchise actor Roddy McDowall and the writer of the original's first draft, Rod Serling; the orangutan is named Maurice, after Maurice Evans who played the orangutan Dr. Zaius in the original; Dodge Landon is named after Taylor's two companions in the original; Jacobs is named after the producer of the original Arthur P. Jacobs; the gorilla is named Buck, after Buck Kartalian who played gorillas in the franchise; and Caroline's last name was originally Stewart like the female astronaut in the first film]] (but [[RaceLift was changed]] when Freida Pinto was cast in the role).
13	* Though ''Rise of the Planet of the Apes'' takes place in San Francisco, towards the end, Dr. Rodman's {{Jerkass}} neighbor Hunsiker is revealed to be an airline pilot and starts showing symptoms of being infected with the ALZ-virus while at the airport. The scene ends with a closeup on a flight call for New York City, then segues into a credits scene revealing that Hunsiker's flight is headed for France, the country of the [[Literature/PlanetOfTheApes original novel]].
14	* A news broadcast tells of a lost manned space mission called the Icarus 1, lead by a Colonel Taylor...
15	* The manned space mission to another world, clearly meant to evoke the lost astronauts from the classic film. Probably a SequelHook to this movie to have this series follow the original.
16	* Caesar is seen working on a 3-D puzzle of the Statue of Liberty.
17	* Caesar is designed to resemble Roddy [=McDowall's=] Cornelius and Caesar makeup from the original series.
18	* Films starring Charlton Heston appear on the televisions at the ape prison.
19	* The start of the movie with the poachers hunting the wild chimp troop is similar to the human-hunting scene from the original movie (albeit done in a way that also echoes how poachers hunt chimps in RealLife).
20	* The main guard in charge of the animal pound sounding like Creator/PaulGiamatti is a reference to his role in Creator/TimBurton's 2001 {{remake}} of ''Film/{{Planet of the Apes\|2001}}'', in which he played a orangutan that dealt in human trafficking.
21	* Part of Caesar's plan for getting through the police blockade involves him [[spoiler:riding a horse]].
22	* Dodge Landon's laugh while mocking the apes is similar to Charlton Heston's laughing at Dodge trying to mark their territory with an American flag.
23	* The number in ALZ-113 refers to the runtime of ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968''.
24	* Maurice has a circus background like Caesar of the original film series.
