According to Eddie Murphy, it’s The Wizard of Oz. DOR (HK) (talk) 02:15, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Source? Let me google ... found a video, not posting it here ... in an episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Murphy compared the story structure and (spoiler warning for 52 year old film) and notes that they were home the whole time. Interesting comment but I think it would be undue to mention it in an encyclopedia article. Also there are only seven stories. -- 109.78.196.165 (talk) 18:50, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can someone request that this and other POTA pages be places under protection. There is an IP editor who keeps changing character names, based on what I do not know. I would do it myself but don't really know how. Thanks! SonOfThornhill (talk) 15:01, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think they have stopped now, but in the future you can request for page protection at WP:RPP. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:52, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. This person has stopped before but came back. SonOfThornhill (talk) 13:07, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Third paragraph of the lead claims that PotA is "the longest-running science-fiction film series in history" which just isn't true, unless it involves an obscure qualifier that discounts Godzilla (which predates the first movie by 14 years) at the very least. The sentence has a citation, but the linked article is just a listicle of the Apes movies with no source for the claim, or for the other claim in the same line about the franchise grossing $2 billion. 144.121.150.162 (talk) 15:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw it and it is a questionable claim. Probably should be eliminated. SonOfThornhill (talk) 15:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Budget column doesn't seem to add up, does it? I get at most (given the premature addition for Kingdom) $692M versus the $852M in the table. SquashEngineer (talk) 13:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a clarifying detail in the (Reboot film series > Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)) section. Context: Caesar gains enhanced cognition in utero, as his mother is who received the viral drug, not him, directly.

In the first sentence of the second paragraph, please change "In the final script, Caesar receives enhanced cognition from a viral drug created by Will Rodman, who raises him. After being imprisoned in an ape sanctuary, Caesar uses his ingenuity to launch an uprising" to: "In the final script, Caesar receives enhanced cognition in-utero from an experimental drug administered to his mother and is then raised by Will Rodman, the creator of the drug." or similar.

Ah! I had received the first wall and didn't seem like I could pass it for some reason. Thank you very much. The edit has been made. Dzy4shzy (talk) 21:11, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
