An error keeps occurring for some reason, but it works fine on YouTube itself.

I bought a copy of the OG on VHS around 2000 kind of as a joke and ended up loving it. One of the best silly movies of all time.

YOU CUT UP HIS BRAIN, YOU BLOODY BABOON!!11!

To this day, I have a Planet of the Apes poster that I bought in college. My cat jumped up on my desk, looked at the picture and meowed at it. A couple hours later, I found out Charlton Heston was dead.

I also sometimes used to laugh about the thought of Heston being into NRA so deep because he wanted to be able to avoid the movie coming true

He doesn't realise he's been on Earth the whole time until the last moment.

I haven't seen that movie since I was about 8 years old, so I don't really remember it well, but it did bring me one of my favorite Simpsons moments.
