Did you know
- TriviaRichard was the ape that got clubbed to death by "Moonwatcher - leader of the tribe that had learned how to kill". "He was history's first murder victim". Richard was also used in most of the close-up shots because he already wore regular contact lenses and was able to tolerate the large brown contacts that MGM supplied without his eyes streaming with tears and being horribly red.
The only other ape to get killed in the movie was Terry Duggan. He played the ape that gets jumped on by the leopard and was also its trainer in real life. Although it looks extremely violent, they were only playing. The Leopard was actually muzzled for that shot just in case he decided to get a bit too realistic with his trainer.
