He helps again when they catch up to Joe and the others while their trying to help some children get out of a burning orphanage. One cop tried to shoot at Joe ([[WhatTheHellHero which was really stupid of him because it was obvious, he was helping some children escape a burning building]]) but O'Hara grabbed at the gun before he could fire.

* Like Ray Harryhausen before them, the special effects team in the remake did nothing short of astounding work. Almost all of Joe's appearances on screen were done by an extremely lifelike animatronic and suit, which are often regarded as the best practical ape in film even two decades later. The [=CGI=] Joe, while more sparingly used, also holds up very well and holds regard. Unlike the scaly dinosaurs of ''Film/JurassicPark'', the effects teams had to make Joe's hairy body look real in 1998 and pulled it off wonderfully.
