15	!!The Franchise in general:
16
17	* BrokenBase: The timeline debates - was it an endless loop, or did history change, and which is preferable? The [[AmbiguousEnding ambiguously]] SurprisinglyHappyEnding of the fifth film is either a shocking betrayal of the brilliantly dark setting of the first film or the only thing that salvages the original franchise from falling victim to AngstAversion.
18	* CompleteMonster: See [[Monster/PlanetOfTheApes here]].
19	* ContestedSequel: The two remakes. The original sequels too, to a lesser extent.
20	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Creator/RicardoMontalban's character Armando in the third and fourth films.
21	* FanonDiscontinuity: Many deny that the sequels and/or remake exist. The reboot prequel series mostly managed to avert this, with ''Dawn'' and ''War'' in particular being seen as the only films to rival the original.
22	* MemeticMutation:
23	** "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!"
24	** '''YOU''' '''''MANIACS!''''' '''YOU BLEW IT UP!!!'''
25	** "A planet where APES evolved from MEN?!"
26	** "That is/is not Ape Law!"
27	* {{Sequelitis}}: Until ''Dawn'', no sequel had nearly as warm a reception as the original (''Rise'' coming the closest), with ''Battle'' at the bottom.
28
29	!!The Novel:
30
31	* AdaptationDisplacement: Few people (at least outside of France, and even then) are aware that the first film was an adaptation at all.
32
33	!!The TV Series:
34
35	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It was much more successful in Britain than at home (although it took until UsefulNotes/TheNineties for the series to get a network screening - in its initial run and repeats thereafter it was shown in every Creator/{{ITV}} region except STV (Scottish Television, in Central Scotland); Creator/Channel4 gave it its first UK-wide airing in the mid-90s, and both the series ''and'' the [[CompilationMovie Compilation Movies]] regularly turned up on cable TV).
36	* RetroactiveRecognition:
37	** Marc Singer played Dalton in "The Gladiators".
38	** Creator/JackieEarleHaley played Kraik in "The Legacy".
39	** James Naughton's younger brother David Naughton played Dr. Stole in "The Surgeon".
40	** Michael Conrad played Janor in "The Tyrant".
41	** Sondra Locke played Amy in "The Cure".
42	* SpecialEffectsFailure:
43	** In "The Good Seeds", when the chimpanzee Anto grabs a chicken, the actor Geoffrey Deuel's very human forearms can be seen.
44	** The blackened teeth of the actors playing apes can often be seen behind their prosthetics.
