Not surprisingly, the film was very popular with black audiences in 1972

Yes, most of the dystopian movies of the 60's and early 70's were not-so-subtle commentary of the issues of the day...Silent Running, Soylent Green, Rollerball, Death Race 2000, Logan's Run, and yes the Planet of the Apes series.



Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

There was not one civil rights leader in this film nor were there any ape matters protests

What would a reboot look like then? The apes integrating then violently attacking the humans at every chance as well as committing crimes at record pace?
