Spotted this in the 'Goofs' section


"In the scene where the monkey gets infected by the alien and starts typing, the keys he presses do not match what he is writing."

Um, no s_h_i_t, it's a friggin' *monkey*. They may be smart, but not smart enough to actually type something meaningful.

"Spock is the shiz-nit!"

A smart director would've realized this problem and shown the monkey "typing" (but without showing the keyboard), then he would've shown fake monkey fingers typing the exact words that appear on the screen.

Not an animal trainer but I imagine it would be possible with enough prodding.....of course, really isn't worth it, because who's got so much time on their hands that they're going over the movie frame-by-frame to see if he typed it right?

Lmao, I was thinking the same thing. Who was the person with enough time on his hands to see if what the monkeys typed matched what was on the screen?
