The legal scene from Planet of the Apes

[JayKaySpliff]

Is he man? is he a deviant? or uh...a freak of nature

[Edam3000]

One of my favourite scenes of the movie :)

It always creeped me out, that his friend had been operated on, and the other was stuffed!

@thelostism This can only be seen in the widescreen format.

As a kid, I saw this on TV, and could never see all three.

Absolutely brilliant image, lost for so long a time.

This is what happens, when humanity destroys civilization via nuclear devices, and our hominid cousins fill that gap...

[zytigon]

All members of Hominidae except humans have 24 pairs of chromosomes. Humans have only 23 pairs of chromosomes. Human chromosome 2 is widely accepted to be a result of an end-to-end fusion of two ancestral chromosomes.see youtube video Bonobill, "evidence of common ancestry, Human chromosome 2", Also Pariskillton: Ken Miller, ' How to shut up pesky creationists' . Richard Dawkins ,' The greatest show on earth', PZ Meyers, Truth-saves. & Wikipedia

I hope I'm not the only one who sympathizes with Dr. Zaius more....

[nerfproplayer]

[constantini82]

3 persons are dogmatics..

[zombiefan011]

I've can't but feel this was a least partially intended as a big middle finger to creationism

[caporalchef4]

@zombiefan011 Same here!

[constantini82]

@zombiefan011 i think so too

[lawful0rebel0lion]

ha! the British court system i guess. love the see no, hear, no speak no too lol

[WoWrofllolz]

dr zaius dr zaius!

[shahideurope]

Hmm the proceedings are similar to Dredd Scott v Sandford. The slave Dred Scott was black and therefore had no rights under American law.

[dlanda555]

i love your dr.zauis :D

[generaljive]

@thelostism That's an excellent observation, I thought I was the only person that noticed that.

[cscentrlTV]

@generaljive - You're not alone. :)

[BstFrndDominiQ]

Corrupt court systems?... I like it!

[Leatherbubba]

Two people have been in ape court.

[cutis1000]

This is a terrific scene set up and written by Rod Serling. In it, he effectively gives the audience a lesson about law and the legal system. And it's done all within the viewfinder of entertainment. Brilliant!

[EATINmaPIE]

thumbs up if u actually watched all the originals before you went out and watched rise of the planet of the apes :)

[melosebrainuhoh]

These apes would fit in wonderfully in the American south.

[TheRationReviewer]

@melosebrainuhoh I'm the south and I take offense to that.

[TheRationReviewer]

@TheRationReviewer I'm FROM the south* sorry, typo.

[mitomke]

orangutans are sort of like a cross between repubs and greenies, dumb and dumber

[Spartacus217]

From Ph.D in astrophysics to 'which way did he go George, which way did he go?'

[Fireball69]

a chilling scene, one of my favorites
