Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
I've only watched the musical from the Simpsons.
Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius...
Can i play the piano anymore?
Of course you can!
I couldn't before!
🎶 I was wrong. It was Earth all along. 🎶
Yes, you finally made a monkey out of meeeee!!!
I always thought that was silly. How did it stay so intact?
No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.
Oh, kinda like Mt Rushmore. Nature truly is remarkable.
Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?
Suck! Suck! Suck!
She's gone from suck to blow
That's an even better line. Very nice
Oh shit, there goes the planet.
Fr*nch sent them one, duh
It's actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.
It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.
Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.
Just a coincidence, it was actually shaped by erosion
That’s the ocean after global warming. They're really in Las Vegas.
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.
I mean copper is an expensive metal these days. Probably make mint selling Lady Liberty for scrap.
Unfortunately she’s hollow, like a shitty chocolate easter bunny.
🎵Oh my God, you're so wrong.
It was Earth, all along.🎵
I love you, doctor Zauis!
Everyone forgets that the planet of apes is actually las vegas, if the camera where to go a little more to the left we would see a eiffel tower as well
These themed hotels are getting out of hand
GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.
For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.
More confusing is how it ended up next to cliffs on a shore line when it lives in a marshland enviroment
She may have just walked there, as seen in the documentary Ghostbusters 2.
So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.
You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.
Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
I haven't read the book, but that makes this even funnier to me. Lol
Will add that to my list.
Sold to aliens for scrap by a bankrupt country (for 10 hamburgers, which is approximately 10 hamburgers in todays hamburgers).
Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship
This is either satirical or the biggest WHOOSH I've seen so far this year.
What they don't explain is how everything else is gone, and even the entire coastline is different, but somehow the upper half of that particular copper statue has somehow survived
It turns out, that on their planet, the apes have made an exact replica of the statue of liberty
*ding*
A wizard did it.
The bigger plot hole is that this is not consistent with any global warming or giant earthquake. Rising sea levels would not have a beach and rocky formation right next to statue of liberty. And a crazy violent earthquake that would move land and rock well above the statue of liberty and right next to it, would have knocked the statue over.
No tracking
I hate.. Every ape I see, from chimpan-a to chimpanzee, you'll never make a monkey out of meee.
