Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Under Goofs, these are all opinions.
its been pointed out the opinions are not allowed.
Although Cornelius and Zira were indicted for heresy in Planet of the Apes (1968), there is no mention of this fact in the film. Since the events of the first film, they have gone from being enemies of Dr. Zaius to trusted colleagues without explanation.After destroying the cave in the first movie, Zaius may have had a change of heart and pardoned the couple in exchange for the promise of keeping their knowledge of their true history a secret from the ape population.
When the Apes are faced with visions of fire, a statue of their Lawgiver bleeding, and their eleven missing soldiers being crucified, Dr. Zaius urges Ursus to shoot the suffering captives. Ursus resists, stating that the Lawgiver has forbidden Ape to kill one another. However, later on in the first film, Zaius warned Cornelius and Zira they could hang for high treason.Ursus was hesitant to shoot "innocent" apes, even if it was intended for humane reasons. This is different from apes being executed for committing serious crimes.
Just before Taylor disappears in the Forbidden Zone, he tells Nova to "Try to find Zira." Why send her back to Ape City in an attempt to look for Zira? She could risk being recaptured by the apes, or even worse, exterminated. Not to mention they've pretty much become fugitives. Taylor should also know, based on what he went through previously, that this isn't a good idea.Taylor was confident that if Nova ended up recaptured, Zira would take care of her, which would be preferable to dying in the Forbidden Zone.
Taylor gives his dog tags to Nova. In Planet of the Apes (1968), he does not have dog tags when he is captured by the apes, or when he rides off at the end of the film. There is nowhere he would have gotten them since his ship sank and his supplies and clothes were destroyed by the indigenous humans. Even if he had somehow brought his dog tags along, they would have been confiscated by the ape council at his "trial".Taylor was originally captured wearing the remnants of his uniform, in which he could've placed his dog tags within, having recovered them among their trail of stolen possessions, then Zira finding them sometime later, returning them to Taylor off-camera before they arrived at the seaside cave.
