Technically, neither the original nor the two subsequent remakes had any real monkeys in it. And to be even more precise, chimpanzees and gorillas are NOT monkeys. But you already knew that.

I don't need to remind you or your partner of what happen to those in the movie that used that highly offensive term.

Give Herzog a cast of a thousand monkeys and he could make a better movie than anyone else with any number of humans.

@TSW: If it were up to me, you would win Comment of the Week for that comment. In perpetuity.

Yeah, but she said the same thing about "Last Year at Marienbad."

@SC: That's not entirely true anymore. Recent developments in taxonomy have changed how the classifications of various primates are categorized; also "ape" and "monkey" aren't really exact terms.

Seriously, how many times do I have to repeat myself? FOR THE LAST TIME: Monkey = any gorilla, chimp, or ape you can put in a red jumper and roller skates.

I imagine it would be pretty difficult -- and quite possibly fatal -- to put a red jumper and roller skates on a gorilla.

Steve has a red jumper and roller skates. Wait that might have just been a sunburn.

I bet all 'Asians' look alike too, don't they Humphrey?

@spindles: That's because all Asians do look alike.
