Continuity mistake: When the bald soldier gets into the cage of the apes, the amount of mud on his face changes between shots.
War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Matt Reeves
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis
Audio problem: When Caesar and his companions come over to the lone soldier by the huts, carrying firewood, he puts the wood down and grabs for his gun. The sound of automatic fire is heard as he is shot, but when Caesar (the shooter) comes into view, he is carrying a pump-action shotgun.
Caesar: I did not start this war. I offered you peace. I showed you mercy. But now you're here. To finish us off... for good.
Trivia: In the opening scene, one of the soldiers has "Bedtime for Bonzo" written on his helmet. This is a reference to the film with Ronald Reagan about an intelligent chimp.
Question: What happened to Will and Malcolm?
Answer: The above answer applies to Malcolm. Will was the character from the first movie, who was not in Dawn of Planet of the Apes. While no definitive answer was ever given, I think the safe bet is that he died of the Simian flu, along with millions of others.
Answer: At the end of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, they and the other surviving humans there packed up and left after the events. We don't know where they went.
