Continuity mistake: When Thade takes the weapon from Leo the weapon is a futuristic laser type gun. When Thade is firing the weapon after being locked in the command centre, the gun is a stainless steel Beretta brigadier model. (01:50:00)
Planet of the Apes (2001)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Roth, Paul Giamatti, Michael Clarke Duncan, Estella Warren
Davidson (Wahlberg) finds out the monument that the apes were worshipping was actually the ship that he launched from at the beginning of the movie. It was a monument because the monkeys that were kept in the cages escaped and created the ape society on the planet. It had been there for thousands of years, which means Davidson jumped forward in time through a black hole. Davidson finds his ship and travels back to Earth. When he jumped back, time went back to normal and he hears a voice on the radio, guding him in. He crashes near the Washington Monument, and sees a statue of General Thade instead of Lincoln. Police rush to the scene of the crash and they all turn out to be apes.

More questions & answers from Planet of the Apes
Answer: To prevent anyone else from learning that Leo came from space. After Pericles' ship crashed, there was a prophecy of a second coming of Semos, the founder of Ape civilization. Thade wants to kill all humans, so if anyone found out, it would be considered a sign and the council might consider making peace with the humans.
