Great job. I feel like 'Hench has killed hench' is a reference to something but I don't know what.

"Ape has killed Ape!" - From Battle for the Planet of the Apes. When it was revealed that General Aldo was responsible for killing Caesar's son one of the apes took up this chant followed by the others. I think it deserves a mention in the capsule, which is great as always I might ad.

It should be! I still haven't seen Planet of the Apes, which is why I didn't know that one offhand. :(

We've got your back covered for those very few things which you might miss or be unsure of. This site has become quite the brain tank for this sort of knowledge, which makes it even more the awesomeness that it is, and I feel honored to be a part of it. It also testifies to the savvyness of VB fans in general.

If you do watch the Apes films, start with the original Charleston Heston one, followed by the other three. Not saying they're all gems, but if you're into them they work. You can skip the Marky Mark 2001 remake as they totally missed the point in regards to the social and political commentary of the original. I have not seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

I have seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It's good though I have no context for it beyond what I know about the original movie offhand (and that Simpson's episode). It's kind of a solid action movie though, not too much else to it. Some silliness here and there, but worth watching if you happen to think of it, but I wouldn't say you need to track it down or anything.

Again, the show is so V deep with references I didn't catch that either.
I've seen most of the 'Apes' films, but not that one.

Nice job again Doc, and cpc65 for catching it.

Thanks for the reference. Just couldn't quite come up with the source myself.

Thanks, man! I knew I'd heard it somewhere before.

That annoyed me, because in 'Return to Malice' the Monarch mentions that 21 had killed a number of henchmen himself...plus he and 24 set up another henchman as the writer of Flight of the Monarch.
