The film's villain, Dr. Hasslein, had been briefly mentioned at the beginnings of Planet of the Apes (1968) and Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970).
According to actress Kim Hunter, makeup on the original "Planet of the Apes (1968)" took 4 1/2 hours to apply. By the time the third film was done, the makeup department was able to do it an hour quicker. Kim noted that the latex lacked insulation, so your skin was very heated in warm temperatures, but very cold in cool temperatures. During the course of this movie, which was filmed during winter, Kim's makeup appliance develops a "puffed-up" appearance, possibly the result of some padding underneath to compensate for filming in cool temperatures.
All five original "Planet of the Apes" movies were #1 at the U.S. box office when released. "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" spent one week as the #1 top grossing film: the week of May 23, 1971 it made $4,294,942.
With Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) doing well at the box office, producer Arthur P. Jacobs sent a telegram to writer Paul Dehn four months after the film's release which simply said: "Apes exist. Sequel required."
In a 2010 interview with the Archive of American Television, Eric Braeden admitted that he did not really like the role of Dr. Otto Hasslein and considered it to be a caricature. Nevertheless, he added that he had a good time making the film as he enjoyed working with Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Don Taylor, whom he described as a very good director.
"Chairman of the President's Committee of Inquiry: [testing Lewis's assertion that the apes can speak] What is your name? Dr. Zira: Zira. Chairman of the President's Committee of Inquiry: One might as well be talking to a parrot. Dr. Zira: A parrot? Chairman of the President's Committee of Inquiry: What did I tell you? Mechanical mimicry. Unique in an ape, vocally, without a doubt, but... does the other one talk? Cornelius: Only when she lets me."
"Cornelius: They became alert to the concept of slavery. And, as their numbers grew, to slavery's antidote which, of course, is unity. At first, they began assembling in small groups. They learned the art of corporate and militant action. They learned to refuse. At first, they just grunted their refusal. But then, on an historic day, which is commemorated by my species and fully documented in the sacred scrolls, there came Aldo. He did not grunt. He articulated. He spoke a word which had been spoken to him time without number by humans. He said 'No.'"
