If you listen carefully during the scene when Dodge accuses Rodney of stealing his cookies, Rodney does say Dodge's name. 
This is interestingly quite ironic, considering that the character he played, Dodge, had a strong aversion to primates (mainly great apes).
Coincidentally, and very ironically, Tom Felton was attacked by a baboon while reading over the script of the movie. In the 1968 film it is spoken by Taylor, the film's hero/protagonist, while Dodge is the secondary villain of the 2011 film. The extremely famous line from the 1968 film "Take your stinkin' paws off me you damn dirty ape!" is said by Dodge Landon whilst he is fighting Caesar. Dodge was the secondary antagonist of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. These negative traits of his, were what eventually led to Dodge's painful yet deserved/justified death at the hands of Caesar albeit by accident. Despite his egocentricity, he feared his father, John Landon, as he was both Dodge's boss and the owner of his workplace, knowing that if his father ever found out that he had mistreated the apes, John would not hesitate to fire his own son.ĭodge's continuous mistreatment of Caesar and the other apes was ultimately one of the reasons that caused Caesar to begin the Ape Rebellion. He was a bully towards both the apes at the San Bruno Primate Shelter and Rodney, his behavior gave him a sense of power, thus he felt no guilt or remorse for his actions. When Caesar defended himself by spraying Dodge with a fire hose (the same hose Dodge himself used to torture Caesar earlier) the water made contact with Dodge's stun baton just as he was about to strike, electrocuting Dodge and killing him.ĭodge was arrogant, rude, sadistic, and disrespectful. After Dodge caught Caesar out of his cage, he attempted to attack him with his stun baton but was quickly subdued by an angry Caesar who surprised Dodge by shouting "No!" before knocking him out and placing him in a cage.Īfter Caesar freed the other Apes from their cages, Dodge woke up and once again attempted to strike. He brought some friends to the Primate Shelter to show off his power over the apes, but one carelessly got too close to Caesar's cage and was grabbed and relieved of his pocket knife, unknown to any of the humans present.Ĭaesar later escaped the facility using the knife, after which he stole the ALZ-113 virus from Will Rodman's house and proceeded to infect the other apes at the facility. Dodge is nearly attacked by a visiting Will Rodman who found a wound on Caesar but it is broken up by his father. He would tranquilize Caesar and Rocket, the alpha of the shelter. 
Later on, he abuses Caesar and tells his co-worker Rodney that he's looking forward to the pain Caesar receives in first time in the yard with the other apes. This eventually became the death of him.ĭodge is first seen when he shows Caesar to his cell, feigning being polite before showing his true colors after the ape entered his cell. He worked there as a guard under his father, but administered horrible treatment and cruelty to the primates there, bordering on torture for no apparent reason.
