Planet of the Apes TV show question ...

[Mikey]

Was watching Planet of the Apes the TV show and everytime I watch the beginning credits I always wonder (besides to look cool) why does the gorilla soldier hold the gun above his head ? ... and don't tell me it's to signal his buddies, because they're there right beside him.

A possible reason ---him telling everyone -- 'hey guys, I found my gun"

Any other reasons he might be doing this ?

He's going to swing it down and hit his horses flank to make him run faster maybe.

He's out of bullets and going to throw it at some humans.

He was shooing away some flies.

[LonnieFisher]

He was trying to up-stage his companions for better screen presence.

[LonnieFisher]

He's doing some trick shooting, shooting a bird out of the sky when not looking.

He's showing that the sun setting is just "this" tall.

He won the race and that is his "victory pose".

He's making bubbles. Look above the barrel. Two big bubbles.

[LonnieFisher]

He's going to knock the other ape off his horse if he rides too close to him again.

So the Tusken Raiders would have something to copy!

He's twirling it like a baton.
