Lucky was a chimpanzee who resided at the San Bruno Primate Shelter.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Lucky was sent to the San Bruno Primate Shelter for unknown reasons. Like most of the apes at the shelter, he was cruelly mistreated by handler Dodge Landon.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes[]
When testing of the ALZ-113 drug began at Gen-Sys Laboratories, further chimpanzees were acquired from the San Bruno Primate Shelter, including Lucky and Cornelia. However, Lucky is soon liberated when Caesar leads the other apes in a rebellion and frees the lab apes there. It is unknown if Lucky survived the Battle on the Golden Gate Bridge and reached freedom in the Muir Woods.
Notes[]
- An earlier version of the script named Lucky among the first batch of apes at the Gen-Sys Laboratories with Bright Eyes, Caesar's mother. Felix, Bam Bam and Monty were other inmates, with Lucky the ape who goes on a rampage and is shot by a guard named Len (or "Guard #1"), rather than Bright Eyes (as in the movie).
Trivia[]
- It is unclear if Lucky appeared in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes.
