Planet of the Apes

Davidson (Wahlberg) finds out the monument that the apes were worshipping was actually the ship that he launched from at the beginning of the movie. It was a monument because the monkeys that were kept in the cages escaped and created the ape society on the planet. It had been there for thousands of years, which means Davidson jumped forward in time through a black hole. Davidson finds his ship and travels back to Earth. When he jumped back, time went back to normal and he hears a voice on the radio, guding him in. He crashes near the Washington Monument, and sees a statue of General Thade instead of Lincoln. Police rush to the scene of the crash and they all turn out to be apes.

Continuity mistake: When they cross the river and arrive at the other side, they are all dry. Mark Wahlberg was in the water up to his neck and sometimes higher yet he seems to be completely dry.

Question: To prevent spoilers/plot leaking to the public, Tim Burton made five endings to keep people guessing. Is there anywhere I can see any of the other four?

Answer: There were five different endings to the movie and late actor Michael Clarke Duncan saw them all. So far, no website seems to have all five endings. Just the one we're familiar with.

Answer: You might be mistaken, there was only ever one ending shot for this film: the ending we all saw at the Lincoln Memorial. There were different planned endings (one was a similar ending to the theatrical but set at Yankee stadium with apes playing baseball) that were each rejected for various reasons. The ending we see is the one that is in the script.
