This video shows a chimp getting his own back on some laughing soldiers who think it would be hilarious to hand him a gun and see what happens…

OK, so it’s actually a viral video for Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, but still. What’s hilarious is the debate as to whether this is real or not. Err, no it isn’t, you absolute cretins.

Does the picture from the film sitting above the video not give it away? Or the fact it was uploaded by a user called ‘apeswillrise’? Or how about the 20th Century Fox Research Library reference? Geez.

That doesn’t make this clip any less impressive, of course, and a little scary. Which is exactly what Fox must have been going for because the idea of the apes rising up against humanity is meant to scare the pants off us and in doing so sell the movie.
