In the final scene of the film, the editing suggests that Taylor detonates the bomb (whether by accident or intentionally has already been debated on these boards). But the hand that presses the lever is clearly an ape's hand, not human. So it must have been Zaius, not Taylor who did it. I've just browsed all of the message boards for this film and nobody seems to have noticed or commented about this before.
shareIt's an ape hand, not a human hand. Look again and pause on the closeup before responding to this. Notice the shape of the thumb in particular. Compare this to the medium shot of Taylor that immediately precedes this - it's not the same hand.
shareThere's always the possibility that they could've used a stand-in's hand for the close-up, but it was represented as Taylor's.
shareIt's not an ape hand, there is no hair on it. It's Taylor's bloody hand.

I'm thinking the OP is pulling our leg (or hand). It's so obvious that Taylor detonates the bomb as the scene is shot.

No, I think that might be Donald Trump's paw.

When Heston fell into the underground, he came across the script for this film. He attempted to destroy it, but they locked him up. Once freed, he was finally able to detonate a nuke to this franchise. Yet, like a cockroach, it survived.

It was a dying Taylor...Zaius has no reason to blow himself and the whole world to bits. Taylor thinks it's time for the world to end and Zaius saying "Man is evil, capable of nothing but destruction!" does nothing to dissuade him.
