Trivia
The Winston gorillas in were so authentic, few people viewing the film ever realized that the animals were not real. "One of the greatest compliments I got from a friend," said Paul Mejias, "was when he said: 'I saw Instinct. Which were the real gorillas and which were yours?' That said it all." "The combination of the art and technology that went into our gorilla heads and suits," added Stan Winston, "the gorilla performances of the actors in those suits, and the fact that they were shot in a natural environment resulted in some of the best gorilla work I've ever seen. We'd had to go through a learning curve on Congo. But with Instinct, we nailed it."

Errores
When Theo goes to visit Lynn at her home it is late at night, yet once inside the house, daylight is coming through the windows.

Citas
Ethan Powell: [Farewell letter to Dr. Calder] Dear Theo: I'm sorry I'm not there to say goodbye. You were right. Freedom is not just a dream. It's there, on the other side of those fences we build all by ourselves. Thank you for giving me hope and for giving me back my daughter. And I thank you, Theo, for sharing this journey with me. Your friend, Ethan.

Why isn't this movie more well known?

I think this is a GREAT movie. It has a story line that while not complicated, is very different. And it is a great story that is very facinating. There were a number of great character acts too. There are a number of characters in the insane prison from a number of "unknown" actors that really give the movie added personality. It made me want to look up these actors to see what else they do. The scenes with the gorillas were tastefully done, with no over kill that made it look somewhat artificial, which so many movies tend to do. For example, 'Greystoke' starring Christofer Lambert as Tarzan, was an attempt at realism, but had the apes portraying some very human like relationships. Not so with 'Instinct'. The only thing I found spoilt the movie a bit was to suggest that an American insane prison setup would find it necessary, even encouraged, for inmates to be violent to each other. This ridiculous aspect brought the quality of the movie down a notch or two. The relationship between Hopkins and Gooding was fantastic. And the intense scene between them involving 'duck tape' really brought forth the message the movie was giving. SO, why is the movie more well known??? I guess the movie promoters just didn't do their job very well. OH WELL!!! Movie gets 8/10 from me.
