This would be the final film for Johnny Sheffield. He would pass away 55 years later without appearing in another movie.
For the original film in this franchise, 1949's Bomba the Jungle Boy, a second unit filmed about a dozen versions of star Johnny Sheffield swinging through the jungle on various vines. Those 12 takes were then spliced into each of the succeeding Bomba movies, saving Poverty Row studio Monogram Pictures untold thousands in production costs.
This was Johnny Sheffield's 12th and last appearance as Bomba. He had previously played "Boy" opposite Johnny Weissmuller in 8 M-G-M Tarzan films. Although he would survive for more than half a century after this film's release, Sheffield chose never to appear on screen again.
For the sequence depicting rogue elephants going on a rampage and knocking down a jungle hut, this film "recycles" footage originally seen in a previous Bomba entry, Elephant Stampede.
One day, between takes, Wayne Morris talked to director Ford Beebe who told Morris that him - Beebe - never drank alcohol. Then Morris replied that it was impossible to direct such a stupid film without being drunk first.
