Curiosidades

Sir Sean Connery was paid five thousand six hundred dollars for his role in this movie. When asked to play in the next Tarzan movie, he said he couldn't because "two fellows took an option on me for some spy picture and are exercising it. But I'll be in your next." The "spy picture" was 007 Contra o Satânico Dr. No (1962), the first of his numerous appearances as James Bond 007.

Cheetah appears only during one line ("So long, Cheetah"). This is because the chimpanzees brought from England to Kenya for the filming were so terrified of the jungle night noises they wouldn't perform.

Producer Sy Weintraub also wanted Sir Anthony Quayle to come back for another Tarzan movie, but Quayle had been offered a part in Lawrence da Arábia (1962) after having been seen in this movie, and couldn't accept.

Tarzan (Gordon Scott) is nearly killed in the jungle in a dynamite blast by Slade (Sir Anthony Quayle). While recuperating, Tarzan is aided by Angie (Sara Shane) who crashed her employer's plane. Tarzan develops amorous feelings for Angie and they start to kiss. The kiss is immediately cut, but in the trailer for the movie, the kiss can be found.

This was the first movie for Producer Sy Weintraub. He would make Tarzan adventures, including the popular television series, throughout the 1960s.
