Trivia
Acquanetta, who plays the high priestess of the leopard cult, was an exotic-looking actress who appeared in several low-budget adventure movies in the 1940s and 1950s. She was born in Wyoming, with the pedestrian-sounding birth name of Mildred Davenport. She claimed that her great-grandfather was the illegitimate son of the King of England. She was also half Arapaho Indian.

Goofs
The elephants depicted are Indian elephants, not African.

Quotes
Tarzan: Leopards did not kill this man. Leopards never kill with claws alone. Use teeth!

A good one for Tarzan fans.

TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD WOMAN is the most entertaining of the Tarzan films Weismuller made for RKO. Things were starting to get dreary at the RKO backlot jungle, and this film gave the series a boost. The story of a murderous cult who worship a leopard god, has the kind of plot found in the Tarzan comics I used to read as a kid. The plot seems to be in part based on a real life leopard worshiping murder cult, somewhat like the murderous Kali cult of 19th century India; this secret all male society terrorized East Africa until it was put down by the British. Acquenta is exotically gorgeous as the cults leader, Queen Lea.

So what if TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD WOMAN is only escapist entertainment. If you highbrow types are looking for art, what are you doing watching a Tarzan movie anyway?
