Trivia
A cena final da invasão dos gorilas foi rodada em um dia "segunda feira 13 de setembro de 1948". (Segundo o diário de Emil Stika que fez o papel de um dos gorilas , )

Goofs
While the setting is supposed to be a village in an African jungle, the men in the village are Asian--the actors appear to be Filipino--and the women are either white or Hispanic, have carnations in their hair and wear pareos, which are not worn in Africa but in Polynesia and other areas of the South Pacific.

Connections
Followed by Jim la Jungle dans l'antre des gorilles (1950)

The Lost Tribe

Jungle Jim rescues a beautiful native girl, Li Wanna, who is being chased by two sailors. She comes from a hidden village and the men were using her to find it. She had been sent on an errand to meet Jim by her elder. Jim visits the village and learns they are rich in diamonds. The village elder gives Jim a bag of diamonds which he wants delivered to the men looking for them.

A bag of diamonds will not satisfy them however. Along the way, Jungle Jim faces several challenges ...

Like battling lions, sharks, crocodile and the diamonds hunters! The plot is quite busy with plenty of peril thrown at you. There's the usual animal interludes - including a fake gorilla suit - but it's not too lengthy like the first jungle Jim film. It obviously aimed more the juvenile crowd and it's quite entertaining - cheesy and fun. Elena Verdugo and Myrna Dell adds some glamour quotient amidst the monkey business.
