Trivia
Almost every element from the Georges de la Jungle (1967) cartoon series is included in this movie... even the "Never argue with the Narrator" line that shows up in Jay Ward's cartoons.

Goofs
Shep is clearly an Indian elephant, none of which are found in the wild in Africa. The two species that inhabit Africa would be bush elephants (residents of Africa's savanna grasslands) and forest elephants (residents of African jungles).

Quotes
N'Dugo: Bad guy falls in poop: Classic element of physical comedy. Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh. Ready?
Guides: Ready!
[they all throw their heads back and laugh]

Crazy credits
As the credits begin to roll, "Ape" suddenly calls out, "Hey, doesn't anyone want to know what happened to me?!" We then see a wild Las Vegas show with Ape dressed up in blue sequens singing "My Way."

Alternate versions
On-screen subtitles were provided for Lyle's European mercenaries in the VHS release. These subtitles have been removed from the DVD version

This Movie Swings!

A lot of movies have been fashioned after cartoons, but not all of them are successful. "George of the Jungle" is one of the few that score a hit in that department. The movie captures the slapstick feel of the original cartoon. Brendan Fraser plays his part well, as the dimwitted but lucky George. And I can't really imagine a different voice for the ape named Ape than that of John Cleese!
