Some of the footage in this movie had been previously seen in MGM's smash-hit, King Solomon's Mines (1950). On location in Africa for that film, director Andrew Marton had shot vastly more footage than made it into the movie's final edit; the studio prudently held onto it and used it instead in various other movies with an African setting, including this one.

The inscription on Harry Quatermain's rifle reads: "CAPT. H. QUARTERMAIN K.O.S.B.". Many misspell the last name - engraver's error?
