Trivia
Frederick Selous, here played by Paul Freeman, was the real life basis for H. Rider Haggard's fictional hero Alan Quatermain, who in turn inspired the character of Indiana Jones.

Goofs
Indy flees the cave after seeing a snake saying that he hates snakes, but in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) it is established that his fear of snakes started in 1912 when he fell among snakes in Utah.

Quotes
Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr.: This was a land I'd read about in adventure books, but what I saw was different. I didn't know it then, but I was looking at the Garden of Eden, before the fall of man.

Alternate versions
The version released on DVD as part of _Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Passion for Life, The (1999) (V)_ excludes the bookend sequences featuring old Indy at the Annual Celebrity Tennis Shoe Auction and Diner, as well as the 1909 arrival of the Jones family at Medlicot's home in Africa. In this scene former schoolmates Henry Sr. and Medlicot perform the 'Genius of the Restoration' greeting from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).
