Production Notes
The movie was filmed on location in Brazil and along the Amazon River immediately after production of the previous film, Tarzan and the Great River.
All three of Mike Henry's Tarzan films were completed before the first (Tarzan and the Valley of Gold) was released in 1966.
The roles of opposing brothers Nagambi and Buhara were played by real life brothers Rafer and Ed Johnson.
Citing exhaustion and unsafe work conditions (Henry's jaw was bitten by the chimpanzee that was playing Cheeta, named Dinky in Tarzan and the Great River previously) Mike Henry bowed out of the Tarzan television series (for which he had been signed to play the lead) and sued Sy Weintraub's Banner Productions. The case was settled for an undisclosed sum. Ron Ely replaced him as Tarzan.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The soft complaining FLUTE
In dying Notes discovers
The Woes of hopeless Lovers,
Whose Dirge is whisper’d by the warbling LUTE.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
