Climati and Morra made two follow-up films to Ultime grida dalla savana. The first followup, Savana violenta, also known as Savage Man Savage Beast no. 2, was released in 1976. Savana violenta was slightly less graphic in its depiction of violence, and unlike its predecessor, it encountered no censorship troubles in Australia. A recut version of the film was also released in the United States under the title Mondo Violence. The last film, Dolce e selvaggio, was released in 1983 and consisted partly of outtakes and recycled footage from Climati and Morra's previous two films. It was originally released uncut theatrically in Australia, although a 1987 video release was forced to be cut by approximately two minutes. Morra went on to make one final Mondo film without Climati called The Savage Zone, while Climati later made the jungle adventure Natura contro in 1988.
