Trivia
Katja Bienert said playing in this film was quite an act, cause she is far away from being sportive. "Mostly I was frightened acting like being a female Tarzan, so I was thankful that he added some scenes where I looked seductive or was fighting with my hunters - anything, but my feet on the ground. We shot on the Canary Islands in a natural resort and I enjoyed being in the nature, having a comfortable hotel nearby. Mostly we shot during the summer-holidays, cause Jess always respected me being a schoolgirl," Bienert recalled.

Goofs
Two crew members are seen hiding behind some rocks when Fred walks off just before Lita goes swimming.

Alternate versions
The export version, credited to Cole Polly, has a few additional scenes shot by Olivier Mathot.

Diamonds of Kilimandjaro (1983)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

A plane crashes in the jungles of Africa and a little girl survives. Fifteen years later her mother (Lina Romay) sends a search party out looking for her but they've also got their eyes on some priceless jewels. I enjoy these jungle adventure films but this one here dies off after a decent start. There are a few good moments but not enough to really keep the film moving as well as it should. I've heard that Franco didn't shoot all of the material here but it certainly looks like his work.
