Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• The location footage in this film, especially the various animals, was re-used as stock footage for dozens of films in the fifties and later, including Tarzan, the Ape Man (1959), Watusi (1959) and the 1973 version of Trader Horn (1973).
• The movie has no music score whatever. The only thing at all musical in the film is some African chanting and drums.
• Errol Flynn was originally cast as Quartermain, but turned it down, as he did not desire to sleep in a tent on location in Africa. Instead he did Kim (1950), which was filmed in India, but the accommodations for the actors were at a local resort.
