Anecdotes
When the Motion Picture Herald reviewer doubted the authenticity of the animal fight sequences, Terry Ramsaye, editor of Motion Picture Herald, defended the film's authenticity, claiming that the animal action was all shot "in a compound adjacent to the city of Singapore, in the Straits Settlements." Ramsaye added, "The scenes staged and recorded in the compound may be accepted as dramatically reasonable reconstructions of what actually happens in the open jungle."

Citations
Frank Buck: [narrating] I was beginning to get impatient. At the same time, I had to smile to myself; here I'd been weeks on the water and was expecting Ali to be on time to the minute. It just shows you. I had every confidence in Ali. He'd been my right-hand man on many previous trips to the Malay country - and even though his body was brown, he was pure white inside. By a lucky break, I had once cured him of jungle fever. And even I did not think as much of myself as he thought of me. Good old Ali! I was sure glad to see him.

Dated But Fun...

As one might expect, this is a series of Ramar-walking-around-the-bushes shots of Buck, intercut with Malayan jungle photography and staged animal fights, plus some sequences of catching animals in old-fashioned drop-door cages and camouflaged-pit traps. The brevity (65 minutes), the music, and Buck's amateur, clipped, breathless narration ("All at once! A new menace! Appeared on the scene!") make the film watchable. Buck is usually seen with faithful best boy Ali: "His body was brown! But he was all white inside!" The staged fights, in which both contestants generally walk (or slither) away unhurt, include: black leopard vs. python, black leopard vs. tiger, python vs. crocodile, tiger vs. water buffalo, and python vs. tiger. The last is the finale, and it's fascinating to see how the python, its head being held by the tiger, swings the lower part of its body completely around and envelops the tiger. In this pre-Code film, are there shots of beautiful young bare-breasted native girls? What do YOU think?
