* HeinousHyena: A hyena is spotted near the camp, and is implied to be a man-eater. The explorers shoot at it to scare it off. There's also a creepy close-up of one sneering and doing the infamous laugh.
* MaleGaze: The narrator is sure to point out that "African women are quite shapely", as footage of the women doing their chores is shown.
* MisplacedWildlife: An armadillo is seen in the camp. It is also [[SomewhereAMammalogistIsCrying portrayed as a scavenger and referred to as "graverobber"]].

We now know, thanks to the work of ethologists like Dian Fossey, that gorillas are generally nonviolent. Needless to say, interbreeding between gorillas and humans is also not possible.

!! ''Ingagi'' contains the following tropes:
* DarkestAfrica: The opening text crawl uses this exact phrase when describing Winstead and Swayne's expedition. All the trope's hallmarks are on full display, from killer animals at every turn, to HollywoodNatives with backwards customs.
* KillerGorilla: The gorillas regularly raid a nearby tribe. To appease them, the tribe sacrifices one of their women to the beasts. It turns out that the gorillas are holding the women as sex slaves, and even breeding with them.
* MamaBear: The explorers find a crocodile nest and play around with the eggs and young. This attracts the angry parents, who hiss at the explorers as the narrator deadpans, "The old lady objected to our presence".

''Ingagi'' is a 1930 {{Mockumentary}} ExploitationFilm, following the expeditions of GreatWhiteHunter duo Sir Hubert Winstead and Captain Daniel Swayne, as they venture into DarkestAfrica to collect animal specimens. While there, the hear of a terrifying local custom: supposedly, a nearby tribe sacrifices its women to a troop of [[KillerGorilla Killer Gorillas]] as a way to avoid gorilla attacks. The gorillas [[BestialityIsDepraved take the women as sex slaves]], and, allegedly, hybrid children have even been produced. Winstead and Swayne set out to put a stop to this, along the way running into unique local fauna.
The film passed itself off as a legitimate documentary when it was first released, but was quickly exposed by those who saw through it. The American Society of Mammalogists investigated, and discovered that Winstead and Swayne were not real people at all. The producers were also sued after it was revealed that some of the safari scenes had been stolen from an earlier, legitimate documentary. The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors Association withdrew their approval after the fakery came to light. However, proving that there's NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity, the news that it was a lie ''attracted'' new audiences, who wanted to see what all the fuss was about. This made ''Ingagi'' a box-office success, and inspired RKO Radio Pictures to invest in KillerGorilla films to attract those same profits. Yes, it's very possible that there would be no ''Film/KingKong'' without ''Ingagi''!
It spawned an unofficial sequel, ''Film/SonOfIngagi'', in 1940. The first horror film with an all-black cast, ''Son Of Ingagi'' follows a female MadScientist who is keeping an ape-monster in a cage in her basement.
