* FatalMethodActing: Thankfully averted, but the film had two near misses:
** James [=MacArthur=] almost drowned during the scene where Fritz fights the anaconda and had to be pulled from the swampy waters by crewmembers.
** Kevin Corcoran was nearly trampled by the elephant during the scene where Francis plays with it in the ocean. Thankfully the undercurrent was strong enough to keep the elephant afloat and he escaped.
