!!This film contains examples of:
* AfricanChant: One scene has a bit of chanting titled "African Etude".
* CapturedByCannibals: Chuck and Fearless are captured by an African tribe, who think they are [[MightyWhitey white gods]]... until, that is, they decide to test the duo's divinity by having Fearless get into a wrestling match with a KillerGorilla. After he loses, Chuck and Fearless find themselves on the lunch menu.
* DarkestAfrica: ''Road to Zanzibar'' uses all the standard Pulp Africa tropes and [[SubvertedTrope subverts the heck out of them]].
* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: A stock-footage octopus (and one prop tentacle) make a cameo in an early scene.
* HumanCannonball: One of the scams the duo run is a human-cannonball act; it turns out Fearless hides in a secret compartment in the base of the cannon and it's a dummy that gets launched out. (And catches fire, and crashes into a tent, and causes an entire carnival to burn down.)
* InvisibleBackupBand: Discussed together with MickeyMousing in a dialogue which ends with Crosby conducting the invisible orchestra to accompany his singing of the love theme:
-->'''Fearless:''' What killed me is that ''from nowhere'', an orchestra started. You know, violins and everything, right in the minute of a jungle. Isn't that silly?
* KillerGorilla: Towards the end, Fearless gets tossed in a cage with a wrestling gorilla.
* PardonMyKlingon: The natives of DarkestAfrica have their lines subtitled in English, but one line produces a '''[CENSORED]''' stamp instead of a subtitle.
* SawAWomanInHalf: The heroes attempt this at the end.
-->'''Chuck:''' Are you sure you know what you're doing?\\
'''Fearless:''' If I don't, one of us is going back half fare.
* ShoutOut: Chuck's tribal garb includes a headpiece which looks a whole lot like WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse ears. In the same scene, his line about being "off to see the wizard" is a quote from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.
* TalentDouble: Hope is doubled by Olympic wrestler Peter Mehringer in the scene where he wrestles a gorilla.
* TravelMontage: The comedy version where the line starts meandering chaotically.
