* BookEnds: The movie begins and ends with a healing earth ceremony to cure someone, and both are identical visually: the tribe's wise-woman is overlooking from a nearby hilltop with a leopard pal in both instances, and both times there are newcomers present, whose wind up in the middle of commotion along with their car and are basically ignored by the tribe and allowed to remain as spectators.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Sidekick}}: Fletch spends a lot of the film spectated from Vic and Sheena, but ultimately fills this role. Interestingly, he doesn't immediately go back to help them, pondering about the severe risk involved, as well as how he could become famous by breaking the story himself, but does do the right thing in the end.
** Boto and Juka, who help Fletch throughout the later part of the movie, could be considered sidekicks ''to'' the main sidekick.

Added DiffLines:

* MaleFrontalNudity: When the African man is cured of his cancer by being buried up to his neck in the healing earth, he emerges completely nude. The film shows him from the front, not the rear, although it's shot from a sufficient distance. Later, Vic is cured of his third degree burns in the same manner, and is naked when he emerges, too, although the tribesmen put a cloth around his waist, so he's seen naked only briefly.
