Ruggero Deodato has said he now regrets everything he did, especially the animal deaths. He said once that he wishes he'd never made the movie.

After seeing the film, director Sergio Leone wrote a letter to Ruggero Deodato, which stated, "Dear Ruggero, what a movie! The second part is a masterpiece of cinematographic realism, but everything seems so real that I think you will get in trouble with all the world."

A small segment of music from Don't Torture a Duckling (1972) was reused by Riz Ortolani in this film.

When the crew first find the impaled native girl, her legs hang down limply. In later shots her legs are crossed at the ankles.

When the cannibals disembowel Jack, the skin-colored plastic trash bags holding in his fake torso and organs are visible.

During the impalement scene, the lower portion of the "stick" is perfectly smooth and straight, while the portion through her mouth is rough and somewhat jagged, like an actual tree limb. The upper part should also exit through her eye sockets.

Professor Harold Monroe: Yes, yes, that is precisely what I want. I've seen the rest of the material, you haven't. You haven't seen the stuff that even your editors didn't have the stomach to put together, and if you had, you wouldn't hesitate but to agree with me.

Professor Harold Monroe: [voice over] We weren't able to get anything out of the Yanomamo except for the wristwatch they gave us as a token of their gratitude to an ally, an ally they continue to fear and mistrust, so I've decided to try an experiment in psychology: to strip myself completely, clothes, weapons, dog tags, rings, everything, to become like them, naked and unfettered as Adam.

Chaco Losojos: [while examining a corpse] Hey, professor! I recognize these teeth. This is Felipe Ocanya. He knew the jungle as well as I do.
