Trivia
Like En el infierno caníbal (1980), this movie contains several actual animal killings. Though his character kills an animal in the film, Giovanni Lombardo Radice strongly objected to the animal killings and refused to participate in them (a double had to be used). Director Umberto Lenzi tried to convince Radice to do the killings by telling him, "De Niro [Robert De Niro] would do it," to which Radice responded, "De Niro would kick your ass all the way back to Rome."

Errores
When handed a watch by a tribesman, Myrna turns it over and says she had Mike's initials engraved on it. 'Mike Logan' appears in full, not just as initials.

Citas
Rudy: Why'd you kill her you bastard?!
Mike Logan: Get off my case motherfucker!

Créditos curiosos
One of the character's names is Gloria. Coincidentally, Gena Rowlands in "Gloria" is showing at the Embassy Times Square cinema during the junkie's walk through New York during the opening credits.

Versiones alternativas
After spending many years as a banned Video Nasty the film was finally submitted to the BBFC in November 2000 in a heavily pre-cut form, removing around 6 minutes of graphic violence. These included a complete removal of cannibalism scenes, a man's eye being gouged out, a scene where Pat threatens a topless native with a knife, all shots of Mike being castrated, scalped and his hand severed, and the infamous scene where Pat is hoisted aloft with iron hooks through her breasts. All of the graphic animal cruelty was also removed. Notably a snake slowly killing a muskrat, and a leopard killing a monkey, plus the mutilations of a crocodile and a turtle. The BBFC additionally made a further 6 sec cut to a shot of a tethered muskrat falling from a jeep.

The Anthropophagi does not Exist

In Brooklyn, in New York City, the drug dealer Mike Logan (John Morghen) steals US$ 100,000.00 from his suppliers and flees to Colombia. The police detectives seek out the touristic guide Myrna Stenn (Meg Fleming), who shared her apartment with Mike.

Meanwhile, the anthropologist Gloria Davis (Lorraine De Selle) travels on vacation to Paraguaya, in Colombia, with her brother Rudolph "Rudy" Davis (Bryan Redford) and her friend Pat Johnson (Zora Kerowa) expecting to find the town of Manioca to prove her thesis that cannibalism does not exist. However, their Jeep breaks down in a lonely road and they need to walk. They meet the Americans Mike Logan and his friend Joseph "Joe" Costolani (Walter Lloyd) that is wounded and Mike tells that the local Indians have eaten their guide Portuguese and they join the trio of friends.

Soon the promiscuous Pat stays with Mike and Joe tells the truth about Mike to Rudy and Gloria and how cruel he had been with the Indians, torturing elders, women and children. Rudy and Gloria feel that they are in danger but there is no place to hide from the young cannibals that are returning to their hamlet.

"Cannibal Ferox" is another brutal Italian film of cannibalism extremely realistic. The story is not bad and the special effects are very impressive; however, the cruelty with live animals is unbearable and does not add any value to the movie. I do not know what viewers could or expect to see in a B-movie with the title "Cannibal Ferox". I saw this film on a Brazilian DVD and the quality of the image is only reasonable. My vote is six.
