Anecdotes
The film was banned in the UK until 2001 for its graphic violence (mostly for its very real animal violence) and was once one of the infamous 72 "video nasties".

Gaffes
When the snake eats the monkey, it is supposed to be natural footage of one animal eating another. There are many leaves around the shot and one of them was very clearly added during editing to hide a device used to launch the monkey into the snake's mouth (a frame-by-frame analysis of this scene can be found on the unrated Blue Underground DVD release).

Crédits fous
The film's ending credits do not actually state what the job of each individual was. Instead, it merely lists the technicians involved, which is why many have mistaken this for a cast list. This was because of the guerrilla nature of the shooting of this film, which meant the film crew positions were very fluid.

Versions alternatives
This film was one of the original 72 video nasties of the UK (under the title "Prisoner of the Cannibal God") and was on the infamous DPP 72 list. The theatrical version was cut to remove all the footage of animal violence in it and the 2001 Vipco DVD version (now re-titled "The Mountain of the Cannibal God") featured a longer and more complete U.S. print, although a further two minutes and six seconds were cut by the BBFC to remove genuine footage of a snake fighting a bird and a snake killing and eating a live monkey.

Snake, er, snack, anyone?

I just finished watching "Mountain of the Cannibal God", one of a 50 movie Mill Creek collection of "Drive-In Movie Classics". This version is titled "Slave of the Cannibal God", oddly enough - maybe because it is the 82 minute R version and not the original version. The movie is about a rich beautiful woman (Ursula Andress) who goes to the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea, where her husband disappeared while prospecting for uranium. She is accompanied by a professor (Stacy Keach) and her slimeball brother. A good bit of time is spent hacking their way through dense forest on some jungle island off of Papua New Guinea in search of the supposedly lost Puka tribe.

The movie is mildly entertaining, it's sort of like watching a more cruel version of Wild Kingdom at times. The version I saw has most of the more disturbing animal cruelty parts cut out, and more disappointingly, the nude scene with Ursula Andress is cut out. As compensation though, a pretty native girl (played by Luigina Rocchi) appears in a scene where she lifts her top off and shows off her nice titties for several seconds.

The Mill Creek version is poor quality, unfortunately. The colors are washed out badly, and there are several places where it is obvious that it is a dub from a VHS tape.
