Wissenswertes

Cannibal Attack is a 1954 American adventure film, the fourteenth film in a series of jungle-based adventures from Columbia Pictures starring Johnny Weissmuller, the first thirteen of which feature the comic strip character Jungle Jim.

It was directed by Lee Sholem and written by Carroll Young. Filmed at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden, there are no cannibals in the film

Production

The film marked the first time Johnny Weissmuller used his own name, due to copyright issues concerning the use of the name "Jungle Jim". It was specified that Weissmuller did not play himself, rather a fictional character bearing the same name he had. Nevertheless, Cannibal Attack and the remaining two films which followed are still recognized by some as part of Columbia's Jungle Jim film series.
