Stock Footage: Much of the movie consists of recycled stock footage from the Sabu film Man-Eaters of Kumaon, a dramatization of Jim Corbett's nonfiction book about man-eating tigers in India. Hence why the plot involves Dan tracking escaped tigers...in Africa.

Interspecies Romance: Laura spends the first act of the movie entranced by her husband's captive gorilla, Spanky (which her husband kills after the ape gets too handsy). It turns out that she was a gorilla in a past life, and when she returns to Africa with her husband she meets some of Spanky's wild kin, with predictable results.

Bronson Canyon and Caves: The movie uses the cave as a standin for a cave somewhere in the jungles of Darkest Africa, where a troop of killer gorillas make their lair.

comment
Halfway Plot Switch: The movie initially starts off as the story about a newlywed who realizes she is the reincarnation of a gorilla, which is the reason why male gorillas are aroused by her. Then halfway in, she and Dan, a big game hunter, go on an African honeymoon and the film then turns into a story about the husband going after some escaped Bengal tigers attacking people on his campground. Meanwhile, the titular bride is shoved into the background, and no gorillas are seen until the last 10 minutes when the original plot finally resumes.

Killer Gorilla: Great White Hunter Dan has a gorilla caged in his basement. It breaks out and attempts to get with his wife, Laura, who was apparently a gorilla in a previous life. Gorillas are discussed throughout the movie as if they're the deadliest predators of the jungle, and in the movie's climax, gorillas are shown in their natural African habitat: The Bronson Caves.
