As with all Jungle pictures of that era, no attempt was made to provide any cultural authenticity. It's a wild mix of African "natives" speaking with Californian speech cadences, stone temples with Mayan designs, crumbling Asian idols, exploding volcanoes, magic swords, and a mystical indigenous Jungle Queen who is whiter than white.

No Tikis though. :(
