Quotes from
Captain: The channel's here on the chart, all right, and so are the marking lights.
First mate: Then what's wrong with them?
Captain: Those lights don't seem to be in just the right place. They're both a bit out of position according to this.
First mate: Two light buoys means a safe channel between the world over!
Captain: "Safe between the world over" doesn't go in these waters.
Bob Rainsford: This world's divided into two kinds of people: the hunter and the hunted. Luckily I'm the hunter. Nothing can change that.
Doc: I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization. The beast of the jungle, killing just for his existence, is called savage. The man, killing just for sport, is called civilized. It's a bit inconsistent, isn't it?
Bob Rainsford: Now just a minute. What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man. Now take that fellow, for instance. There never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away, but he didn't want to. He got interested in hunting me. He didn't hate me for stalking him anymore than I hated him for trying to charge me. As a matter of fact, we admired each other.
Doc: Perhaps, but would you change places with the tiger?
Bob Rainsford: Well, not *now*.

Facts about
Most of the standing sets from King Kong were used in the making of this film, including the King Kong gate (which was eventually burned down in the "Burning of Atlanta" sequence of Gone with the Wind). This film and "King Kong" were shot at the same time, though "Kong" was released later (probably due to the special effects required for "Kong").
Contemporary Film Daily news items list Lon Chaney Jr., Cornelius Keefe, Walter McGrail and Ray Milland to the cast, but they did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie.
