As Emanuelle and a companion drive through Times Square, movie theater marquees boast titles such as The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) and "John Holmes in Young and Wet" (Virgins in Heat (1976)).
In the German Version, the main role is called Laura instead of Emanuelle. Strange enough, it's the name of the actor Laura Gemser. Maybe it's because the German version was titled Nackt unter Kannibalen (Being naked with cannibals). So in the German dubbed version, this film isn't part of the Black Emanuelle series.
Many of the scenes were shot without proper permits.
Many of the actors playing the cannibal natives were Filipino tourists picked up from the airport.
Despite the end credits claiming that the jungle scenes were shot in "Tapurucuara, Brazil", they were actually filmed at a lake 56 miles southeast of Rome. The only footage of the real Amazon was lifted from the mondo film Porno Nights of the World (1977).
