The way the character of little David is presented in this film suggests that Monogram Pictures executives may have been considering making David a recurring character, thus giving Bomba a younger sidekick similar to the character of "Boy" in the M-G-M Tarzan films. Not coincidentally, the role of Boy alongside Johnny Weissmuller had been played by Bomba star (and former M-G-M contract player) Johnny Sheffield.
Elena Verdugo, who plays little David's nanny Nona, would later become well-known for playing Consuelo opposite Robert Young in ABC's long-running medical drama Marcus Welby, MD ( for which Verdugo was an Emmy nominee).
The same stock footage of a black panther leaping from a tree and going off into the jungle, seen briefly when Bomba and David are discussing which wild animals are dangerous, was also used in the previous film in this series, Bomba on Panther Island.
Seven years after playing "Ruth Gordon" in this Poverty Row pot-boiler, Marjorie Lord would achieve TV immortality for her role as the ever-patient wife on the original Danny Thomas Show (aka Make Room for Daddy).
This is the third of the dozen Bomba films made by Poverty Row studio Monogram Pictures between 1949 and 1955.
