Goofs

As the plane crashes immediately after the declaration of war, it has a biplane (double-wing) tail.

However, a moment later as it crashes into a cliff side, the tail is normal.

Near the opening of the film, the pilot and his co-pilot are looking downward through binoculars at the animals below.

The next shot shows their "view through the binoculars", but the shots of wild animals are all photographed horizontally, by a photographer on the ground.

Moments later, as the plane tries to land, we see a view through their cockpit window, showing the ground at a steep angle (appropriate for looking downward from a plane).

When Mike and Bob spot the wreckage, they make an impossible dive towards the ground- and the shadow that is cast on the ground is that of a helicopter, not a plane.

The search is on for Greta Vanderhorn (Wanda McKay), the long-lost and definitely missing daughter of deceased South African tycoon William Vanderhorn. She disappeared somewhere in Africa's Zambesi Territory while flying home to Johannesburg in 1939 (during the outbreak of the Second World War), presumably in a plane crash she was the only survivor.

In this dystopian time, I have not made a lot of good choices with all the time I have not been working, and one of the choices was to gang watch all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes. This movie was one of the episodes.

If this film had at least a thousand votes, it would be on the IMDb Bottom 100! I don't find the film to be that awful...

It has so many continuation errors that you just cannot forgive. On top of all the racism I guess if you could call it, 'White Goddess' that.

Show 203 of the popular Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's typical of many 40's Hollywood movies in which the white characters play God to the native Africans.

What century was this film made in? The racial attitudes in this snooze-fest are unbelievable.

In this low rent adventure, two aviators search for a missing heiress who vanished in the African jungle at the onset of World War Two. Our intrepid explorers discover she is alive and well and is being viewed by the local natives as some kind of "white goddess".

The dull, gray story of a Dutch girl(with no accent, mind you)who gets lost in the jungles of Bachman's floral..err..

Beyond being a bad, terribly dull movie, I have a bigger problem with Jungle Goddess – racism. I'm not sure why it bothers me so much in this movie when I can let it go in movies with similar racial incidents like any of the Tarzan movies, but it really bothered me here.
