Director Stephen Hopkins said about filming: "We had snake bites, scorpion bites, tick bite fever, people getting hit by lightning, floods, torrential rains and lightning storms, hippos chasing people through the water, cars getting swept into the water and several deaths of crew members including two drownings... Val came to the set under the worst conditions imaginable he was completely exhausted from doing "The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)" he was dealing with the unfavorable publicity from that set, he was going through a divorce he barely had time to get his teeth into this role before we started filming, and he is in nearly every scene in this movie but I worked him 6 or 7 days a week for 4 months under really adverse conditions and he really came through, he had a passion for this film."
Only one scene uses an animatronic lion. All the other shots used two real-life lions named Bongo and Caeser. The same lions appeared in George of the Jungle (1997).
In a 1999 interview with SFX magazine, director Stephen Hopkins described his experience making this movie as "a true nightmare". Michael Douglas, who was producing the film, decided at last minute to play Remington. But the working relationship between Douglas and Hopkins was very tense even before filming. Douglas had the movie completely re-cut in post production, removing 45 minutes to give him more screen time. It explains the plot holes and story lines that go nowhere. Hopkins was not happy with the final cut of the film.
Despite receiving a mixed critical response, the film won an Academy Award for Sound Editing for supervising sound editor Bruce Stambler, and gained a cult following.
William Goldman first heard about the story when travelling in Africa in 1984, and thought it would make a good script. In 1989 he pitched the story to Paramount as a cross between Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Jaws (1975). They commissioned him to write a screenplay, which he delivered in 1990.

"Mahina: You know, I also have killed a lion. Angus Starling: How many shots did you need? Mahina: I used my hands."
