Trivia
As later stated by one of the costumers, the baby gorillas who interacted with humans were not gorillas, but chimpanzees who were made up in black-face and given peaked fur hats to more closely resemble gorillas. This is because the use of actual baby gorillas would have put the filmmakers in serious danger from the adult gorillas.
Quotes
Dian Fossey:
Shit, shit... I fell in shit!
Goofs
When Fossey's plane lands in Africa, the tires screech when they touch the runway. However, it's a grassy runway, so this is impossible.
