Corrected entry: The film is set in Botswana, yet gorillas do not live anywhere near there. They live in tropical forests or mountain forests in countries like Rwanda, Zaire and Uganda. Most of Botswana is either the Kalahari or tableland - not forest.
Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie, Joe bit the poacher. "That little demon bit off my thumb and trigger finger" were the exact words said by the poacher, but when the poacher finds out about Joe (on TV) he puts his glove on, and he still has his trigger finger - only his thumb is missing.
Correction: The index finger seen is actually part of the black glove that he wears. In the seen where he is shown without the glove, he is missing both the index finger and thumb.
Correction: It is never stated where Joe and the gorillas are from. The only times we hear reference to Botswana was once when it was mentioned by Jill that they were taking Joe to Botswana to the poacher's zoo. The second time was when Pindi told Greg "A man in Botswana will pay you 10,000 for the leopard" the fact that he had to say "in Botswana" implies this forest is not in Botswana.
