Audio problem: When the monkey walks to the cradle to calm the crying baby, in the wide shot the baby is crying out loud, then in the close-up he is totally calm, mouth closed, yet the crying is still heard.
Continuity mistake: When the monkey kills Jack, he lays with his head facing the right side. A frame later he is facing upwards.
Trivia: Ralph Richardson, who played the Sixth Earl of Greystoke, died shortly after filming had ended, and he received a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The film was dedicated to his memory.
Trivia: The dialogue of Andie MacDowell (Jane) was dubbed in post-production by Glenn Close.
Trivia: Even though the film is entitled "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes", the word "Tarzan" is never actually mentioned in the film. The Ape Man is referred to as either "Lord Greystoke" or "John."
Capitaine Phillippe D'Arnot: This is not the world John. Just the edge of it.
John Clayton: Half of me is the Earl of Greystoke.
John Clayton: The other half is wild.
