 When the Motion Picture Herald reviewer doubted the authenticity of  the animal fight sequences, Terry Ramsaye (qv), editor of Motion  Picture Herald, defended the films authenticity, claiming that the  animal action was all shot "in a compound adjacent to the city of  Singapore, in the Straits Settlements." Ramsaye added, "The scenes  staged and recorded in the compound may be accepted as dramatically  reasonable reconstructions of what actually happens in the open  jungle."
