Trivia
The same set seen here as the lagoon where Bomba and Judy go swimming would later be used as the principal locale for the classic TV series Gilligan's Island.

Goofs
When the buffalo and leopard fight, the audio is rather interesting, The buff does an impersonating of a mooing cow and the leopard produces a very convincing impression of a snarling dog.

Quotes
Robert Maitland: Amazing. Thousand miles of jungle and you just happened along.
Bomba: Not happened. Bomba track panther. Black cat is killer.
Robert Maitland: Black panther. Do you suppose that could be the one that's been attacking my men?
Comm. Andy Barnes: It's possible. Woods are full of cats.
Bomba: Most cats kill for food. Panther kill just to kill. Must die.

That Come Hither Jungle Glance

Bomba On Panther Island is the one I remember best from watching the series in my childhood. Mainly because with the presence of Lita Baron in the cast the story came close to being adult.

Johnny Sheffield is on a jungle island where brother and sister Harry Lewis and Allene Roberts hope to build a plantation. But on that same island is a black panther with a taste for killing humans. When the panther kills one of Bomba's little monkey friends he goes on a mission.

There are two women admiring Bomba's physique in this one, Allene who is a good girl and Lita who is one sexy dish. In fact the closest sex ever came to this series was when Lita gives Bomba the come hither glance while at a jungle stream. If this had been an adult picture you better believe Bomba would have been putty in her hands. In the entire Bomba series there was never anyone else like Lita Baron in it.

I think more than the kids will like Bomba On Panther Island.
