Goofs

The 'crocodiles' in the jungle pond scene are American alligators only found in one place in the world; Florida, and never in a jungle in Africa. You can tell the difference by the broad snout (crocodiles have very narrow snouts).

User Reviews

An enjoyable, but hard to get hold of adventure

The Killer Leopard is one of the later Bomba movies Johnny Sheffield appeared in. He was in his twenties when he starred in this.

In this one he helps a movie star, played by Beverley Garland (It Conquered the World), to look for her husband in the jungle. He is on the run after committing several crimes in Britain. The search though is hampered by a rather unfriendly black leopard which seems to enjoy killing people. Bomba does kill it at the end though and the movie star successfully finds her husband, after some of his party are killed.

I was lucky to obtain a copy of this movie as it is quite rare to get hold of, as are all of the Bomba movies.

Watch this if you get the chance. I quite enjoyed it.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
