Final appearance of Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan.
The absence of the Johnny Sheffield character "Boy" from this film is explained with the the claim that Boy is "away at school." In truth, Sheffield's RKO contract had not been renewed, and the actor then signed a deal with "Poverty Row" studio Monogram Pictures to make a series of movies as "Bomba," a character clearly intended to evoke memories of Sheffield's many appearances in Tarzan films.
Johnny Weissmuller's stunt double Ángel García allegedly was killed while performing the famous cliff dive into the ocean at Acapulco, Mexico. Local authorities rejected this claim as Hollywood publicity. Another source said Garcia survived the fall but died when the surf slammed him into the rocks. John Laurenz, who played the singing postman Benji, never made mention of any such incident in his popular radio program or in his article on the filming of this movie. No newspaper articles (Mexico, Hollywood or otherwise) from that time have any mention of this alleged tragedy..
The prominent billing of Linda Christian on this film's poster, despite her having a minor role, is attributable to the fact that when Tarzan and the Mermaids was released, Christian was the fiancée of one of 20th Century-Fox's biggest stars, Tyrone Power. The two were married in 1949 and had two children together.
The same year this film was released, Johnny Weissmuller made his initial appearance as his other best-known character, Jungle Jim. Although he is now remembered more for portraying Tarzan, Weissmuller starred as Edgar Rice Burroughs' Ape Man in just 11 films, but played Jungle Jim in 13 feature films and a 1950s TV series.
"Palanth, the High Priest: If my people knew anyone posed as Balu, they would destroy him. Tarzan: If people know Balu a man, they destroy you."
"Benji: Tarzan go fishing, catch mermaid, eh!"
