Deodato had strictly contracted his actors (including Luca Barbareschi and Francesca Ciardi) to disappear from the public eye and media for a year to maintain the marketing illusion. He was forced to void these contracts and bring the actors onto a live television show to prove they were alive.
This indexical blurring was so effective that it triggered an immediate legal crisis. Shortly after the film’s release, Deodato was arrested in Italy and charged with murder, as authorities believed the actors had actually been killed on camera. He was only exonerated after producing the "dead" actors in court to prove they were alive. Satire and the "Colonial Gaze"

In the late 1970s, Italian cinema was heavily invested in the "cannibal boom," a subgenre of exploitation films focusing on primitive tribes encountering Western civilized people. Director Ruggero Deodato wanted to create something that went beyond simple exploitation; he wanted to comment on modern media sensationalism.
