ProductionPerils of Nyoka was budgeted at $169,296 although the final negative cost was $175,010 (a $5,714, or 3.4%, overspend). It was the most expensive Republic serial of 1942.[1] It was filmed between March 20 and May 2, 1942,[1] with the outdoor action sequences shot primarily at the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, Calif. The serial's production number was 1197.[1] The success of the original serial Jungle Girl prompted the sequel, but the studio did not want to pay licensing fees to Burroughs again, so it avoided any repetition of the term "Jungle Girl," to which he had the rights. Instead, "Nyoka," the name of the main character in the first film, was placed in the title of the sequel, because that name was an original creation of Republic's writers, not of Burroughs.[5]ReleaseTheatricalPerils of Nyoka's official release date is 27 June 1942, although this is actually the date the seventh chapter was made available to film exchanges.[1] The serial was re-released on 2 April 1952, under the new title Nyoka and the Tigermen,[6] between the first runs of Radar Men from the Moon and Zombies of the Stratosphere.[1]A version for French territories was titled "KING -KONG CHEZ LES ARABES / KING KONG bij de ARABIEN TelevisionPerils of Nyoka was one of twenty-six Republic serials re-released as a film on television in 1966. The title of the film was changed to Nyoka and the Lost Secrets of Hippocrates. This version was cut down to 100-minutes in length.[1]Critical receptionJim Harmon and Donald F. Glut write that this is probably the best Jungle serial ever made and that it "lavished in increased production values."[5] Cline notes that Perils of Nyoka stands out in the memories of the original serial audiences despite the strong competition of 1942.[2]Chapter titles
