** While Dian and Bob's love affair seems like something made up by a bunch of Hollywood producers to give the film a romantic subplot, she really did have an affair with him and he really did intend to leave his wife to be with her. She even got pregnant from their relationship, but got an abortion because she reasoned that National Geographic wouldn't want pictures of an unmarried pregnant woman on their magazine covers, something the film omits.

** Dian purchasing a monster mask to scare the poachers? She ''really did that''.
** Dian beating her chest to attract gorillas' attention and blend in better? Without turning them hostile or scaring them away? This really did happen in her early days. Fortunately, she quickly learned not to do it.

In fact, the film's marketing really underplayed his involvement, instead focusing on the shots that featured actual gorillas in the wild.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: In the scenes where gorillas and humans need to closely interact, it's gorilla suits created by Creator/RickBaker - which look so believable that it's hard to tell them apart from the real gorillas appearing in the other scenes.

* TearJerker: A solid candidate for the most heartbreaking film of 1988 [[Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies that doesn't involve Sakuma Fruit Drops]]. Given that Dian was being played by the always-phenomenally-talented Creator/SigourneyWeaver, well... prepare for your heart to be crushed in epic fashion.
