Tarzan’s Desert Mystery (1943)
Mar 17, 2002Jungle Hero
The eight of the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan films. The same formula as before but in a desire for novelty the action is relocated to North Africa
Tarzan Triumphs (1943)
Aug 17, 2006Jungle Hero
The seventh of the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan films made as a work of Wartime propaganda where Tarzan faces Nazis
Tarzan and the Amazons (1945)
Jun 26, 2014Jungle Hero
The ninth of the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan films. All but the first two Weissmuller films slip into the utterly banal and formulaic. The novelty this time is Tarzan encountering a city inhabited all by all women
Tarzan and the Slave Girl (1950)
May 22, 2014Jungle Hero
The second of Lex Barker's Tarzan films, another traipse through the studio backlot jungle sets and well-worn formula - lost cities, mysterious tribes, Jane abducted, Cheeta comic relief antics - with little to distinguish it
Tarzan’s Peril (1951)
May 26, 2016Jungle Hero
The fifteenth of the MGM/RKO Tarzan films and third starring Lex Barker. What makes this stand out is that it was the first Tarzan film to go and shoot in Africa, otherwise it follows exactly the same well-worn formula as before and has one of the worst screens Janes ever
Tarzan’s Savage Fury (1952)
Apr 10, 2019Jungle Hero
Fourth of the Lex Barker Tarzan films. Barker is less stiff in the role but this is otherwise as formulaic as they come. The distinction this has is that it is one of the few films that mention Tarzan's origins and that it features a Communist villain
Tarzan and the She-Devil (1953)
Apr 27, 2022Jungle Adventure
The last of the Tarzan outings featuring Lex Barker, as well as an interesting cast line-up including Raymond Burr as the villain
Tarzan’s Hidden Jungle (1955)
Jun 20, 2002Jungle Hero
The first of the Gordon Scott Tarzan films although it does little to vary from the well-established formula of the previous eighteen entries
Tarzan’s Fight for Life (1958)
Aug 23, 2013Jungle Hero
Third of the Gordon Scott Tarzan films, the second in colour and to be shot in real African locations
