Audience Reviews

Audience Member The Tarzan films declined in quality significantly after Johnny Weissmuller left the series, and even poorer of quality knock-off/unofficial spin-off series about Bomba the Jungle Boy, played by Johnny Sheffield, who played "Boy" in the Weissmuller Tarzan films, represented an even further decline. Loads of stock footage, poorly done rear projection, and lousy looking backlot jungles make this series pretty weak. This particular entry finds Bomba fighting a dangerous black panther (I only with is was the 1960s activist kind or the Marvel Cinematic Universe kind, which would have made a much more interesting of film). Bomba also has to fight some stereotypically superstitious natives. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
