Audience Member Tarzan vs. Nazis! Johnny Weissmuller is back as Tarzan, although no longer at MGM and instead produced at a more modest of budget at RKO, this time has the Lord of the Jungle fighting Nazis with the help of Frances Gifford, the princess of a lost city that's been invaded by Nazi paratroopers. This is more of a silly Hollywood WWII propaganda film than a genuine Tarzan story. Still, seeing Tarzan so out of place with this story is pretty entertaining both as a so-bad-it's-good type fo film due to the gonzo idea of Tarzan fighting Nazis, but also still kind of works as a straight adventure film. Overall, it's ridiculous, but it's also entertaining. Look for Sig Ruman as a Nazi, who'd later be better known as Sgt. Johann Sebastian Schulz on "Hogan's Heroes." FUN FACT! MGM would not let RKO use their iconic recording of Tarzan's jungle yell and RKO has to make their own new knockoff "Tarzan Yell." Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is from the Tarzan Collection and its good to see that the Tarzan movies are finally being put on DVD. These are the movies I grew up with and its really neat to see all the things I missed when I was a kid watching these exciting adventures. In this one Tarzan helps a native women named Zandra. Jane is back in England. Zandra's people are being held captive by the Nazi's. Pure Nazi hate through out the film something we wouldn't see in today's movies it just would be political correct. Tarzan fights the Nazi's single handed, no alligator fighting or lion fighting in this one. Cheetah has a large part. Thank you film makers for all the years you brought Tarzan a role model of the sixties too the screen, unlike 2012 where the role models are gangsters. 4 stars Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I Grew up watching the Tarzan Movies, they were a Favorite of my Fathers, & soon became mine.Johnny Weissmuller had been an Olympic Swimmer, & was quite impressive to look at,sexy stuff for a Young Girl. His lines were simple.Cheeta the Chimpanzee was part of the reason I loved these Movies. Tarzan was equal parts Alpha Male & Innocence.Each Story was so good.I'd love to see them played on one of the Networks again Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheeta kills Nazis with a machine gun! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member When German paratroopers enslave the population of the hidden city of Palandria it falls to Tarzan to rid his escarpment of the Nazi menace. Once the Nazis kidnap Boy Tarzan tracks them down and kills them all, some quite cold bloodedly - the child slapping colonel is lured to his death in a lion pit! A bizarre conclusion involves Cheetah on the radio to a General in Berlin who mistakes him for the Fuhrer.... Maureen O'Sullivan is noticeably missing from this film, Janes is reportedly in London visiting her sick mother, but Frances Gifford steps in as the princess of Palandria.
