Did you know
• Directly steals story points, footage, and sound from 1950's King Solomon's Mines.
• The musical score for this film, by noted jazz musician Shorty Rogers, often bears no relation to what is seen on screen, and gives the impression someone has brought a wind-up phonograph on the safari and is merely playing a random jazz recording from their personal collection.
• As with most Tarzan movies, it is never explained how characters maintain perfectly quaffed hair and clean-shaven faces in the midst of a jungle that is labeled "uncharted territory" on a map as the film begins.

User reviews
Cheap and cheerful Tarzan film. Savaged by the critics... but it has a certain innocence, not to mention some unintended hilarity.
