In Tarzan’s Secret Treasure it’s not ivory that the villains of this entry are after this time out, now it’s gold they want and Boy’s innocence could spell disaster. In Tarzan Finds a Son! Jane and Tarzan adopt a baby that survived a plane crash, and when relatives come looking for the kid five years later things get a bit tense. In Tarzan’s Revenge a group of rich Americans come to Africa to get some animals for their zoo, gold medalist Eleanor Holm must fend off an idiot fiancé and an evil sultan until Tarzan eventually shows up. They do get the really sweet tree-house in this outing. In Tarzan Escapes Jane’s cousins show up to take her back to civilization. Jane’s naked underwater swim makes this a fan favourite.
In Tarzan and His Mate, another safari to the Elephant’s Graveyard finds Tarzan and Jane at odds with her English friends. It’s here where Johnny Weissmuller began his long run as the titular ape man. In Tarzan, the Ape Man Jane visits her father in Africa as they hunt for the mythical elephant graveyard when Tarzan enters the mix things get ugly. Click on the links or posters below to check out all my reviews of the world’s most cinematic ape man. Over the past year, I’ve been reviewing Tarzan movies for this site – a labour of love if ever there was one – and I welcome all fans of Tarzan to join me on this journey across time, as we look back at the many tales of Tarzan the Ape Man that have been brought to the big screen. In 1918 Elmo Lincoln was the first to play the iconic ape man but it was in 1932 when MGM released Tarzan the Ape Man with Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O’Sullivan that Tarzan became a true box office star and began the true cinematic journey of the world’s most famous ape man. When Edgar Rice Burroughs first published Tarzan of the Apes back in 1912 film adaptations would have probably been the farthest thing from his mind, but one hundred years later movies are still being made about his most popular creation – only the likes of Dracula, Godzilla, and Sherlock Holmes are in Tarzan’s league when it comes to filmographies – and many notable actors have appeared in his films.
