    • Trivia
      First Tarzan film to be shot in Africa, where it was set.
    • Goofs
      53 minutes into the film one of the African tribesman is seen from behind, and on the shield he is holding can be seen the word "TOP", presumably for the extra to hold the prop correctly.
    • Quotes

      Commissioner Peters: An arrogant sort of devil. No respect for his own people and envy of the whites. And he shares the vices of both!

    Lex Barker has a new Jane in each Tarzan' s picture!!!
    Strangely the RKO's producers provide a new Jane in an each Lex Barker's Tarzan, I really want to know such discrepancy, Virginia Huston is redhead, thus unable for the role, due all previous were black hair, but speaking the truth who cares anyway, she is sexy, the summarized plot is about a smugglers who intent selling fire guns to an ambitious native's King, the strong presence of George Macready spoke for himself, he fits prefect as evil man, the nearest Ashuba tribe's Queen played by the gorgeous Dorothy Dandridge is another high point, the King Bulam wants marry Queen Melmendi to rules the whole territory, shot in Africa many sequences blended later with the soundstage studio is easily noticed and improve the production, a slight accent of humor from the usual Cheetah, fine Sunday matinee!!!

    Resume:

    First watch: 1978 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-VHS-DVD / Rating: 6.5
