Tarzan Loses His Cage-Match to the Hays Code
The Hays Code brought the Tarzan Series down from Adult Adventure to Teen Adventure (this one) to the Kiddie Adventures to come after.“Tarzan Escapes” was made prior to the Hays Code but was released after it took effect and therein is the Problem with the Third in the Series. It Suffers from Extended Reshoots and Editing the “Good Stuff”.
Although the Movie does Retain a bit of the Jungle Violence, the Nasty Natives of Previous Entries, and a Few Scenes of Terror, it Loses the Pre-Code Edge and is Replaced with some Clunky Scenes (Tarzan walking zombie like with depression and extended Cheetah shenanigans).
Overall, the Story of Tarzan being Caged and put on Exhibition is a Nervous Anxiety and some Safari Scenes Impress, the much Talked About Ju-Ju is Only Talked About.
After this, when the Hays Code and “Boy” showed up, the Series fell into a “Flintstones” Frolic that can at times be Witnessed in this one. The Beginning of the End for Tarzan as an Adult Adventure.
Bad title
This may in fact have been the first movie in history to be the third installment in a series. It wasn’t until much later that numbered sequels would even be applied to movies. I really do not like the title because it implies that Tarzan is captured and then he escapes from the city like King Kong. He is in fact captured in this movie, but he immediately escapes and it’s pretty irrelevant to the rest of the movie. Anyway, this was still nice. I think my favorite bit would probably be how the sets still look great. I believe they used actual animals for this and it shows.I admit the plot could be better. It features Jane’s cousin trying to bring her back to the city. It really is nice to see how this connects to the previous two films. It’s not that much of a direct continuation, but still good. It’s great to see all the characters and settings the original two movies had. While not a classic, it’s still pretty enjoyable. It just has a very humble feeling to it and it’s nice to see such an iconic star like Johnny Weismuller in such an iconic role. ***
