The subtitle is the film's thesis. In the 1995 script (a leaked copy of which floats on niche animation forums), Jane is not a love interest. She is an anthropologist having a nervous breakdown. Stranded after her expedition is massacred (off-screen, thank God), she finds Tarzan—voiced with a guttural, monosyllabic growl by a stuntman who clearly smoked three packs a day before recording).
Why does Tarzan-X still pop up in film discussions decades later? For many, it represents the peak of 1990s Italian exploitation. It’s a silly, lighthearted, and overtly erotic take on a literary icon that doesn't take itself too seriously. Whether you view it as a piece of film history or a guilty pleasure, it remains one of the most recognizable titles in the Joe D’Amato filmography. tarzanxshameofjane1995engl high quality high quality
