The title actually promises something a little out of the ordinary, but Tarzan's three challenges are over in a matter of a few minutes (!) (until a fourth one at the end), and the movie goes down the tired jungle-trek route instead. Jock Mahoney is physically well-suited to the part of Tarzan, but his performance is a little wooden; Woody Strode is an imposing villain (he was 49 at the time, but still in excellent shape), but their climactic fight does not quite live up to expectations. The production values are solid, but the story is uninspired. ** out of 4.
