Crucified Hero Shot | |
| Tarzans Fight For Life / int_13e3985d | comment |
Crucified Hero Shot: This was plastered all over the promotional material for the film, referencing a portion of the movie where Tarzan is capture, and his hands are bound to a wooden yoke and stretched away from his body, mirroring crucifixion. Bonus points for the fact that Tarzan was also forced to walk this way, mirroring someone carrying a cross as well. | |

Hulk Speak | |
| Tarzans Fight For Life / int_5a59b3a1 | comment |
Hulk Speak: Tarzan and most of the Hollywood Natives speak in broken English. Because this film was followed up by Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure, where he was a fluent Cunning Linguist, much like the original novels, it was the last film to see Tarzan use hulk speak until the early 80s’. | |

Hollywood Natives | |
| Tarzans Fight For Life / int_6a36abe2 | comment |
Hollywood Natives: The movie does fall victim to some stereotypes. The film also goes out of it’s way to condemn superstitious and uncivilized beliefs rather than properly exploring cultures through Worldbuilding. The vast majority of native characters were mere Mooks. The film does deserve some credit from having a variety of good and evil characters rather than a simple Cannibal Tribe or Noble Savages. Even modern films struggle with the latter. Unfortunate bonus points for how it depicted the “Little people” tribe. | |

Earthy Barefoot Character | |
| Tarzans Fight For Life / int_8ddd2bb5 | comment |
Earthy Barefoot Character: Most of the natives as well as Tarzan and Tartu, like any good jungle heroes, go barefoot the whole movie. Subverted with Jane, who wears sandals, despite being a Jungle Princess by this point. | |

Tribal Carry | |
| Tarzans Fight For Life / int_c0c460b4 | comment |
Tribal Carry: (Subverted) When Tarzan was captured, he was tied to a wooden frame, and shortly there after, only Tarzan’s arms and neck fastened in a wooden yoke allowing him to walk. He was then taken to the Donjon of the Golden Lion and kept there hanging in the yoke for several hours without much of a problem. | |

Jungle Opera | |
| Tarzans Fight For Life / int_f4101e11 | comment |
Jungle Opera: This film takes place in a hostile jungle with outsider characters with an exciting race against the clock. The film also goes out of it’s way to highlight a motif of science versus superstition, which is one of the reoccurring themes of Jungle Opera as a subgenre of Science Fiction. | |
