Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

JohnHowardReid Executive producer: Edgar Rice Burroughs. A Burroughs-Tarzan Enterprises Production. Not copyrighted. No recorded New York opening. U.S. release through Principal Productions: 3 June 1938. U.K. release through Associated British Film Distributors. 72 minutes.SYNOPSIS: After recovering the idol called the Green Goddess from the Dead City, Tarzan and his friends begin the arduous trek back to civilization. After many adventures, they finally reach Greystoke Manor where it seems certain Tarzan will soon wed Ula Vale. NOTES: Number 14 of the 46-picture "Tarzan" series. COMMENT: A cutdown of the last half of the twelve-chapter serial, The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935), which goes some way towards explaining the film's jerky continuity (which is occasionally awkwardly bridged by inter-titles, though there still remain some odd gaps in the narrative). Kull's direction is nothing special and no great strains are placed on the acting skills of the cast. Mr Bennett's performance is more physical than mental, Miss Holt is reasonably attractive, and Mr Sargent contributes a bit of slapstick fun. The other players are no more than serviceable. Behind-the-camera personnel likewise rate as slightly behind the Hollywood norm. Still, for all its technical shortcomings, this Tarzan is a lively movie with plenty of pace and action filmed against real backgrounds in Gautemala (sometimes ill-matched with obvious African stock footage). If the Boys' Own story seems somewhat juvenile and the characterizations never more than rudimentary, it must be remembered that the film was produced by none other than Edgar Rice Burroughs himself in an attempt to show his public exactly how Tarzan should be portrayed on the screen. Bruce Bennett's Tarzan is no illiterate ape man, but a well-spoken, literate daredevil, actively championing the causes of world peace and justice. True, physically, he's almost superhuman in his ability to survive various perils virtually unscathed, but this cliffhanger excitement is part and parcel of Burroughs' books. And here it all comes to grand action finale on board a storm-tossed sailing ship. That episode alone is worth the price of admission.

Ben Larson Talk about recycling! As a Zorro fanatic, I have watched a couple of the old serials that used to show in movie theaters. You had to come back every Saturday to see the next part of the story. The original 12-part serial, The New Adventures of Tarzan, was re-edited into two movies, this being one of them.The most interesting thing about this movie is the star, Bruce Bennett, or as he was known then, Herman Brix. Brix was given this role after losing out on a previous film, Tarzan the Ape Man, which cast an unknown BVD underwear model, Johnny Weissmuller. A shoulder injury prevented Brix from getting this role. The rest is, as they say, history. Weissmuller went on to be the greatest Tarzan of all time, and Brix had to eventually drop out of acting, take acting lessons and change his name before returning.

wes-connors This is the second of two feature-length films re-edited from the original 12-chapter serial titled "The New Adventures of Tarzan" (1935). Neither film is technically edited well, but they do tell individual stories. Muscularly handsome Herman Brix, later known professionally as Bruce Bennett, is an appropriately athletic Tarzan. Our hero is much more cultured than he appears in the MGM Johnny Weissmuller films; he has discovered his noble British identity, and occasionally returns to the jungle for new adventures.This "sequel" begins with the group attending a costume party (dressed as gypsies) at Tarzan's estate.Previously, "Tarzan" and his friends concluded their search for an ancient relic known as "The Green Goddess" (among other things). Herein, we learn how this relic was then stolen, by dastardly Don Castello (as Raglan). He had been interested in the relic from the previous feature - for nefarious reasons, of course; the statue came with a secret formula (worth millions). "Don Castello" is a pseudonym for the serial's producer, Ashton Dearholt. Lewis Sargent (as George) has the most notable supporting role.*** Tarzan and the Green Goddess (2/27/38) Edward Kull ~ Bruce Bennett, Ula Holt, Ashton Dearholt, Lewis Sargent

omnied This was a truly dreadful film. Although it was allegedly set in Guatemala, one of the first shots was of a rhino, followed by lions, and giraffes at a watering hole. Bruce Bennett did not have the physique to carry off the role of Tarzan, which did make it more believable when he kept getting knocked unconscious. His yell reminded me more of a fire siren going off. The plot set up the obligatory crocodile wrestling match, and then did not follow through. About the only redeeming feature was Ula, the Jane substitute. She was a strong, independent character who participated and didn't just faint at the first sign of danger. Spoiler spaceAt several points, she was the one who rescued Tarzan, rather than the other way around.
