ZAN: KING OF THE JUNGLE 1968 (TUBI)

One of a few Tarzan films starring Steve Hawkes as the title character.

This is also known as "Tarzan In The Golden Grotto" and imagine my surprise seeing this on streaming!!

Umberto Lenzi co-wrote this Spanish adventure film with a very simple plot. Tarzan vows to help a tribe of Amazon women protect their treasure of gold from two hunters who want the gold at all costs.

I can't help but think of blood drinking turkey monsters when I see Hawkes, and that's a shame as he does a very good job as Tarzan. He is certainly built for the role and can handle the physical activity required.

The film looks beautiful and the plot moves along quickly. I especially liked the ape monster that is guarding the gold of the Amazons. There are plenty of beautiful women to look at in this movie as is usually the case with Spanish cinema.

If you're a Tarzan fan you will want to check this movie out. The rest of the cast includes Kitty Swan, Krista Nell, Ugo Sasso, Fernando Sancho and Luis Marin.

A recommended film from me, a Tarzan fan forever.
