*** THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS *** Joe D'amato's forray into X-rated features during the 90s is well know to adult film fans as well as those who recall the film-maker's numerous ventures into various different motion picture territories. TARZAN-X deserves mention for being entirely shot in Kenya as well as achieving some notoriety when the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs unsurprisingly attempted to bring a lawsuit against it they failed. The woman are all of the strikingly beautiful variety, and there's certainly plenty of sex here, although the story is very light and silly. The film stars the hard-working Rocco Siffredi as the Ape Man, and although he doesn't have much charisma he looks the part. Jane is on an expedition in Africa when she meets up with Tarzan and falls in love with him she brings him back to Britain, where culture shock sets in. And sex is the only thing it has going for it really. In any case, this is your usual cheap porn movie, a retelling of the classic Tarzan with added sex. I guess mainstream cinema had run dry for the director by that stage (with a few exceptions such as FRANKENSTEIN 2000) and he instead found profit in grot. TARZAN-X: SHAME OF JANE is one of the many porno movies churned out by Italian exploitation king director Joe D'Amato during the 1990s. Gore 0/5 Nudity 4/5 Effects 0/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

But I agree that it is watchable for couples, no roughness at all and just straight love scene's. Maybe it's me but I stick to the real classics from the seventies and as being a horror buff I love the roughies made back then. Being over 20 years in the jungle he could talk English very well. But what annoyed me was the simplicity of the script, Jane walks away from her tent camp and comes across Tarzan.

I must agree with the fact that there are a lot of beautiful women in this and they all go full frontal before Tarzan (Rocco Siffredi) because he was learned to make love by, you guessed it, Jane (Rosa Caracciolo), in fact both were a couple.

I know him as a horror buff from his classics made (Buio Omega (1979)) but I knew that he like for example Jess Franco made XXX flicks.

I came across this due the fact that Joe D'Amato directed this. Maybe it's me but I have seen the real classics from the heydays and this is isn't comparable with them. The acting for a hard core was okay but the story itself was laughable. Strange, the flick I saw was for me a bit boring.
