Heroic Sacrifice: One of the chimps distracts a charging rhino in order to save Jane, and gets stomped to death in the process.Of course, as the dialogue makes clear, the presence of outsiders is the only reason she cares. Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen: Naturally, Cheeta snatches up Jane's dress while she's skinnydipping with Tarzan, leading to a scene where Jane has to get the dress back.Going Native: It's clear right off the bat that Jane is all-in on living in the jungle when she is introduced answering Tarzan's "ah-aaah aah aah" yodel with one of her own.Later he kills an elephant to find his way to the graveyard, and still later he tries to kill Tarzan. We first see this when he murders a reluctant porter, an act that shocks even Holt, who himself seems to regard the porters as little more than pack animals. Everything's Better with Monkeys: Cheeta the chimpanzee provides comic relief, like when she tries on the fancy dresses brought for Jane.After he refuses to lead them, Arlington shoots an elephant and the party follows the elephant as it makes its way to the graveyard to die. Tarzan is appalled when he is told why he's been asked to guide them through the jungle. Elephant Graveyard: What Holt and Arlington want to find, for the priceless ivory.This motivates them to run for the escarpment rather than stand and fight as Pierce and Van Ness did. Holt and Arlington later find the corpses of Pierce and Van Ness hanging from trees. Dead Guy on Display: The reason that Holt has to depend on Tarzan in the first place is that two other white explorers, Pierce and Van Ness, steal his map.Darkest Africa: The "Mutia Escarpment" is a ridgeline that marks the boundary of an area where "no white man" has ever been except for Holt, who still needs Tarzan to help him get there.Over the course of the film Tarzan has to rescue her from a lion, a cheetah, a crocodile, and a rhino. Damsel in Distress: Jane tends to serve this role a lot, when she isn't providing Fanservice.Clothing Damage: Naturally, when Jane puts on a dress it's only for the skirt to get caught and torn while she's trying to climb a tree to escape from a rhino.The Cavalry: The safari is about to get wiped out by hostile apes in the mountains when Tarzan appears and saves it.Jane goes to her father's grave, removes a bracelet that was buried just under the surface next to the grave, and gives it to Tarzan. Call-Back: To the death of Jane's father at the same elephant graveyard in the first Tarzan movie, Tarzan, the Ape Man.A great pre-Code title! Â Poster has been touched up in blank upper margin and lower margin, VERY GOOD. Â Olympic champ Josephine McKim did the actual nude swim for O'Sullivan, but the openly flirtatious and sexual - yet innocent - relationship enacted between O'Sullivan and Weismuller remains extremely appealing today, and makes the film, with all its wonderful adventure, highly watchable and highly collectible. Filmed in several versions (clothed, partially nude and fully nude), the scene was fully cut from the film later that year it was not until the late-1990s that it was found and restored. It contained the still-controversial nude swim scene, which could be shown during the initial April 1934 release. Â This is also the sexiest of the titles, with O'Sullivan in her two-piece jungle wear and Weissmuller in his abbreviated loin cloth. The best and the most loved of the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan series, which ran from 1932 through 1942 at MGM with the lovely O'Sullivan as Jane, and then continued at RKO between 19.
