In the mid-90s, the "Tarzan" franchise was riding high, thanks in part to the success of Disney's animated film "The Jungle Book" (1967) and the more recent live-action films starring Lex Barker and Elmo Lincoln. However, not all "Tarzan" films received the same level of attention or acclaim. One such film is "Tarzan-X: Shame of Jane," a low-budget, straight-to-video sequel that attempted to revive the classic franchise. Released in 1995, this film has largely been forgotten, but it still holds a certain charm and interest for fans of the "Tarzan" series. Nature (and the Reverse) | Tarzan‑X is nature
