Protraph Lack of good storyline.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Michael_Elliott Tarzan and the Leopard Woman (1946) ** (out of 4) The tenth film in Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan series is without question the dumbest so far as I'm sure a 5-year-old could have came up with a better plot. This time out people are being killed by what appears to be leopards but Tarzan isn't so sure. It turns out that a woman (Acquanetta) has grown tired of the changes going on in Africa so she's brought together hundreds of people who are dressing as leopards and attacking people. Yeah, once you stop laughing over this plot you're going to realize that there's really not too much going on in this film. At 72-minutes the film seems to drag on longer than ROOTS and for the life of me I can't wrap my brain around what the producers were thinking. The only possible explanation is that there wasn't any money left at RKO to hire someone to come up with a good story so they took the silliest thing they could come up with. The biggest problem is that the story is just so far-fetched that it's impossible to ever feel threatened by the killers. Their costumes are all rather silly and seeing dozens of men running around the jungle in these outfits just made one want to laugh. There's never any real drama, no suspenseful scenes and even the comedy bits with Cheetah are just downright weak and they never get a single laugh. Weissmuller, for the first time in the series, appears to be very bored as he doesn't give the character a bit of life and usually you can just see the joy coming out of the actor but that's not the case here. Brenda Joyce is back as Jane and offers up a decent performance but the screenplay doesn't offer her much. Johnny Sheffield is back as Boy and the most shocking thing is seeing how much he has grown since the previous movie, which was shot less than a year before this one. Acquanetta, best remember for playing Paula the Ape Woman in Universal's CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN, isn't given much of a role here but she at least looks good in her outfits. Tommy Cook plays a pretty important role as Kimba, a child spy but his character is so annoying that you really can't help but hate him and want to see Boy bash him into the ground. You can tell that RKO had pretty much given this thing as little attention as possible as the sets aren't nearly as good, the story poor and there's simply not an ounce of energy to be found anywhere in the picture. TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD WOMAN is a pretty bland movie from start to finish and what's even worse is how boring it is even in the Saturday-matinée feel.

sol ***SPOILERS*** Movie with a lot of heart in that to prove oneself in this far-out leopard cult lead by the head of the spotty outfit High Priestess Lea, Acquanetta, you have to kill a enemy and bring his or her heart back to her in order to prove your worthiness in being a member of it. The leopard men have being running around the jungle in their leopard outfits using what looks like steel clawed back-scratchers as weapons and killing anyone who happens to get close to their hangout a cave outside the jungle town of Bugandi.It's when a survivor of a leopard man attack makes it back alive to Zambezi that Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller, who together with Jane and Boy, Brenda Joyce & Johnny Sheffield, with their pet monkey Cheetha who was their looking for bargains at the local bazaar got involved in all this leopard business. Tarzan realized that the attacks that have been taking place around the town of Bugandi were not that of wild leopards but people who were trying to put the blame on the spotted creatures! That's in order to keep the town from becoming modernized! As we soon find out it's , besides High priestess Lea, the highly educated half Bugandian half Englishman Dr. Lazar, Edger Barrier, who's been organizing these deadly attacks in order to keep his hometown Bugandi pure and native and not corrupted by the evils of modern civilization.Tarzan does his usual vine swinging and diving act in the movie with Johnny Weissmuller looking a bit too old, at age 41, and somewhat flabby to really be convincing. Getting captured by the leopard men after trying to save four pretty teachers from Zambezi who were kidnapped by the cat people and slated to be sacrificed to the Leopard God it's again,like in almost all the Tarzan movies, the cute and mischievous monkey Cheetha using High Priestess Lea's' leopard claw looking back-scratcher who saved the day by freeing Tarzan just as he was about to be done in, together with Boy Jane and the four teachers, by the leopard men.***SPOILERS*** What in fact really did in High Priestess Lea and her leopard men was her bratty kid brother Kimba, Tommy Cook, who in trying to prove his worth, by killing an enemy of the clan and bringing back his heart, as a full fledged leopard man failed completely which had him and Dr. Lazer, the second in command of the leopard cult, turn on each other in the movies exciting final sequence. It's then that a freed, by his pet monkey Cheetha, Tarzan did in fact a Samson act by pulling the pillars that were holding up the cave, where the leopard men had their headquarters, down and thus finally putting an end to all this out and out jungle craziness!

DuDrop Here we go again. Ol' Tarz is just as dumb as can be in this entry of the series though he's in pretty good shape. Jane is on hand and is in better shape, as well as the kid, Boy, and of course, to guarantee laughter, is Cheeta, the chimp. This episode would be fun for kids about thirty years ago (pre-computers) but not for today's little hipsters. This reel is not even good for laughs but is good for bringing back memories of how naive we youngsters were. There is one sour note in this Tarzan feature. In darkest Africa the natives are oddly all white. It's bad enough that Tarzan and his family don't even have a tan but , come on, the indigenous natives? The old gag about the natives calling Tarzan "that crazy white man" hold true here along with one line about "monkey business." All in all, clean entertainment that the kids won't like.
