Tarzan and Cobra

About This Movie

So, "Tarzan and Cobra" from '87 is quite the curious entry in the jungle adventure genre. You’ve got Prof. Ram Dayal and his crew diving into the depths of the jungle, chasing after this treasure of the Cobra Tribe. The dynamic with Tarzan snatching away Leena adds an interesting twist—like, it’s not just about the treasure but also about survival and the clash of cultures. The pacing can feel a bit off at times, but it has a charm, especially with its practical effects that evoke a certain nostalgia. And let’s not forget Jojo and Bakona, who add a touch of comedic relief as the bumbling crooks. It's not your typical Tarzan flick, which makes it stand out in a way that's almost refreshing.

This film is a bit of a rarity in the Tarzan collection, not just due to its unique storyline and production but also because information on it is sparse. It’s been released in various formats, but finding a quality copy can be tricky, which adds to its collector allure. Interest seems to be growing among enthusiasts who appreciate its blend of adventure and lightheartedness, alongside its nostalgia factor from the 80s.
