This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Johnny Weissmuller's physique was incredible in this film. The 41 year old Weissmuller had trained and worked out his body to it's best since the MGM days. His pecs are huge and his abs nicely cut and defined. RKO obviously noticed as they cut his loincloth down to it's scimpiest in years. Johnny's newfound athletic prowess found him getting into more physical scenes such as wrestling Tongolo, fighting the leopard men and being heavily scarred by their claws and being tied to a post with his awesome body on display to the luscious Lea (Acquanetta). Equally lovely is Brenda Joyce as Jane. The scene where Lea confronts Tarzan with her claw is very erotic and chilling. Tarzan has never faced such evil torture before in a film. Johnny is up for the challenge,however with his spectacular torso. Easily the best of the RKO Tarzans.

***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!

I was 7 when I ran 2 miles to see this film. It was an 'A' so I had to ask an adult to take me in ( Would you do that today?) It was a terrific film and frightened me to death. I ran all the way home looking over my shoulder. Although I have seen other Tarzan films this was the best. There has never been an actor who could yodel like Weismuller . Whatever happened to Boy did he appear in any other movies? As a child I was always worried that Tarzan would fall as he swung through the jungle. He never seemed to test the creepers before using them. I wish this super film would appear on TV today. The scenery may have been a bit shaky in parts and the wildlife tame but it was a really enjoyable film and made a lasting impression on me. When ever someone asks me my favorite film I always answer Tarzan and the leopard Women.

MY favorite of the Johnny Weisemuller Tarzan movies, contains great B-movie over-the-top performances and classic lines. The Tarzan family's shopping trip to Zambezi is cut short by the arrival of a bloodied,dying man, the only survivor of a caravan apparently attacked by leopards. But the Jungle Man knows something is not quite right. "Man not killed by Leopard" he declares, pointing out that leopards use not just their claws but their teeth to kill. Challenged by skeptics to give an alternative explanation, he responds with the classic line "Something Leopard that isn't Leopard". That something is this freakish cult of Leopard people,who enjoy dressing up in animal skins, attacking people, and ripping out their hearts to sacrifice to their god. They are led by Lea (Aquanetta) (based loosely on the character of the high priestess "La" in the Tarzan novels) and her lover, Lazar, a proto-environmentalist?- who is obsessed with stamping out civilization - a great "over-the-top performance by Edgar Barrier.("Away with them! Down with them!")But the character to watch is "Kimba" Lea's brother, deliciously portrayed by Tommy Cook - as a conniving, sadistic little creep, who despises Lazar and harbors a not-so-secret lust for his sister and for Jane, the "lady with golden hair". Taunted by his friends for his pretentiousness,Kimba boasts "When I come back,I will show you a heart". Kimba ingratiates himself into the Tarzan family, then turns on the unsuspecting Jane and Boy declaring "Now I take back TWO hearts". It stretches credulity when the bumbling Boy temporarily overpowers the clever and calculating Kimba.Tarzan knows more about the ways of the jungle and its inhabitants than anyone, so of course NO ONE in the movie takes his warnings seriously until another caravan is attacked, and the "Zambezi maidens" (student teachers who have been hired to civilize the natives)are captured, along with the entire Tarzan family, and all are bound and prepared for sacrifice to the leopard god. Following classic adventure movie logic, the leopard folks bind Tarzan to the main support beam of their temple, providing him (with the aid of the ever-helpful Cheetah)not only with the opportunity to escape but to literally bring down the house. In a final moment of dramatic retribution, the dying Kimba finally gets his coveted heart - Lazar's heart.As a kid, I just loved this movie, and I wish it were available on video or DVD. Does anyone know if it is going to be released?
