The Jungle Jim franchise was so prolific because they relied so heavily on stock footage and standing sets -- that way you could shoot them incredibly quickly
Alligators and caimans are routinely substituted for crocodiles in movies because they're considerably less aggressive and easier to manage. It's pretty incongruous seeing the stock footage of actual crocodiles and then switching to alligators when the actors show up.
@@KRhetor The original Tarzan movies featured Indian elephants (borrowed from circuses) with large prosthetic ears glued on to them so they would LOOK like African elephants.
I saw this one on TV when I was a kid, and for years wondered how such an obviously low budget production made the man-ape look so big. Then with the use of imdb, I found out the actor really was over 8 feet tall.
Max Palmer and according to Wikipedia's entry on him he was 7 feet eight inches and was called "the world's largest Christian". I guess someone had to be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Palmer
Do you think you could review the 1977 adaptation of Island of Doctor Moreau? I think it's a great movie, in my opinion! Ooh, or how about Orca: The Killer Whale, the Jaws rip-off by Dino De Laurentis? I mean, you can clearly tell in some scenes with the whale, he's in a tank at Sea World or something. And in a couple of shots with the animatronic whale, the rubber of the bottom jaw is clearly seen falling off due to trhe mouth being filled with water!! Whichever one you decide, I'll be very happy to hear your thoughts, regardless. :D
Omfg I had completely forgotten about jungle jim! Maybe you could tackle some of the Charlie Chan movies too? Some absolutely fantastic old time racism in them, the lead was played my many actors. All white lol.

With a little rewriting, this could have been a great vehicle for Abbot and Costello.
All the children sing'
''Heyyy Jungle Jim,
What did you kill,
Jungle Jim?
Hey Jungle Jim,
What did you kill,
Jungle Jim?''
1:44 "It was a lewd gesture now that I think about it"
The Deadly Man-Ape (aka M'Baku) ended up being my favorite character in Black Panther.
The Man-Ape from THIS movie looked like ''Trog''.
Here's an error you missed out: the episode supposedly takes place in Africa, yet the "crocodiles" are clearly Mississippi alligators.

Can you do all the JJ films?
He had an incongruously high voice, but also couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.
Yeah... I wish I hadn't seen this, he's my fave Tarzan. Ouch!!
I grew up watching Jungle Jim episodes on TV. They don’t stand up well to time.

Please - no more Jungle Jim films. Let's just remember Johnny as the best Tarzan ever.
Michael Bailes I disagree , I like wisemiller but, Gordon Scott made a great Tarzan.
Consider reviewing Jesse James meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966).
That is on our list. Stay tuned.
A proto Eegah ?
Greg palmer played the killer ape. He is seen in many b films. I could be wrong but I think he is around 7 feet.

Columbia back-lot "Africa"
I remember Jungle Jim. Some were quite fun and some bleh. This isn't one of the best and Weismuller wasn't a great actor.
do day of triffids
The Jungle Jim series sucked rocks.
Dude, you're reviewing a movie with the same target demographic as the Power Rangers. I think you expected way too much from it.
I think the worst/goofiest/cheeses movies or episodes like this was ramar of the jungle
also uhh the wise man in the robes sure looks like a white man in brownface and taped back eyelids :/
i might be wrong... i hope so
Oh good lord there's how many of these crapy movies…ive lost faith in humanity yet again.
