Before the “blue” parodies, the real Tarzan films defined jungle adventure. Start here for genuine classic cinema.
The name "Tarzan," created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912, evokes images of a chiseled, loincloth-clad noble savage swinging through the canopy. However, beneath the veneer of family-friendly adventures (Johnny Weissmuller, 1930s-40s) lies a shadow cinematic history: the "Blue Film Tarzan." These unauthorized, sexually explicit parodies emerged in the late 1960s and peaked during the Golden Age of Porn (1970s). This paper argues that the "blue Tarzan" subgenre is a critical lens through which to understand the legal battles, distribution networks, and aesthetic codes of vintage erotica. It then offers a broader guide to classic erotic and exploitation films for the discerning vintage cinema enthusiast. video blue film tarzan x extra quality
Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
Tarzan Escapes (1936)
Tarzan’s New York Adventure (1942)
Part of the "Olga" exploitation series. These women-in-prison films are direct ancestors of Blue Film Tarzan thinking: take a recognizable genre (jungle/fight) and inject sleaze. No actual sex, but immense violence and nudity. Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
A classic "roughie" – a crime melodrama with explicit nudity. It follows a starlet’s downfall. Unlike the jungle blue films, this is urban, gritty, and features the first wave of post-Hays Code experimentation.
For those who want explicit themes within a “legitimate” cinematic language.
First, let’s clarify the terminology. In vintage slang, a "Blue Film" refers to an illegal, clandestinely produced adult movie, typically from the 1920s through the 1960s, before the legalization of pornography. These were grainy, silent, or poorly dubbed reels shown in "smokers" (private men’s clubs) or traveling carnival tents.
So, was there an actual Tarzan blue film? No—and yes. Tarzan Escapes (1936)
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan’s creator, was famously litigious. He protected his ape-man like a hawk. No major studio would risk a pornographic parody. However, the spirit of the "Blue Film Tarzan" exists in what were known as "nudist camp" and "wild jungle" exploitation films. These movies featured look-alike actors (think "Bomba the Jungle Boy" or "Tarzana the Wild Woman") performing soft-core jungle hijinks. They promised the forbidden: seeing a "wild man" and "native women" uncensored by the Hays Code.

When collectors search for "Blue Film Tarzan," they are often looking for these rare, pre-1970 exploitation reels where the jungle setting was an excuse for titillation.
