Hello, I'm doing a careful study of quality in mock busters and other kinds of knockoffs.
It's interesting to note that Asians and Europeans have produced and directed live action Tarzan movies, which are mostly decent knockoffs of the old Tarzan films.
My favourite Tarzan Knockoffs are the gory ones featuring has-been beefcake Barry Prima, his equally brazen female counterpart Wieke Widowati and a stuntman in his sun bear outfit. In 2 of these films, Tarzan has a local counterpart in Sumatran jungle-raised Tarzan boy Sambo (that's so confusing) and the characters accompanying them and rivalling them are also locals.
Until the mid-1990s, the most boring Tarzan Knockoffs were from Spain. Now, the worst Tarzan knockoff of all time is Dingo Pictures' Lord of The Jungle. The only named human characters of this story are fake John Clayton, fake Alice Rutherford Clayton, fake John Clayton Sr, Professor Bloomsdale, Linda Jane Bloomsdale, and William Stewart Clayton, as well as fake John and Linda Jane’s infant son, fake John Clayton Jr (who only made a simple, bare cameo).

Nowadays, the cruddiest live action Tarzan Mockbuster of all time comes from Nepal and is actually a creaky continuity reboot of Babbar Subhash’s Adventures of Tarzan, another so bad it’s steaming good Bollywood classic. In turn, the latter is loosely based upon all three official Tarzan films known as Tarzan, The Ape Man.
