Tarzan in European Cinema

Let’s look at the films featuring Steve Hawkes and Jose Luis Ayestaran (aka Richard Yesteran) as Tarzan! 

The first film that Steve Hawkes appeared as Tarzan was in Tarzan and the golden Grotto, a campy part time Mockbuster set in the then contemporary Sexual Revolution. Tarzan and the Brown Prince was its sequel which got released three years later, in 1972.

Tarzan and the Jungle Mystery was even more vacuous. Made in 1973, it was filmed in the Ivory Coast with Richard Yesteran as a pretty but dull Tarzan closely resembling the variant of Joe Kubert. Its sequel was Tarzan and the Treasure of Kawana, which was released in 1977 but made three years earlier.
