Here’s a concise review based on its content, production values, and place in adult cinema history.
Tarzan X: Shame of Jane is a trashy, time-capsule curiosity. It's not "good" in any conventional sense, but as a piece of adult cinema history—featuring a major porn star in a high-concept parody—it's oddly fascinating. Watch it for Rocco's commitment and the unintentional laughs, but keep your expectations (and your moral compass regarding its offensive elements) firmly in check.
For this production, D'Amato pulled together a team to bring his vision to life. The screenplay was written by George Hudson, the cinematography was handled by Federico Slonisko, and the original music was composed by Piero Montanari.
