This is the first movie of the Tarzan series re-introducing Jane, after Maureen O'Sullivan's final run with Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942), which came out 3 years prior . Jane is now played by actress Brenda Joyce, who looks quite different from Maureen O'Sullivan. She is even blonde! However no mention whatsoever is made of her different appearance and radical change in personality. It is unclear why her hair wasn't dyed black to make the transition smoother on the audiences. Joyce would play Jane a total of five times.
This is the first Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan which doesn't feature the famous yodeling yell; neither from Tarzan himself, nor the altered versions from Jane nor Boy. When Jane is in trouble stuck below a tree, she simply calls out "Tarzan!"
Maria Ouspenskaya, who plays the crone-like high priestess of the Amazons, was in many of the best remembered films of the 1930s and 40s, including Dodsworth, The Rains Came and Conquest, but she was most memorably cast as "Maleva," the old Gypsy woman who explains his curse to Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney, Jr) in 1941's The Wolf Man.
The footage of a male lion climbing a fallen tree to threaten Jane in this film was also used in a previous RKO Tarzan film, for a scene in which Tarzan rescues a Nazi from a stalking lion.
Returning after a several film absence, the character of Jane is played here by Brenda Joyce, replacing Maureen O'Sullivan, who had left the Tarzan films when RKO took over the franchise from M-G-M. Joyce would go on to play Jane in four subsequent Tarzan movies, then find herself frequently typecast as a jungle adventuress for the rest of her film career.
"Tarzan: Every time men bring guns, men bring trouble."
"Tarzan: Queen make wise laws, girl will obey."
