Tarzan lost it!

Damn! I mean, Jane and Boy got grabbed by the bad guys before, and Tarzan certainly got very aggravated, but he really went over the top this time! It's bad enough Cheetah and Boy both gunned down a couple of Nazis, and a baby elephant even shoved a Nazi over a cliff. But Tarzan went nuts! He threw two or three guys to their doom. Beat another Nazi to death. Then psychologically tormented the head Nazi before tricking him into being eaten by a lion. The most disturbing part- Tarzan grabbing a bunch of guns (which he hated) and then passing them out to the natives while exhorting them to, "Kill Nazis"! Holy macaroni and cheese! Jane goes away for a couple of weeks and Tarzan completely loses it!

Completely unTarzan and since when would Jane leave Tarzan to help out with the war? Can you imagine her telling him about why she needs to go?

"The war is happening in Europe!"

"War?"

"Yes Tarzan, a terrible man named Hitler wants to rule the world, they need everyone to help and that includes me"

"Jane must go?"

"Yes dear, it is my patriot duty, you and boy must stay here"

OH I can't go on, I think this lost it the moment O'Sullivan left.

Totally agree. This Tarzan film broke the rules and should be called "slapstick in the jungle".
