Shocking + thrilling scene


As mentioned before, Johnny Weissmuller looks incredible in this film, as he had toned his body to its best shape in almost 10 years. Likewise, ardent Tarzan fans would notice Tarzan's loincloth was trimmed to its briefest form since Tarzan Escapes.

Stunningly, Tarzan is attacked and captured by a half-dozen leopard men wearing steel claws. He is brought to the leopard cave where he is bound to a support beam before the cult's beautiful queen, Lea. When Tarzan refuses to give information to Lea as to the whereabouts of her brother, she retrieves a sharpened claw and slowly approaches Tarzan's already heavily scratched physique, with the intention of clawing Tarzan's chest open.

This had to be very shocking and thrilling at the time for fans of the series to not only see Tarzan physically and helplessly submissive, but also imminently about to tortured dominatrix style by a beautiful female.

This scene always thrills and shocks me, no matter how many times I have seen it.
You have a very buff Johnny Weissmuller tied to a post with nasty scars on his body from his fight with the leopard men.
Then you have the gorgeous Acquanetta slowly ,seductively approaching him with the claw prepared to torture Tarzan and leave more scars on his powerful chest.
The sexual tension and sight of the powerful Tarzan and sexy Lea make for an amazing scene. The tension is awesome. Before Lazar enters ,it looks like Tarzan's chest will be scarred!
This is one of the most adult and sexiest scenes in the Weissmuller series.
Johnny looked fantastic at age 41 and Acquanetta was one of the sexiest women to appear in a Tarzan film.
