Tarzan’s Three Challenges is another decent adventure from the classic character by Edgar Rice Burroughs and while I’ve never been a big fan of the character, these movies did tend to entertain just enough.

PLOT SYNOPSIS


“No stranger from Africa can turn the course of our destiny.” But never underestimate a stranger named Tarzan (JOCK MAHONEY). Over miles and obstacles, he will lead a young heir to Thailand’s spiritual throne to his ordination and undo warlord Khan’s (WOODY STRODE) plot to secure the title for his son. First however, the Ape-Man must prove to the heir that he is Tarzan by passing tests of skill, strength and wisdom. Ahead lies a still greater challenge: Tarzan vs. Khan in a bungee-jumping, sword-clanging, flame-dancing death duel.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0.5/5


The only feature is the Trailer (3:48).

 


VIDEO – 4.25/5, AUDIO – 4.0/5


Warner Brothers Home Entertainment releases Tarzan’s Three Challenges onto the Blu-ray format where it is presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and has been given a new 1080p high-definition transfer. The colors of the movie are pretty much in keeping with the era with looking boosted while they are still vibrant enough, particularly the reds in the clothing. Detail is fairly good and outside of some specs, it does appear pretty clean.

The movie includes a standard yet still effective DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track. Dialogue comes through with nice clarity and despite being a singular track, there is some solid depth during the “challeneges” Tarzan faces.


OVERALL – 3.0/5


Overall, Tarzan’s Three Challenges is another decent adventure from the classic character by Edgar Rice Burroughs and while I’ve never been a big fan of the character, these movies did tend to entertain just enough. This Blu-ray release from the Warner Archive Collection offers up respectable video and audio transfers.
