Gungala, Virgin of the Jungle (1967)

Jungle Adventure. Italy. Starring Kitty Swan. Directed by Romano Ferrara.

Video Show (Venezuela). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Great "female Tarzan" flick with the lovely Kitty Swan, the queen of the jungle gals! 4/5

Tarzan and the Brown Prince (1972)

Original title: Tarzán y el Arco Iris

Jungle adventure. Spain/Italy/Philippines. Starring Steve Hawkes, Kitty Swan & Peter Lee Lawrence. Directed by Manuel Caño.

VTC (Sweden). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

The follow-up to Zan, King of the Jungle, again starring the great screen-couple Steve Hawkes and Kitty Swan. It's a very special jungle film with some great scenes, but it's not on pair with the first film. There's a sad reason for this. Steve and Kitty were badly burned in an accident during the shooting and the producers (desperate for something to release?) decided to add a new story about a little black kid trying to prove himself to his tribe. Those sequences are not bad but takes up too much of the film's running time, needless to say there's too little Tarzan/jungle girl action. Despite its for natural reasons uneveness i'd say this is the next best spanish Tarzan ripp off (which is hardly saying much to most people). 3/5

Zan, King of the Jungle (1969)

Original title: Tarzán en la Gruta del Oro

Jungle adventure. Spain/Italy/Puerto Rico. Starring Steve Hawkes, Kitty Swan, Krista Nell, Jesús Puente, Fernando Sancho, Raf Baldassarre & Ugo Sasso. Directed by Manuel Caño.

VTC (Sweden). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

The first, and best of the string of cheap, unauthorized Tarzan films that was produced in Spain during the late 60s/early 70s (here Tarzan was called Zan in most countries due to legal matters). Great fun all the way - Steve Hawkes is the coolest Tarzan, Kitty Swan the best jungle girl, the music is great and everything moves a long at fast pace (Umberto Lenzi's script throws in everything from amazons too men in gorilla suits). Recommended. 4/5

Gungala, the Naked Panther (1968)

Original title: Gungala la Pantera Nuda

Jungle adventure. Italy. Starring Kitty Swan. Directed by Ruggero Deodato.

Video Art (Greece). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Compared to the first Gungala this is a pretty weak and charmfree film. But it's got jungle gal numero uno, Kitty Swan, semi-naked in the jungle and of course that makes up for a lot of its shortcomings. 3/5

Gungala, Virgin of the Jungle (1967)

Jungle Adventure. Italy. Starring Kitty Swan. Directed by Romano Ferrara.

Toshiba/Herald Videogram (Japan). Italian with japanese subtitles. Letterboxed.

Great "female Tarzan" flick with the lovely Kitty Swan, the queen of the jungle gals! 4/5
