Warner Home Video has announced the October 31st release of The Tarzan Collection Volume 2 (MSRP $39.92), which contains the last six Tarzan films featuring Johnny Weissmuller, the Olympic swimmer who made the role of Edgar Rice Burrough's jungle king his own.  These six films, which feature Brenda Joyce as Jane, were never available on videocassette and are new to DVD.

 

The first two films in the collection, Tarzan Triumphs (1943) and Tarzan's Desert Mystery (1943), were both made during World War II and, of course, the Ape-Man eventually joins the cause and helps put down the Axis.  In Tarzan and the Amazons (1945) Tarzan refuses to lead a group of anthropologists to an all-female tribe, but Boy does and Tarzan has to bail him out.

 

Tarzan has to take on an evil leopard cult in Tarzan and the Leopard Woman (1946), while he once again battles evil big game hunters in Tarzan and the Huntress (1947) and Weissmuller gets to show off his formidable aquatic skills in his farewell turn, Tarzan and the Mermaids (1948).
