The film's very existence was not without legal hurdles. As one might expect, the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs (who created the Tarzan character) took issue with this unauthorized and explicit adaptation. A lawsuit was brought against the filmmakers for misusing the copyrighted characters of Tarzan and Jane. However, D'Amato's production company, Butterfly Motion Pictures Production, successfully defended the case, and the filmmakers, for better or worse, got away with it.
Given this, the most plausible explanation is that the string refers to an from the mid-1990s, possibly released on VHS and later digitized by fans. No major studio (Disney, Warner Bros.) released a Tarzan film in 1995; Disney’s Tarzan came out in 1999.
It remains one of the most famous examples of the "parody" sub-genre from the mid-90s, often cited for the chemistry between its leads, who were a real-life couple at the time. Plot Summary
The rest of the film follows their adventures: learning to communicate (Tarzan speaks pidgin English), escaping from a second tribe of cannibals, and ultimately finding a form of love. Jane’s “shame” transforms from the disgrace of being a captive to the social shame of preferring a jungle savage over civilized men. The film ends with Jane choosing to stay with Tarzan, fully embracing her new life.
