Tarzan and the Green Goddess (1935) [Action] [Adventure]

Posted on by womo



Different people search for different reason for “The Green Goddess”, the Guatemalan idol. A friend of Tarzan, D’Arnot, has crashed in Guatemala and is now held by a jungle tribe. Two other expeditions, one lead by Major Martling and one by Ula Vale whose fiance died in an earlier one, are looking for the valuable idol, too. Raglan, Ula’s lawyer, is searching as well, but only to keep it to himself. Tarzan, Ula and Major Martling rescue D’Arnot and find the idol that is worhiped by the natives. More adventures follow through the jungle of losing and recapturing the idol.

  8. I saw this movie on TV back in the late 60s and ever since then I remembered Tarzan's awful yell. Raglan the bad guy, and goofy George and his funny box that turned into a machine gun. Strange how certain things stick in the memory. Thanks for the upload!

  10. The bad guys are bunch of little wussys! Lol! Fun little flick though,still better than most of the crap that passes for "entertainment" these days. Thanks for posting. 🙂

  13. Aside from the plethora of apparently escaped Zoo animals…and some strangely Burmese looking "natives", oh, and the mix of Alligator and crocodile statements….one with a leap of imagination could think this was all on the Americas !….and what about those Ninja sorta looking characters…hhhmmmm. Was fun for all those reasons too, thank you for the entertainment ! I gave this a thumbs up…..aaaAAAAHHHHAHAOOOOOOHa ! Meuw…prrr prrr…nice kitty !

  14. Just my opinion the reason JW is considered by many as the best Tarzan is solely because of the yell several of the men who played the part were Olympic swimmers and some that played Jane or Eleanor also were world class swimmers.

  15. What kind of a dumb Tarzan is this? Where is the Tarzan yell? Why does he speak such a fluent English? And that fight scene with the leopard at around 14:00 was just so childish… I mean if they're going to use a stuffed animal does it have to be so small and stiff? And how does he butcher a leopard with bare hands but can't knock out a single guy in his fights? And why do they call it the Green Goddess and not the Dark Gray Goddess? What are Ninjas doing in Africa? And what's up with the Asian looking people there? Why do they cover their faces with hoods? Are they afraid the wild animals will recognize them? WTF is a "Sacred Lion"? Who chains a sacred lion? Is there a competition between the Dark Gray Goddess and the Green Lion? Why is that fierce lion killed with that tiny lil pocket knife while Tarzan doesn't get a scratch even though the lion was supposedly chewing on his arm for 10 minutes? What part of jungles in Africa have Caucasian tribes? And this is a 1930s movie. How come none of the bad guys once says "why, you… I oughta…"? And why is Tarzan in a clown suit at the end of the movie? By the way, check out that fire at the end over which they're supposedly cooking something. If that's not the puniest fire you have ever seen in a movie… Don't get me wrong. We had such a blast with all the stupidity in this movie I'm going to watch it again.

  16. The setting is ridiculous .Guatemala a Central American country populated by African wild beasts .though the looks of this Tarzan is one of the best after Johnny Weissmuller of course
