Tarzan's Three Challenges (1963)


Directed by Robert Day
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Jock Mahoney travels to Thailand to guide a boy through the jungle to assume his new role as holy leader. They face many trials along the way, pursued by a rival contender for the throne. The production utilizes many famous Buddhist shrines, including a cave full of golden statues. In fact, the film threatens to become a travelogue through Thailand at times. In the end, Tarzan must face one last test to save the boy, a showdown on a net suspended above urns of boiling water.
