It is crucial to distinguish this film from the many mainstream versions of the story. Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes (1912) has spawned dozens of films, but Tarzan-X is a very different beast.

"Tarzan X - Shame of Jane" was produced by A-Pix Entertainment and premiered on the Fox network in 2002. The movie was directed by Ronny Yu, known for his work on various action films, and written by Joe C. Everman. The story deviates from the traditional Tarzan narrative by incorporating elements of eroticism and a more contemporary take on the jungle hero. The film stars Casper Van Dien as Tarzan, a role traditionally associated with actors like Johnny Weissmuller and Lex Barker, and Vanessa L Mathison as Jane.

Tarzan-X: Shame of Jane is more than just an adult parody; it is a genuine cinematic oddity. It is a high-budget, romantic adventure shot in the wilds of Africa, starring a real-life couple who would go on to marry.
