Tharzan - La vera storia del figlio della giungla (1995) - IMDb

Tarzan-X: Shame of Jane is a 1994 Italian erotic film directed by Joe D'Amato

The story is a loose adaptation of the classic Tarzan character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Like many "jungle" films of the era, it focused on the "fish-out-of-water" trope, following a primitive man's encounter with modern civilization.

Born Aristide Massaccesi, D'Amato was a highly prolific Italian filmmaker who moved between mainstream horror, exploitation, and adult cinema. Known for his strong cinematic eye, his adult features often had higher production values, better cinematography, and more exotic locations than standard industry fare of the era.

The supporting cast includes , Attilia Schulter , and several other well-known European adult actors, all of whom contribute to the film's lush, exotic atmosphere.

The performers were selected to embody the physical contrast between the "wild" environment and the "civilized" world, a central theme in many adaptations of the Tarzan mythos.

There is a growing trend of "retro" digital archeology where viewers seek out the most famous or "infamous" titles of the VHS era.

The story follows Jane on an expedition in Africa where she encounters the wild "Ape Man". After they form a romantic and sexual connection, she attempts to bring him back to civilization (Britain), leading to various "culture shock" scenarios and further erotic encounters.
