It is worth noting that Tarzan X exists in a legal gray area. While Burroughs’ original Tarzan is public domain, the specific iconography—the chest-beating yell, the specific look of Jane, the name "Cheeta"—has often been trademarked by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. To avoid lawsuits, D’Amato and Siffredi changed minor details. This Tarzan does not have a chimpanzee sidekick; he has a sullen, human native guide. He rarely does the famous "yell." These changes, however, do not fool anyone. The film unabashedly wants you to think of the classic character.

Rocco Siffredi is, of course, the main draw. At this point in his career, he was already a European adult superstar, and here he plays Tarzan with a straight face — which somehow makes it funnier. His chemistry with real-life partner (at the time) Rosa Caracciolo, who plays Jane, gives the film a rare authenticity among porn parodies. Caracciolo, elegant and composed, plays the “civilized” Jane caught between Victorian restraint and jungle passion.

To her surprise, Tarzan X spoke little, but his actions spoke volumes. He offered Sophia a challenge: to join him in his quest to protect the jungle and its inhabitants. Sophia, feeling an unexpected arousal of spirit and a newfound sense of purpose, accepted.
