CinemaNow - Luana: Karzan, Jungle Lord

Enjoy a rumble in the jungle! To keep up with the world demand for cinema product, Italian film producers were often tempted to try their hands at widely established genres. The continuing popularity of Tarzan gave them plenty to work with, and from the studios of Italy came a nearly inexhaustible supply of look- and sound-alike films of every variety. Luana finds a safari in trouble aided by a mysterious ape-girl (Mei Chen) who has taken a liking to a rugged he-man explorer (Django Shoots First star Glenn Saxson). Karzan, Jungle Lord is an oddball take-off on the oh-so-familiar story of a group of scientists attempting to capture and reform the King of the Jungle. This one even features sound-alike stars in Johnny Kissmueller, Jr. and "Simone Blondel" (Simonetta Vitelli).
