Movie review - Jungle Jim #6 - "Fury of the Congo" (1951) **1/2

 Weismuller takes off his shirt in the opening sequence to dive into a lagoon, Tarzan style. He's not in very good shape.

In this one Jim is protecting animals being hunted by drug runners because the animal gland produce a drug. That's a cool idea.

There's a lot of animal stock footage and fun stuff like a female tribe worried about their men and a good scientist coerced into doing Bad Things.

There's too much action though. That sounds weird, I know. I should say there's too much bland action. Stock footage and scenes of people running around. It felt padded.

Still not bad Tarzan lite.
