Description:
Jungle Jim is based on a comic strip by Alex Raymond, the creator of `Flash Gordon,' and produced by Universal in 12 exciting chapters. Jungle Jim (Grant Withers) goes on safari to darkest Africa to find an heiress (Betty Jane Rhodes) who disappeared in the jungle a few years earlier. It turns out the heiress is not really lost but has become the ruler of a tribe of natives. It also appears that she has fallen under the influence of a mysterious figure known as The Cobra (Henry Brandon) who holds some kind of evil dominion over her. With Jungle Jim's help, Joan escapes from The Cobra's spell but now our hero and heroine must fight their way back to civilization against all manner of wild beasts and bad guys.

An above-average serial with plenty of action, outstanding stunt work, and interesting intros to each chapter via vintage cartoon panels in the style of creator Alex Raymond. One disappointing note: having greatly enjoyed Henry Brandon in a star villian turn as Fu Manchu[ASIN:B000087F3F Drums of Fu Manchu], it was sad here to see him underutilized as a secondary (mostly offscreen) baddie. His natural and realistic acting was ahead of its time (thus accounting for his long career) and puts the other, ... Read More

"Jungle Jim" is worth the price. The quality of this DVD is quite good for a cliffhanger from 1936. VCI Entertainment did a fine job.
I'm not completely agree with the other viewers. I found this chapterplay a little bit slow paced and sometimes too talky. Grant Withers is a nice Jungle Jim, Raymond Hatton adds some pleasant jokes, but Betty Jane Rhodes isn't very convincing as Joan the Lion Goddess. Henry Brandon is perfect as the Cobra, also Evelyn Brent as Shanghai Lil. Brandon is really an underrated ... Read More

Agree with reviewer form Holland; except I want to give 5 stars. The reason for 5 stars is that I consider what can be accomplished with "B" film budgeted dollars, then this film reaches the apex of what can be accomplished. Character, setting, and dialogue are all marvelously rendered. Sure, we do not have the Stanislavsky school of acting here, but could even Montgomery Clift or Brando focus on internalizing the character while being asked to dive off cliffs or stand next to live, dangerous lions and tigers? ...

This `Jungle Jim' serial on DVD is way above average, without any doubt. Firstly, because of the outstanding picture quality. While serials like `Flash Gordon' -also based on an Alex Raymond comic strip- can look pale and fussy, `Jungle Jim' looks like it was shot yesterday instead of almost seventy years ago. The second special quality of this serial are the comic book introductions with each episode, made especially for the film by Alex Raymond himself. These introductions alone are worth seeing `Jungle Jim', and ... Read More
