Trivia
Popular mythology claims that Johnny Weissmuller did his own high-dive stunt in Tarzán contra el mundo (1942). In the film, an escaping Tarzan jumps 200 feet (61 m) from the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, but according to ERBzine and research on Edgar Rice Burroughs, the shot was filmed by cameraman Jack Smith on top of the MGM scenic tower on lot 3, using a dummy plunging into a tank of water.

Errores
Cheetah is shown drinking from three of four bottles in Jane's suitcase and then throwing each of those three bottles away. But after the alcohol bottle is discarded, a medium view of the suitcase reveals all four bottles still in their carrier in the suitcase.

Citas
Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [at the Club Moonbeam, answering the phone] Hello. Hello.
Cheetah the Chimp: [at the Gloucester Hotel, talking into telephone] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Oooooooh. Ooh.
Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [shocked] What's that? This is Sam. Who is this?
Cheetah the Chimp: Woo, woo, woo. Woooooooo.
Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [irritated] What's that? I said, this is Sam. That's what I said.
Cheetah the Chimp: Agh, agh, agh.
Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: What'd you say?
Cheetah the Chimp: Agh-agh.
Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [upset] You ain't gettin' fresh with me, is you, colored boy?
Cheetah the Chimp: Agh. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: Don't you give me none of that double-talk! Do you hear me?
Cheetah the Chimp: Woooo-oooooooo.
Sam, the Nightclub Janitor: [mad] Why, you... you. You mush-mouth!
[hangs up the phone]
Cheetah the Chimp: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaa.
Jane: [sees Cheetah on the phone, rushes over to the chimp] Now what? Cheetah, Cheetah, what are you doing? Now, you give me that telephone right away. Yes. Don't you dare touch that anymore. The idea.

Could this be the best Tarzan film of all time?

Ask anyone over the age of 30 who is the best Tarzan and you may receive several answers. Ron Ely would be a popular choice; so would Gordon Scott. But I'll lay good money that the top answer would be Johnny Weissmuller.

By the time Tarzan's New York Adventure came to be made, Weissmuller had made the loin cloth his own and something new had to be done. As sacrilegious as it sounds, it was the taking of Tarzan out of his own environment that made this the best in his long list of jungle capers.

The plot is unimportant. Tarzan's son is taken away to New York and he travels there, accompanied by Jane, to bring him back. But it's the way that the whole premise is handled that ensures that this film will remain in the memory (it's remained in mine ever since I saw it, aged 7). You know Tarzan will win but you don't expect the way that he does it.

Weissmuller was a fine actor with little to say. And here, he doesn't need to say much. There's action, drama, and humour - everything one needs. Even the effects (apart from an occasional speeded up film shot) are sufficiently effective.
