Jungle Man-Eaters
Jungle Man-Eaters is a 1954 Jungle Jim movie starring Johnny Weissmuller. It was also the last official Jungle Jim movie after Screen Gems bought the rights to make a TV series based on the character. With only three movies on his contract remaining, Weissmuller used them wisely by just playing himself, but the format stayed the same.[1][2] Despite the title, there are no Jungle Man-Eaters shown in the film!
