Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Hokey. Unbelievable. No story. Not like Tarzan.
The natives are all white guys wearing black, afro wigs. The good guys are stealing the diamonds from the natives, so we cheer for the natives. None of the characters have any personality, none are likeable. One guy is wearing a suit and tie, supposedly in Africa, running around without breaking a sweat. Jungle Girl wears a dress brand new from a New York department store with a little stitching added. The script has no story of interest, and no story, just the natives chasing jungle girl ...

Rating:  - JOY for lovers of old jungle films and serials!
This has to be in the top three of my favorite old films. Of course, as it is a Serial presentation, there's plenty of action in every episode and it never drags. And, even better, as you watch it on a rainy Saturday afternoon, you can doze off and on and each time you wake up, you're pretty much right back up to speed on what has happened -- that's the way they wrote these great episodes.

Rating: - Two Nyokas Were Not Enough
To my surprise I did not enjoy this serial among serials the second time aaround as much as when I was a kid.

It helped plant seeds in my generation that grew to today's different and better idea ... Read More
Rating:  - Nostalgia Reward
Refreshing to return to the vintage serials of one's youth when there was no difficulty in distinguishing the "good guys" from the "bad guys". Although devoid of today's computer generated special effects, the camera work and action is well conceived and entertaining. Best of all, your granchildren can watch and enjoy the action without graphic violence and bloodshed to disturb them. One of the better serials of the 1940's.
Rating: - Jungle Girl Downunder review
Good, old fashioned matinee movie action. Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger. Cast and story 4 star rating, picture quality excellent. Highly recommended for nostalgia fanatics.
