The film was not produced without controversy. The estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of the Tarzan character, promptly filed a lawsuit to stop the film's distribution, arguing that the adult parody infringed on their trademark. However, the lawsuit was ultimately unsuccessful, allowing Tarzan-X to remain commercially available. This legal battle was a significant moment, as it tested the boundaries of how well-known fictional characters could be used in explicitly parodic and erotic contexts.

The director focused heavily on the "steaminess" of the jungle environment to set the tone.

Adding a layer of genuine intrigue to the production is the film's starring couple. The role of Tarzan (or "John, the Ape-man") is played by none other than , an Italian adult film superstar often hailed as a legend in the industry. Opposite him as Jane is Rosa Caracciolo , who at the time was Siffredi's real-life wife. This real-life chemistry is often cited as a highlight, with reviewers noting that their passion "radiates off the screen". The supporting cast includes Nikita Gross as Diana and Attila Schuszter as Mike, among others.

The film proposes that the shame is not Jane's. It belongs to the society that would label her desires as shameful. In bringing John back to civilization, Jane does not "corrupt" him; rather, civilization attempts, and fails, to tame her. The film is a celebration of a woman who actively pursues her pleasure, making it a proto-feminist artifact within a genre not often associated with such themes.

While there wasn't a major Tarzan film released in 1995, it's possible that the year could relate to a different project, a precursor, or a related piece of media that hasn't been widely recognized.
