* TimeShiftedActor: As with many productions of the Tarzan story, the film's first act focuses on his boyhood in the jungle before moving onto his discovery by the outside world as an adult. Five actors are credited as Tarzan: one as a baby, one as a toddler, one as a child, one as an adolescent, and one as an adult. Only adult Tarzan (Christopher Lambert) has any intelligible dialogue.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Downplayed with the Mangani. While predominately modeled after chimpanzees, Silverbeard and White Eyes have physical elements of gorillas while Figs has the physical elements of an orangutan incorporated. The Mangani of the original novel were indeed and combination of chimpanzee and gorilla in characteristics making Silverbeard and White Eyes design make sense, but orangutans aren't even native to Africa, making it seem to be just incorporating any kind of ape into the designs of individuals.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In contrast to the minor antagonist that Tublat was, Silverbeard never shows a dislike for his adoptive son and actually defends him against White Eyes whereas it is doubtful Tublat ever would have defended Tarzan against Kerchak, and while he does kill Tarzan's biological father, as Kerchak did, there is nothing to imply there was any of Kerchak's malevolent intentions, especially not for the position of Lord Clayton's gun. Indeed, Silverbeard clearly shows no signs of having any idea what a firearm even is.
