* ShipwreckStart: The movie opens with Lord and Lady Greystoke abandoning a burning ship, and taking a lifeboat to the shore of DarkestAfrica. They took their infant son with them, and only what provisions they could take in a hurry at the time. That lifeboat would end up as the roof of a treehouse where the couple would live as castaways as best they could.

* LowTechSpears: Tarzan, who was raised by gorillas following the death of his parents and subsequently lives in a pre-Stone Age society as opposed to the late 19th/early 20th Century world outside of the jungle, manages to create a makeshift spear which he uses to get fruit. As an adult, he uses it to defeat the evil leopard Sabor, unknowingly avenging both his birth parents and Kala and Kerchak's son.

** The scene where Jane gets freaked out watching Tarzan talk with a monkey who stole some of her things is basically a {{Gender Flip}}ped version of a scene from ''Son of Tarzan'', where (Tarzan's future daughter-in-law) Meriam's other love interest Morrison Baynes gets freaked out watching her argue with a bunch of monkeys until they give back all of her things they stole.
