** The entire sequence where flamingos attack the helicopter. Watching Zanda and the pilot halfheartedly attempting to fend off the ravaging avians and the business of the pilot getting his eyes pecked out come across as more than a little silly.

* ClicheStorm: The film combines not just the whole list of JungleOpera cliches (befitting a character originating from pulp stories), but also throws in the early 80s adventure flick formula to the mix. And it actually ''works'' with [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief the right mindset]].

* VindicatedByCable: The film silently left cinemas with nothing to its name beyond scathing reviews. Then came ''countless'' cable reruns that made it a [[CultClassic cult thing]].

*** All of the scenes with Sheena's animal friends are ridiculous in their own right.
** The entire sequence where flamingos attack the helicopter. Watching Zanda and the pilot halfheartedly attempting to fend off the ravaging lawn ornaments and the business of the pilot getting his eyes pecked out come across as more than a little silly.
** Soldier Anders ''catches'' one of the great big boulders the tribe are rolling down on the bad guys, ''holds it to himself,'' and then propels himself backwards to simulate being struck.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Really, this is the kindest thing that can be said about the movie as a whole.

* CompleteMonster: TheEvilPrince Otwani schemes to take the throne of Tigora and mine the rich Earth of the Gudjara Mountain, assassinating his good-hearted brother and [[HeKnowsTooMuch poisoning his own associates]] to assure his arise to power. Meeting complications from the resisting native Zambuli tribes, Otwani attempts to exterminate them all, leading his forces towards Gudjara Mountain and even allowing his bloodthirsty soldiers to completely wipe out a nearby village to slake their bloodlust. Otwani only spares the jungle warrior Sheena for his own lascivious purposes and attempts to have her partner murdered for the transgression of slapping him.
