YMMV / Tiger Fangs

Go To

  • Complete Monster: The rubber plantation physician and his co-conspirator are saboteurs in league with the Nazis:
    • Dr. Lang is a physician aligned with the Nazi regime who hopes to secure Nazi victory over the world by damaging Allied rubber plantations. Developing a drug that drives tigers into bloodthirsty frenzies, Lang supplies it to his right-hand man Gratz to use on local tigers, getting dozens of men, women, and children on the plantation slain by the rampaging beasts. Implying he'll alter the drug to even work on humans in the war effort, Lang tries to gun down Frank Buck and his entire group of allies and friends when he is exposed.
    • Henry Gratz is the sleazy animal handler accomplice of Dr. Lang, assisting Lang in his plan to sabotage the rubber plantation. To this end, Gratz drugs several tigers with darts and sets them loose on the plantation workers, resulting in several deaths, in addition to tormenting the tigers on a regular basis. When a dart is discovered by Frank Buck and his hunting party in the skin of one of the tigers, and brought to a nurse for investigation, Gratz tries to kill the nurse by releasing a leopard in her room.
  • Fair for Its Day: The rubber plantation owner tells his nephew not to laugh at "Native Superstition", a surprisingly progressive viewpoint for 1943. Furthermore, Frank himself is shown to be more tolerant of the Native beliefs.
  • Values Resonance: Frank's respectful view towards Native beliefs is reflective of the aspiration towards religious tolerance and acceptance in 2021.
