context_page_description: Tarzan the Mighty is a 1928 American action film serial directed by Jack Nelson and Ray Taylor. It was nominally based on the collection Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The film is now considered to be lost.
context_section_description: Frank Merrill as Tarzan.  Joe Bonomo was cast as Tarzan but, while filming Perils of the Wild, fractured his left leg and severely injured his sacroiliac joint while performing a stunt.  Director Jack Nelson remembered Frank Merill from working with him on an earlier production, either Perils of the Jungle (1927) or The Adventures of Tarzan.  Whichever production it was, he felt that Merrill was a natural replacement and the new lead actor started filming the next morning.
  Al Ferguson as Black John, village ruler of Pirates' descendants
  Natalie Kingston as Mary Trevor.  There was no Jane in this production.  Kingston was cast as the castaway and love interest Mary Trevor.
  Bobby Nelson as Bobby Trevor, Mary's younger brother
  Lorimer Johnston as Lord Greystoke, Tarzan's uncle
