The Legacy of the Loins

Why are we talking about this movie now? Because it represents a lost era of media.

In the age of the internet, the "softcore erotic adventure" is dead. You can't imagine Netflix greenlighting a Tarzan movie where the primary objective is to showcase the male lead's glutes in slow motion. The market that once sustained these films has fractured.
