Trivia[]
- Judging by Theodore Roosevelt's presence and that he's a former present, the franchise is presumably set in the early 1900s.
- The Rough Rider is a title to 1st United States Volunteer Calvary which was commanded by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War. And he also said to Tarzan about the Battle of San Juan Hill.
- Judging by when Tarzan told Roosevelt that he didn't want to know what he said to Manu, it's implied that Roosevelt accidently said a swear word to Manu.
