Tarzan was no dummy! Also, this was a dive not a jump.

@cmmwiz Well I beg your pardon!!

It's a guilty pleasure watching these films, they won't ever show them on TV again (for PC reasons!)

Cool! My favorite scene from all the Tarzan films.

When we were kids, we would do the Tarzan yell, beat on our chest and dive off this highway bridge into the Concord river. It might of been 40 feet, but seemed like 200 to us.

Johnny Weissmuller was an Olympic Gold Medalist in freestyle. The guy could hall ass in the water. Love all his movies with Maureen O'Sullivan.Got the collection on dvd.

He was King of the Jungle.
