"Tarzan in Manhattan" was the pilot for an unsuccessful proposed television series. It was directed by Michael Schultz in 1989 and starred Joe Lara as Tarzan. Kim Crosby played Jane Porter, a New York cab driver with a degree in computers; Tony Curtis played Archimedes (Archie) Porter, a private investigator; and Jan-Michael Vincent played Brightmore, a crooked millionaire with an interest in animal vivisection.

Joe Lara returned several years later in "Tarzan: The Epic Adventures", a feature-length pilot for a successful television series of the same name.

just saying, when I was little and saw pictures of him holding this chimp, my dad would trick me and say the chimp was my cousin.

Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Do you run into him much? If so, what's he up to these days?

SERIOUSLY ?

Sorry, another pretty good Barker film is "Tarzan's Peril" which has a truly despicable villian and a cute Jane.

@pwgr2000 Thank you will buy those soon

Sorry, I'm not clairvoyant, but hopefully there is a dusty copy buried at the back of a shelf somewhere - maybe Istanbul, maybe Rio de Janeiro, maybe Wabash.

All of the Lex Barker and Mike Henry films are pretty mediocre, but "Tarzan and the Valley of Gold" is a few notches above the other two - it has good locales and a good villain. For Barker I am fond of "Tarzan and the Slave Girl" because it is very campy; and it has lots of attractive women in harem outfits and sarongs.

Question what are the best Lex Barker and Mike Henry to buy and do you think we will ever see ROMANCE OF TARZAN-THE REVENGE OF TARZAN-TARZAN THE MIGHTY?

Isn't it illegal to have Kim Crosby in a movie and not have her sing? ;D
