This movie showed a Tarzan who was far, far closer to the Tarzan of the books than most of the movies. However, this movie screws up bigtime with the animals. It is supposed to take place in Brazil where Tarzan flew at the request of Tarzan's friend. Footage of Africa from earlier Tarzan movies was mixed in. Gennets, for example, which do not occur in South America. Also a cheetah! The Weissmuller movies were far worse with ad parrots from 3 continents, monkeys from 2 or 3, etc. etc. Jeez!!!
I never realized that Mike Henry once played Tarzan. I always knew him as the hysterically funny simpleton, Junior Justice, from the Smokey and the Bandit movies. Looks like he was terrific in both roles. I just keep on waiting for Jackie Gleason, Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, Sally Field and Dom DeLuise to show up in the jungle.
@stuntconnection Thankyou for caring to give me this information brother. You
have a great New Years.

Fantástico. Sou fã do Tarzan e considero Mike Henry como o Tarzan cujo físico mais se aproxima do personagem de Edgar Rice Burroughs. Parabéns.
