My favorite Tarzan movies are the two last films that starred Gordon Scott, Tarzan's Greatest Adventure and Tarzan the Magnificent. Hence, my favorite Tarzan is Gordon Scott and the way he portrayed the Tarzan character in those films. My next favorite would be Ron Ely and the way he portrayed the Tarzan character in the TV series. During the two year run of the show there were some bad episodes, but overall that is some of my favorite Tarzan stuff to watch (remove the Jai character and that show is actually pretty good).
The drawing here is of Mike Henry, aand his movies are some of the weakest, I think due to his limited acting ability and some bad direction. They could have been really great, Henry certainly looked the part more than any other Tarzan, but his portrayal is so weak and some of the stories so bad they just come across as a dissappointment. There are times during those films where Henry is just standing there and he manages to look awkward, and even some action scenes are stiff.
If you've never seen the Scott films just let me know, I can send you copies of his last two films for you to watch.
See there, you got me started talking about Tarzan and I couldn't stop myself. Glad you asked!
I'm ashamed to say I only discovered the books late last year, but loved every word.
Thanks for answering in such depth, one of the things i hate most is one word answers. You're a legend, keep up the amazing work!
I just bought "Tarzan and the Valley of Gold" on DVD. I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and it was still as good as I remember it (except for some low-budget prop work).
It was very amusing seeing Tarzan step off an airliner wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase.
I met Mike Henry quite by accident when I lived in California. Little did I know that one of my favorite restaurants was also one of Mike Henry's favorite resteraunts, so I bumped into him there and couldn't help saying something to him. He was very patient and nice to me, and I later went to meet him where he worked as a producer of game shows. I didn't realize at the time that he is somewhat reclusive and doesn't necessarily like talking about his Tarzan expereinces, but you wouldn't have known that by the way he acted toward me. It was a great experience.
