Movie Reviews of AMC: Tarzan of the Apes: Collection
Movie Review: Good value for 5 older Tarzan films
Summary: 5 Stars
As has been noted, some of these prints aren't the greatest, but I've obtained the same ones from multiple other sources and I can tell you that this is as good as it gets for these particular films. And someone else mentioned that they are NOT in color and that is exactly correct. These are all Black-and-White films.
The older COLOR Tarzan films of the '60s are NOT yet available either on VHS tape or DVD. I hope they become available soon -- they include:
Tarzan Goes to India, (Jock Mahoney, 1962)
Tarzan's Three Challenges, (Jock Mahoney, 1963)
Tarzan and the Valley of Gold, (Mike Henry, 1966)
Tarzan and the Great River, (Mike Henry, 1967)
Tarzan and the Jungle Boy, (Mike Henry, 1968)
There was also the superb Tarzan TV series (NBC, '66-'68) starring Ron Ely and that is not yet available either.
At least three, (and probably all), of these Black-and-White films in this package are movies which are now in the public domain, meaning that anyone can copy and sell them -- that is why this "5-pack" is being sold so cheaply. There are four different Tarzans involved here, (on the actual film credits in "Tarzan and the Green Goddess," Herman Brix is listed as playing Tarzan... but he later changed his name to Bruce Bennett).
I enjoy all these old Tarzan films but, unlike the other reviewers, my expectations were not violated -- I knew exactly what I was buying in advance of receiving this package. The five films are on two separate DVDs, nicely packaged.
In any case, here's the list of the movies:
1. Tarzan the Fearless, (1933, Buster Crabbe)
2. The New Adventures of Tarzan, (1935, Bruce Bennett)
3. Tarzan and the Green Goddess, (1938, Bruce Bennett, aka Herman Brix)
4. Tarzan's Revenge, (1938, Glenn Morris)
5. Tarzan and the Trappers, (1958, Gordon Scott)
What can I say? If you're a fan of the older Tarzan movies, you'll probably love this set.
UPDATE, 3/30/11... The Jock Mahoney color Tarzan films are now available on DVD and they're really great:
Tarzan Goes To India (1962)
Tarzan's Three Challenges (1963)
