Can't argue with that logic! In that case, none of the on-screen Tarzans comes anywhere close to his physical requirements, except for maybe Gordon Scott (1955-1960). He couldn't act if his life depended on it but had a more muscular build than any other whom I've seen. (The early '90s TV series isn't something that I watched but a friend's mother used to tune in regularly, simply for its beefcake star. Maybe that guy fits the bill?)Le Saboteur said:I certainly see where you're coming from, but I must disagree. Brix looks pretty good overall, but those legs are too spindly. He would never be able to get the kind of leverage on Kerchak he needed before the silverback destroyed him.
Before I die, I want to see gorillas in the wild. It's on my life's "to do" list.Le Saboteur said:Watch this gorilla snap this banana tree nearly in half.
Heh, we should swap collections, Sabby-baby. You need to see more Tarzan movies whereas I need to read more Tarzan books! If you haven't seen any of the Lex Barker-as-Tarzan movies, check those out for they are some of my favourites.Le Saboteur said:I'm going to need to add some of these to my Netflix queue. There's so much to watch, though!
Yes, there is so much to watch. I've seen most but not all. (Makes me wonder which literary character has the most on-screen representations. In 'western world' literature, I'd venture to guess that it's either Tarzan or Sherlock Holmes.)
