I've watched a few TARZAN movies this afternoon and realized he's may be the most liberal character ever brought to screen.
He's a tree hugging, gun hating, vegetable eating, environmentalist hippie.

Can you think of others that are similar? TeddyR

Grizzly Adams... And considering Dan Haggerty became a drug dealer & turned out to be a homophobe (see http://www.badmovies.org/movies/pinkangels/ ), it also makes this tree hugger the perfect example of a left wing hypocrite!

TARZAN TRIUMPHS really tickled my funny bone. In it "Tarzan make war" against the Nazis, and near the end we have Cheeta machine gunning down a few and even boy kills one with a pistol. Buggedout
The final scene has Cheeta on the radio with Berlin and the Nazis think he's Hitler. Smile

The last 3rd to TARZAN'S DESERT MYSTERY was great too.

They finished off the day with a couple of Weissmuller's 'Jungle Jim' flicks.

I love his Tarzan movies but I find those pretty rough going. There's one with a couple of hairy ape people which is OK, but I don't remember which one it is.  TeddyR

I thought PYGMY ISLAND, with the little people from THE WIZARD OF OZ, wearing Beatles wigs, was pretty awesome.
So is this poster.

Attention all Johnny Weissmuller fans. TCM will be showing JUNGLE JIM movies every Saturday afternoon during September and most of October. TeddyR
I've only seen one, PYGMY ISLAND, but they seem like they would appeal mainly to bad movie fans.
Here's whats on.
JUNGLE JIM
THE LOST TRIBE
CAPTIVE GIRL
MARK OF THE GORILLA
PYGMY ISLAND
JUNGLE MANHUNT
JUNGLE JIM IN THE FORBIDDEN LAND

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
