Well I'm definitely going to be in the minority here but I thought this was a pretty poor excuse for a Tarzan movie. Not only is the film geographically challenged with Tarzan (Mike Henry) relocated to where? - Mexico, Central America, South America? - but it also has such disparate elements as the jungle king driving an armored tank and brandishing huge automatic weapons. I hope Coca Cola got their money's worth out of their product placement dollars because their advertising was all over the place in the early going, and Tarzan had a big hand in handing some evil henchman a Coke and a smile. And what's with the character who portrayed Mango Capoc, the leader of the natives in the land of Tucamai? Could they have gotten anyone older than this unknown guy named Francisco Riquerio to play the role? He looked as ancient as the Incan structures used in the village scenes. To my thinking there's not a lot to recommend here unless you like your Tarzan straight out of the James Bond spoof genre. At least Mike Henry looked the part as Tarzan, maybe a bit much on the muscular side to be swinging from a vine, but certainly well developed from working out in his jungle gym.
