As a fan of early evening / saturday afternoon matinees on BBC2, I wonder if anyone has seen Tarzan's Greatest Adventure?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053334/
Had Anthony Quinn playing a psychotic hunter, and a young Sean Connery as one of his henchman. Apparently the studio was so impressed by Connery that they had offered him the chance to play Tarzan. This is around the time he was offered James Bond, after which his career really took off.
Featured a scene where Tarzan gets blown out of a tree with dynamite, and a vicious fight on a cliff-top where a Tarzan is attacked by wire garotte on a bamboo pole, and a man is hit with a cactus.
They don't make movies like that anymore... Just wish it was out on DVD.
