poe426 I've gotta admit that I've always liked the high tech Tarzan, as personified by Mike Henry, better than any of the others (although Gordon Scott comes in a close second). Henry could've (and should've) played Batman or Superman: he had the "built-in body armor" that any good superhero worth his tights should have- and he could act well enough to pull it off, too (despite what some critics seem to think, he comes across as a cerebral savage who vacillates between the contemporary, "civilized" man and the cave man). A buddy of mine tells me that Henry wanted to play Doc Savage; in my opinion, it would've been a perfect fit. (The soon-to-be-doomed) Dinky never really comes close to stealing the show in TARZAN AND THE VALLEY OF GOLD, but he does a commendable job in what turns out to have been his swan song. All things considered, TARZAN AND THE VALLEY OF GOLD is a lot of fun and the one Tarzan movie I can recommend without reservations.

robman-5 In terms of pure aesthetics Mike Henry is head and shoulders above all the other Tarzans. He looks the part more than anyone who's ever played it. This man's physique is a work of art, and he's not at all hard to look at. I defy anyone to take their eyes off him when he's on screen. He's perfectly cast, the story moves likes lightning, the action sequences are great(with even a nice touch of James Bond thrown in),this movie is well worth the price of rental or purchase(if you can find it).It's well worth it

smarty-11 It's a long time since I saw this and spent a fun afternoon watching it on the small screen; all I really remember is that the chimp usually known as "Cheetah" was called "Dinky" in this one. And that Mike Henry! What a versatile actor!

Albert Ohayon Ex-L.A. Rams linebacker Mike Henry makes his debut as Tarzan in this 1960s adventure. His arrival in Mexico wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase is quite jarring, as is his subsequent "James Bond style" gunfight. But, not to fear, this is just to show us that this Tarzan is handy with modern weapons and is at ease in any environment. He does go into the jungle(in his loincloth)accompanied by a couple of wild animals and this is where the film gets interesting. He has to find the legendary Valley of Gold and protect its citizens from greedy villain Vinaro(David Opatashu) and his well organized(not to mention armed-to-the-teeth) army. The story is a little hokey at times, and seeing Tarzan use guns, grenades and a tank is a little hard to take, but overall the characterizations are good and the Mexican scenery is nothing short of spectacular(especially the Aztec pyramid city).Opetashu is perfect as the smooth, slick villain who sends his enemies exploding wristwatches. Henry is a little serious as Tarzan but he does excel in the action sequences. On the whole a groovy movie experience( jazzy musical score and all).
