The third and last of Mike Henry’s Tarzan movies, Tarzan and the Jungle Boy, sends Tarzan into the jungle to help rescue a boy (a very young Steve Bond) who’s been lost for years. One of two brothers fighting for rulership of their tribe doesn’t want the boy found because of what’s he’s witnessed.
Tarzan is once again summoned from Africa to South America where it’s apparently cheaper to film. This time, a claw weilding cultist is threatening, enslaving, and murdering people along the river. With the help of a riverboat captain (Jan Murray), the captain’s orphan sailor (Manuel Padilla, Jr.) and a lady doctor (Diana Millay), Tarzan tracks the baddies through the jungle and brings the vaccine the natives need.
Ape man meets secret agent man in this 1966 re-work of Tarzan. Ex NFL linebacker Mike Henry arrives on the scene to fill out the loincloth in a helicopter and carrying a brief case. He then defeats his first bad guy by crushing him with a giant bottle of coke. Rather than the jungles of Africa, Tarzan swings through South America to find a lost civilization and defend it from Bond-like villian Augustus Vinero (Star Trek TOS’s Anan 7, David Opatoshu). Tarzan and the Valley of Gold modernizes the ape man and has him communing with the animals and machine gunning baddies. Oh yeah, he takes down a helicopter with a make-shift explosive bola. Not a bad movie if you just want some mindless entertainment and primo eye candy.
