If you ever get a chance to see the original MGM flick Tarzan, The Ape Man
... take it. This movie is so much fun. It’s quirky too, but that’s not a bad thing. Most interesting to me is how real it looks when he fights with a lion. I was very impressed with the quality of such a primitive movie to make something so dangerous look that good. Obviously he didn’t fight a lion, so how did they do that??

What is that creature in the pit? Why does it look like a gorilla? Why does it have such sharp teeth?
And that little monkey is awesome.
I definitely understand why this flick spawned umpteen sequels. Check it out.
