Not much I can add to the review of "Tarzan & The Valley of Gold" that hasn't already been said (yup, it's a '60's "James Bond in a breach cloth" film) except for the fact that "Tarzan & The Valley of Gold" has TWO different endings, depending on which edited version you're seeing.
Okay, "Spoiler Warning." That given, one version has the end credits rolling right after Mike Henry & Nancy Kovac wave goodbye to the Incas at Tucomare (& the inhabitants all come out to see him off.)
However, another version DOESN'T end there. It ends with Tarzan (Mike Henry) flirting a bit with Nancy Kovac (who flirts back), while offering her another (exploding) wrist-watch! (The flirting was another James Bond touch. You'd never see Johnny Weismuller do that! Of course, Weismuller's Tarzan wasn't exactly articulate.) Henry then takes out the villain's exploding mercury from the briefcase & blows up the cav entrance to Tucomare, commenting to Kovac that "Perhaps if nobody finds them for a while, the world will have time to catch up with them."
(Meaning, "catch up" with Tucomare's peaceful philosophy.)
Hmmm. This Tarzan also knows how to handle chemicals (like mercury) & is a philosopher, too!
Definitely NOT Johnny Weismuller!
If you "dig" '60's "camp" like I do, then "Tarzan & The Valley of Gold"
is definitely worth taping whenever it's shown on tv.
