I used to watch the Tarzan Series with Ron Ely ,and even back then had the pompous do gooder bits that were a turn off ,one where Jai was given a rifle by a hunter ,he looks it over and likes it, then ,decides to smash it against a tree [i just couldnt comprehend that ,at that time ] then Ron Ely [Tarzan ] pats him on the back so to speak ,and they leave it and move on .just didnt make any sense to me ,just irresponsible to me anyway .



I can say as a young kid I liked the Ely series. Later did not. Ridiculous his accent, ridiculous his obvious well educated English, but yet is a goose walking around in a rawhide loin cloth .... and all the PCism as you mention.

Some of the Johnny Weismuller movies were far better. Not the cheapo ones featuring Mexicans pretending to be African darkies though.

In my book the moviemakers should have used a hammer double rifle with jones underlever, which would indicate the story takes place in the times of Queen Victoria. The actors are dressed in some cloths which is in no way are historical correct for anything. Samuel Jackson should play a half naked black porter, carrying extra rifle, speaking bad english with an african dialect.

Sorry guys, but this movie is too much nice Hollywood for me.



I don't think the movie was designed for a "collector" audience, however true your comments are.

Haven't seen it myself yet.

That bandolier may look manly, but I wonder how it is when you mount the weapon!

True, wrong shoulder!

Also if on the left shoulder, the brass would be in a better position for loading using the right hand. Important to have good positioning for quick reloading during elephant or gorilla charges! For right hand shooters of course.

Culling belts on eBay.just get the fat guy one size fifty or so and sling over your shoulder. Amazing what the camera hides.i stopped the trailer on the latest star wars and the black clad Darth Vader looking guy was carrying an AR 15 with magpul furniture.

Schmidt-Rubin, possibly 1889 model with rearsight modified for the scope mounting, but its hard to tell if that is a belt buckle or a protruding box magazine
