What are the chances of the TARZAN movies starring Gordon Scott & Mike Henry making it to DVD? These 2 guys are the Tarzans I remember growing up as a boy in the 60's. Thanks, any info would be appreciated.

ok going off of the different WB chats, i would say that your chances are very good , think the lex barker seris would be first followed by scott, then henry

I'm up for the Lex Barker collection since I can show it with La Dolce Vita.

It's important that the Tarzan films come out on DVD since like Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto, these are films that TV stations are hesitant to air, but I miss them from when they were Saturday afternoon staples.

Mike Schleslinger, a consultant for Sony, said their decision to release JUNGLE JIM in 2008 was due in part to the big sales that Warner had with the Weismuller Tarzans. That is great news since it means we should certainly see a Lex Barker collection in 2008 followed by Scott/Henry at some point in the future. Henry only made 3 Tarzans so perhaps his collection would be grouped with the Jock Mahoney films.

Agreed. Watching Saturday morning/afternoon TV in the 70s is what led to my love of classic cinema. Laurel & Hardy, Tarzan, East Side Kids, Chan, and Sherlock Holmes are the films/series that I recall watching the most.

Steve sounds like we had the same childhood or at least some of the same channel programining, and the beauty of this is with the releases i am getting a chance to do it all over again
