#Johnny weissmuller tarzan movie

I think Tarzan could've just pointed at whatever he wanted, and throw out an 'ongawa', and he would be completely understood. 'Cheetah! Ongawa! Pay-say, pay-say!!' That one meant for Cheetah to hurry. That must have been like the 'que' in Spanish, being a catch-all word meaning several different things. He had some great words, but the one he used the most was 'Ongawa'. Tarzan spoke two languages: English and something else. Remember also the Gobonis? They were the fierce tribe that everyone was terrified of. That one gave me the creeps for nearly a lifetime. Remember that horrible crossed-tree death torture? The one where the natives took two trees, bent them over with vines, then staked out their victims on opposite trunks and cut the vines? The trees would them tear them in half. The natives usually got trampled by elephant herds or shot by the british hunters, and the hunters usually bought it by way of quicksand, poison darts, getting mauled by lions, or by getting split apart on trees. Why? Because both of those factions usually ended up dead. And let's face it, nobody wanted to play the british big game hunters or the natives. Unlike Army, Tarzan didn't have any fellow soldiers. The only difference with playing Tarzan was that it was something you pretty much had to do alone. I think that playing Tarzan and playing Army were both fun things to do, but. It was amazing just how far black and white film could deliver the impact of this magnificent jungle hero. Sometimes they played on Saturdays, or Sunday afternoons.
