JOCK MAHONEY IN JOHN GUILLERMAN'S 'TARZAN GOES TO INDIA'

Jock Mahoney in TARZAN GOES TO INDIA Year: 1962 Rating: ***

After actor/stuntman Jock Mahoney played the villain to Gordon Scott's Tarzan in TARZAN THE MAGNIFICENT, he was chosen to portray the swinging ape-man himself, a bit older, more sinewy than muscular and facially resembling former Tarzan (who Scott replaced) Lex Barker...

Here against several villains, beginning with formidable Leo Gordon as a foreman on a vast desert construction site (foreshadowing Tanis from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK)... An infamous elephant hunter, he threatens to kill any wildlife that could hinder the work — unless Tarzan and his boy sidekick... with a trained pet elephant... saves the day...

The plot, also involving middleman local Feroz Khan and lovely princess Simi Garewal, gets a bit weary, and, halfway through Leo Gordon is surprisingly killed... and HOT CARS villain Mark Dana, an always effective square-jawed/deep-voiced heavy, steps up: and he's even more of a formidable corporate-menace..

Once we trudge past overlong scenes with Tarzan, the boy and the elephant bonding in the jungle, there's a final-act involving Mark Dana with explosives vs Tarzan riding on and charging with a herd of Elephants: all filmed in action-packed-widescreen glory by British filmmaker John Guillerman, who also directed Gordon Scott and Jock Mahoney's previous MAGNIFICENT and would one day take the primal reigns for the 1970's KING KONG remake.
