Jock Mahoney's two Tarzan films aren't very good, but what did I know? I was six or seven. That's where my deep appreciation of Woody Strode began. He was great in everything.
He certainly was. I just wrote an essay about his final film appearances in "The Cotton Club," "Posse," and "The Quick and the Dead" (and also "Storyville," "A Gathering of Old Men," and "On Fire." All bit parts or cameos. I use those appearances as signposts to go into his long career and life. He was a fascinating man.
A great history as usual...I just put Tarzan and His Mate into my Netflix queue! Tarzan's Three Challenges was not very good, but Woody Strode was great in it. He wrote in his memoir that Jock Mahoney was very sick during the filming, and it looks like it. Mahoney seems clammy and unsteady in every scene.
