What did Tarzan wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Going by the book:

Tarzan grabs some trinkets and stuff from the local cannibal tribe, and wears his father's locket (it has pictures of Tarzan's parents inside). As for Jane...

I'm not sure. She might have some jewelery on her, and later in the story Tarzan gives her his locket.

It's very sweet. :)

How did Clayton die on the movie Tarzan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Clayton chased Tarzan up into the high branches of the jungle. Tarzan then jumped on Clayton and they wrestled for a few minutes. Tarzan got Clayton's gun and broke it. Clayton took out his knife and lunged at Tarzan, but Tarzan tangled Clayton's body in vines. Then Clayton cut all of the vines holding him except for the one around his neck. Clayton falls and of course is hanged, and Tarzan drops to the ground with the gunshot wound still in his arm.

Tarzan is a character in a series of novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. He derived from Great Britain as a baby. He was sailing with his family along the coast of africa. Soon they ship wrecked and made home in the African Jungle. A cabin was made and soon they were castaways. But a leopard came and killed the parents leaving the baby alone. Then along came a female gorilla with no baby. So she saved baby Tarzan from the leopard and came to raise him with the other apes and wildlife.

Is Tarzan racist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends how you define the term. One should distinguish between the Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs and the various movie ( many actors involved aside from Weissmuller) and television adaptations. There was an episode in the Television series Tarzan ( Ron Ely as the ape man here) That featured the Soul group The Supremes as missionary nuns! Surely this was step in the right direction. The very idea of a White man dominant ( as Tarzan surely was) in Darkest Africa might be offensive to some, but positive Black characters were interwoven into the fabrid as well.

I have the disc in my computer at this very moment so I have played the level just now to check! It`s on the ground right in front of you after you`ve passed the rhino and have broken the boxes and the barrel where the rhino`s at - in other words, at the beginning of the level, before the bugs come! Hope this helped!

Could Batman beat Tarzan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As skilled as Batman is, he probably couldn't. He couldn't do very much against someone with animal reflexes. Tarzan would have him in a full Nelson before he could reach for his handy-dandy belt.

It's even evident in the Batman/Tarzan crossover by DC: Claws of the Catwoman (they're allies here, mind you). Tarzan does so much better than the Bats when it comes to fighting. Then again, he was in his element...

In truth, I love them both and I have previously thought of them fighting each other (and at those times I told myself that Tarzan would win). I gave the idea very serious consideration.

Long live Tarzan and Batman!
