...because, as remakes of old serials go, this one certainly has potential--certainly as much as Superman did. But because of director-cinematographer John Derek's egomaniacal insistance that his wife always remain on screen, the story of Tarzan is lost. We never see the legendary plane crash which brought the baby Tarzan to the jungle; we don't see him learning how to survive in the wilds or forging his bonds of friendship with the animals. In the old Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies, jungle adventure was the main feature. Jane was simply a pretty face, a catalyst for Tarzan...
Typically the clinics handle 60 patients a day. A customer simply walks in, fills out a registration form, then sits down in a large, well-lit room until the nurse ushers him into one of several treatment areas: a "crash room" equipped with cardiac defibrillators and respirators for the rare patients who arrive with serious problems, an orthopedic room equipped to deal with fractures and sprains, a "suture bay" for minor lacerations, or an X-ray room...
...hope of pouring in enough men and materiel to halt the substantial forces that the U.S.S.R. could thrust across its border with Iran.

Edgarton, above the lobby and off to one side, had his back turned when the bridges crashed. Instead of seeing the havoc, he saw the startled expressions of the witnesses. Said he: "People hid their faces and turned away...
Consider Darby Crash, lead singer of the Germs. When the band was formed, their manager recalls, "they didn't know how to play their instruments." Darby still hasn't learned to sing into the mike during performances. Instead, he lurches across and off the stage topless, his baby fat segueing to paunch, his voice clogged with booze and speed, his bruised, burned and scarred body looking like a souvenir from a guerrilla war in which he was the only participant. He passes time offstage with his pet tarantula and his friend Michelle, who giggles about...
