In the 70s, before VCRs and cable, seeing muscle on TV was a rarity. There was an occasional guy flexing in a sitcom or a commercial and a mere handful of pro wrestlers who carried decent muscle. Televised bodybuilding contests were nearly nonexistent. This was long before ‘Pumping Iron’ and Arnold’s ensuing ubiquity on talk shows. Tarzan movies represented one of the few reliable outlets for ogling the male physique, one which was acceptable even with your parents in the room (although you might still secretly feel ‘funny’). All the various Tarzans were studs, but only a couple sported significant muscle. Mike Henry, from the early 60s, had a chiseled, hairy body with admirable development, but, for me, no one came close to the gorgeously THICK Gordon Scott, with his huge sexy chest.
These two scenes are from the film ‘Tarzan’s Fight for Life’ (1958), only the second Tarzan flick to be released in color. Scott looks awesome in Technicolor, handsome for sure, but big and primal, his muscles aglow with sweat you dream of licking off him. I was already enraptured by his massive chest and mighty arms, but just get a load of (or bust one out over) the density and width of his powerful back as he climbs out the window. His meaty legs look quite tasty too. Surely, anyone who fancies muscle has likely had their share of hot Tarzan fantasies, and Scott was the inspiration for most of mine.
