Can I give my list of who specifically I don't want to see wearing a loin-cloth? :shock:

Cool gear, but REALLY BAD editing. Tarzan at first has no Aqualung and in various fight scenes he is actively using an Aqualung!?! I guess he had it hidden in his loincloth! When I saw this as a kid I didn't notice such things. Oh for the ignorance of youth! It's all the VDH forums fault!!!! LOL :mrgreen:

Who ever does will have to change gear quickly....he put on and took off gear during a couple of the fights. :)

As for the loin cloth, at least the water will be cold. :D
