Their was a thread about Blacks in Asia ( Ancient) & this movie came to mind. I have always been a big Woody Strode fan ; I saw this movie a while back & just got it on DVD late last year ! It is a Tarzan movie made in 1963 called," Tarzan's 3 Challenges". Now I'm not a Tarzan fan but what makes this grade B movie so interesting is that Woody Strode is playing a royal along with other African American actors of the royal court of Thailand ! This is truly color blind casting ! But again, this is a Tarzan movie with the actor Jack Mahoney(White) playing the African (Tarzan). Woody Strode is in fine form here, playing the hated villain out to steal the throne. This movie was shoot in Thailand with some very opulent scenes for a" B movie". Woody Strode is a fine actor who never got the chance to really show what he can throw down, but this film is an exception, along with" Sargent Rutledge" 1960 & a film he did later called" Black Jesus" which is also on You Tube. This film on You Tube is not in parts but the full film at 1hour & 40 min. Woody Strode has always had a Royal baring about him( Leo )which is perfect for this role ! If you want to see brothers in a way you are not use to seeing us, watch this film ! It good entertainment if nothing else !! Woody is now among the ancestors , so lets give him a shoot out by watching this film !
