How many Tarzan movies starred Johnny Weissmuller?
Weissmuller starred in six Tarzan movies for MGM with actress Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane and Cheeta the Chimpanzee. The last three also included Johnny Sheffield as Boy. Then, in 1942, Weissmuller went to RKO and starred in six more Tarzan movies with markedly reduced production values. Sheffield also appeared as Boy in the first five features for RKO. Brenda Joyce took over the role of Jane in Weissmuller's last four Tarzan movies (the first two RKO films had not featured Jane).

Watched every one. Swung on a few ropes, since kudzu wasn't a viable alternative.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Cheetah outlive all the actors in the Tarzan films?

Fern Stokes Augusti, your comment, without any support, caused me to check with four different sources. They all claim that 12 is correct.

That was only in 1948. Total was more than 80.

He was the best...I liked Lambert and Skarsgard, but they couldn't carry Johnny's loin cloth...

Fern Stokes Augusti,
You comment doesn't mean much either, since you don't offer an alternative answer with a source to back up your information.
Griping is easy. Try to be more constructive in your criticism.

The first six were pretty good. The last six weren't too much.
