Trivia Popular mythology claims that Johnny Weissmuller did his own high-dive stunt in Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942). In the film, an escaping Tarzan jumps 200 feet (61 m) from the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, but according to ERBzine and research on Edgar Rice Burroughs, the shot was filmed by cameraman Jack Smith on top of the MGM scenic tower on lot 3, using a dummy plunging into a tank of water.

Goofs Cheetah is shown drinking from three of four bottles in Jane's suitcase and then throwing each of those three bottles away. But after the alcohol bottle is discarded, a medium view of the suitcase reveals all four bottles still in their carrier in the suitcase. See more »
