3.0 out of 5 stars Too much Jane and Not Enough Tarzan?, Mar 7 2007

By	Alison Bell "Alison" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tarzan (1981): Ape Man (DVD)

For those who want to see a movie in keeping with Edgar Rice Burroughs' vision of the abandoned child turned apeman, this movie is definitely not for you, go rent Greystoke instead. (an excellent movie btw.) This adaptation is more of an adult version of "The Perils of Pauline" and if you can see past the ridiculous dialogue the movie is otherwise quite entertaining and certainly titilating The reason why the adventure centers around "virginal" Jane Parker, is the movie is directed by Svengali Director John Derek and Jane is played by his much younger blonde beauty wife, Bo Derek and was probably why you don't see much of Tarzan throughout the movie and why they cast an unknown actor to play the supposed title role (Miles O' Keefe). Looking back this was merely a publicity machine to further Bo's career after her recent fame as a global sex symbol in Blake Edwards "10." The other big name is Richard Harris, who's ability was certainly wasted in this one. In various costumes, (or lack thereof), Jane looked ravishing and this is proven when at the end of the movie, the local mud clad, ivory worshipping, natives took a shine to her, after capturing the expedition and they prepare Jane for a fate worse than death, where for several minutes she's stripped naked, tied down and ceremoniously washed down by "inquisitive" native handmaidens, who then proceed to hand painting her in creamy white paint in readiness for the amorous big Chief. Back in the day this scenario proved to be the final straw for the Rice Burroughs estate and a lawsuit ensued to try and cut such racy scenes, a compromise was made before release which is the final product. The deleted scenes "somehow" found their way onto the blackmarket exchanging hands for quite large sums of money the time of release!. (Through an older siblings video distribution company I was fortunate to once see these cut scenes ...it's a pity they can't reappear and find their way back into the original print!). the most tongue in cheek Tarzan movie you will ever see, which in my opinion, strangely helps give it some allure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bo Derek is all wet, Oct 3 2006

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Tarzan (1981): Ape Man (DVD)

Directed by John Derek, now I wonder how Bo got the part. Does not matter how she got there it is fun to watch her get wet every time you turn around. She was wet in "10" (1979) but here she is all wet.

This is a simple adaptation of the Tarzan story where Jane joins her father (Richard Harris) in an expedition. He tells here of the Tarzan legend. She wanders off. During her wet period Tarzan (Miles O'Keeffe) appears on the scene and plucks her. Bo sort of monkeys around. And Tarzan gets snaked. Daddy gets stuck and we all live happily ever after? Or do we?

4.0 out of 5 stars The most Sensuous Tarzan, Mar 31 2004

By	R. J Westafer (Aventura, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tarzan, the Ape Man (VHS Tape)

As a longtime Tarzan aficionado (I've read all the books),I just had to write a review for this Tarzan film, because I love it! Yes, Richard Harris is embarrassingly over-the-top. Yes, Bo's acting is sophomoric. Yes, the plot plods, and, yes the slo-mo snake scene is overlong. BUT! First, the music is exquisite. I have searched for years for the soundtrack to this movie! Second, the on-location filming was first rate. The lagoon and tree house were exactly as you would expect Tarzan's world to look. Third, the nudity was for the most part, appropriate to turn-of-the century Africa. Fourth, and most importantly, Miles O'Keeffe was an incredibly sexy Tarzan! Tarzan is a savage, sensuous literary character, and this Tarzan personifies that image. As a gay man, I enjoyed watching Tarzan as much as I suppose the Derek's were hoping straight men were enjoying Bo! Now if they had only shown HIM naked! Now, about that soundtrack...

2.0 out of 5 stars Oh no, not another Bo.
This was supposed to by about Tarzan, but it ended up being about Bo Derek, who naturally steals the film with her flimsy clothes or lack thereof. Read the book. Read more
