Rating:  - One of the worst movies I have ever seen
I haven't seen this film since 1981, here's a little of what I remember:
Poorly written script highlighted by perhaps the most boring monologue ever given by a decent actor (Richard Harris).
Poorly choreographed fight scenes (Tarzan vs big snake, Tarzan vs native).
Poor cinematography & editing: e.g. An excruciatingly long shot up a cliff. Bizarre and blurry camera work during a otherwise lame snake wrestling scene.
I agree with the poster who said that this ... Read More
Rating: - Has to be seen to be believed.
John Derek's "Tarzan the Ape Man" is a strange movie. In Maltin's Movie Guide, Leonard Maltin says he almost felt he needed to devise a rating below "BOMB", his lowest rating, in order to rade "Tarzan the Ape Man".
So, is it really that bad? Not really. Is it good? Not really. Is it worth watching? Definitely.
First of all, the movie is not so much about Tarzan as about Jane, and her relationship with her estranged father, explorer James Parker. Great actor Richard Harris ... Read More
Rating:  - Jungle fever for Bo!
One need only look at the cover of this DVD to see what the story is really about. It's not Tarzan, but Jane. Bo Derek is the #1 selling point of the film, and she is basically the only reason anyone should bother buying this DVD. Bo Derek is certainly the sexiest Jane ever. However, she is not the best Jane ever. That distinction belongs to Andie McDowell in Greystoke - The Legend of Tarzan. As such, the whole story is centered around her and her attempts to reconcile with her estranged father ... Read More
Rating:  - Make Camp...
When Bo Derek emerged from Blake Edwards's hit 10 as a cornrow-sporting sex symbol, she and her Svengali-like mentor John Derek--who'd been, at one time, a wooden movie pinup himself--decided that together they'd "create" Bo's subsequent starring vehicles. This collaboration resulted in a trio of Bad Movies To Love, including the 1981 Tarzan, the Ape Man. "Produced" by Bo and "directed and photographed" by John, Tarzan reduced Edgar Rice Burrough's far-from-classic work to the level of a magazine spread ... Read More
Rating: - Me Trazan, You, lousey movie
I had never seen any of John Derek's movies before just recently and wasn't familiar with his work. After seeing this, I understood what his movies were all about : putting his beautiful woman on a pedastal, make her an object of desire, and sort of indirectly taunt the audience saying "This woman is with ME". He did that with Ursula Andress, Linda Evans, and finally Bo Derek. Substancewise, this movie leaves much to be desired (and I'm not talking about THAT desire).
Bo plays Jane, who comes ... Read More
