Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Francis Freespirit Riviere Miles O'Keefe was not only the most spectacular looking Tarzan ever,a and he acted for all what were required from the Tarzan's standards with a realistic touch of goodness, innocence and playfulness. His role was mute and that credit(or blame) should go to the film director With a different movie script, using some of realistic story line, Miles ability would have been shown in the best Tarzan movieMiles is also absolutely gorgeous and magnificent in SAS in San Salvador as Prince Malko and special agent. he was excellent in the role. He exudes seduction and sexiness and at the same time He was elegant, relaxed, mysterious, and decisive in actions . I thought he outplayed the character of the most sexy special agent ever played !
Julie Benson The one thing that Tarzan and Jane have in common in this movie is that neither wears underwear. Tarzan is presumed by that loin cloth, but Bo Derek makes sure the audience knows it...no bra, wet see thru clothing, and sometimes totally nude, but certain parts still hid. Director John Derek had a great canvas with Bo to put on screen. She is simply stunning, and one of the most stunning actresses in movie history. That said, the movies she made were mainly stupid, including this one. Bo's style of making Jane innocent is sort of fun to watch, but this is a film that is best watched at home, where you can fast-forward through Richard Harris' parts, and much of the rest of it. This film is only for the Bo Derek-body watchers. She delivers in that respect. Only lately has Bo started making pretty decent films. But this film highlights her top-achievement in the 1980's - the bra-less wet-look, displayed in a way that makes it look oh, so natural.
TxMike Yes, Bo Derek was (and probably is still) a beautiful woman to look at, but in this day of beautiful young women to me she comes across as more ordinary in a present day viewing of the movie. This is a famously bad movie, designed apparently just to showcase Bo Derek's external beauty, because as an actress she offers very, very little. It is interesting however just to take a glimpse of this lady when she was in her 20s. The most attractive scenes are near the end when she is held captive by dangerous natives and a group of young natives are painting her body white all over.Also there are some very gratuitous shots of her and Tarzan and the Orangutan cavorting on sand or dirt as the credits roll. But overall the movie is dull and slow-moving. Bo Derek is the star as Jane Parker and her father is played by Richard Harris as James Parker. Jane's boy-toy Tarzan is played by Miles O'Keeffe.Brief synopsis, they go into the jungle, Jane gets captured by no-goods, Tarzan comes to the rescue, Jane and Tarzan live happily ever after in the jungle.
Tracy_Terry_Moore Sexy Tarzan adventure with Bo Derek as 'Jane'.Director John Derek presents a creative version of the Edgar Rice Burrough's classic with his wife Bo traveling to the Amazon to seek her father 'William Parker' (Richard Harris, in a wonderfully colorful performance).Monkeys, snakes, elephants, and other animals make up the supporting cast as Jane joins her Dad to seek Tarzan on top of a rock that 'goes on forever and ever'. Things get even more interesting when a motley group of pygmies intrude on Parker's excursion, including the best scene in the film where the females of the tribe rub their hands all over Bo's body as they wash and paint her with green clay.Some say this movie is an atrocity; on the other hand, if you like Bo, it's the best Tarzan film ever made.
