    I'd just like to point out a little bit of history for those curious: Tarzan was a 25 book series, the first book "Tarzan of The Apes" was written in 1912. The first Tarzan movie was a silent film, released in 1918. It attempted to accurately portray the story from the first book. In 1932 the first non silent film adaptation of Tarzan was released, titled "Tarzan The Ape Man", it was loosely based on the novel, but it did invent many tropes that were continued in later Tarzan cinema; the most notable being Tarzan's call, which has remained a staple of the franchise till this very day. Following "Tarzan The Ape Man (1932)"'s release, Hollywood created a franchise of Tarzan films which lasted from 1932 to the 1970's. Following the 1970's, many non franchise Tarzan movies were released, including the one that is being reviewed here by the Snob. Eventually, in 1999, Disney released the well known Tarzan animated film. While the films story left out many plot points and elements from the original novel the theme and moral of the story remained consistent: questioning the meaning of the word "Civilized". Trivia: In the original novel, Clayton and Tarzan were secretly lost cousins. The purpose of this was to contrast the lifestyle of Tarzan with the lifestyle of Clayton: Tarzan was one with nature, a man who peacefully lived with the world around him; whereas Clayton was a coldhearted hunter who killed things for fun. The message of course being that Tarzan's peaceful, non violent nature was what made him more civilized than Clayton. Tarzan's real identity is never revealed in the Disney Cannon movies/shows. In the novel his name was John Clayton. In the original novel, Tarzan teaches himself how to read as a child. He finds the camp where his parents were killed, finds some books, and somehow figures out how to read. Realizing the clear problem with this, many Tarzan adaptations since have had Tarzan taught English and literature after being discovered by other people. In the original book, Tarzan's mother dies of natural causes, and his father is killed by Kerchak. In the original novel, Tarzan becomes "King of The Apes" after killing Kerchak in self defence. Kerchak, despite being one of the main villains of the original novel, plays a completely different role in the 1999 Disney adaptation. In the Disney movie, Kerchak dies after being shot by Clayton. This is incredibly ironic considering that Kerchak was originally characterized as being envious and naturally violent, just like Clayton. What is even more ironic is that Kerchak, in the Disney film, passes his leadership onto Tarzan, which the original Kerchak never would have done, especially seeing as though, in the original novel, he gave up his life in his jealousy and resentment of Tarzan.

    I actually like John Carter, I think it's actually a good movie, it's bad it didn't sell as much. As for the last "Tarzan" movie, (including Disney's) they had little to do to the original book, but each one was kinda "okay" on each own's way. This movie up here is clearly a porn spoof that didn't go as much "X-rated" as it could have been.

    I noticed that elephant too. My only guess would've been that it was an imported one from Asia and they were in East Africa, but why wouldn't be near some sort of pen and in the wild? However, I didn't notice the orangutan. Now that it occurs to me.....those chimps should be kicking around that thing. Reason being chimps are more violent and often hunt other primates, second it like a three to one ratio so they have fair chances.

    To be canonically correct, the "apes" *should* be a man-sized hominin. Though Burroughs did not specify a species, and indeed, hominid lineage was very much uncertain in Burroughs' time, he made it clear the apes were human sized, with some human-like characteristics. They had a stone age culture, and language - thus, the gibberish depicted as spoken used by the apes is within cannon. Though, I do not know if Derek went so far as to make sure their mutterings were in Burroughs' "Mangani" language. ... And, yes, we DID pause the video to discuss this. ;)

    17:45 "That's a smile!" Just imagine the girl from "Me before you" doing this as she met Wil for the first time due to a misunderstanding. I would have laughed my ass off. And yes, this movie looks so messed up that I believe the plot would not be far from Jane's father having an incestuous relationship with her in the jungle so that Tarzan has to come and save her. Last but not least: Around 2000 I read a film review on this Tarzan flick by my favourite film critic (who didn't like it). Amongst other things he wrote that Bo Derek's nudity scenes must have been as exciting as a bucket of valerian tea since in Germany you just had to be at least 12 years old to be permitted to watch this. And now thanks to you, Brad, I have a clearer picture of this wreck.

    Hey Film Critic (SGP), from UK, Europe. Absolutely love Your reviews, especially the ones that cover the worst films out there. Absolutely love it; I'm on the floor laughing. I wonder if there is a niche market for really, really bad films. Because in a way, it's quite amusing. Just wondering if this is a European quirk, or maybe it exists in the United States. Anyway, Your reviews go far beyond others. And your dedication to really bad films just proves this point further - absolute magic. Best wishes and stay safe, Rob. (1/3/2023)
