I always liked this movie as a kid, and was happy to see it held up as an adult. Some of the best scenery ever filmed, as well as Bo Dereck's scenery of the anatomical variety. The animals play a big role in the film, but some of the slow motion sequences needed to be shortened. This is one of my ten most underrated films, (all of which did great at the box office but got brutalized by critics, though even Roger Ebert half heartedly defended it, which I was surprised by,

Good movie, but concentrates on the "Jane" far more than the Tarzan. I think he swings through the trees one time only. On the other hand, Demi Moore is easy to look at... Richard Harris does not live up to his own standards.

This is a great movie considering the work that went into it. Pre-Weissmuller but John Derek had done a magnificent job in training his wife. There was not one fragment of the movie that was not believable. The smallest details of what you might expect in the situations as presented were addressed. EXCEPT FOR THE SNAKE: NOBODY GETS AWAY WITH MESSING WITH A SNAKE LIKE THAT ONE. This is a great movie made in a time when it would have never seen the screen in my home town. Too real too violent for it's time but NOBODY CAN FAULT BO DEREK Watching her face you can clearly see what is on her mind and that is fantastic acting. Oh, you don't get to see Jane swing on a vine like the cover shows. And she wears her Heidi Whities not a thong like the cover.
This movie is more about Bo Derek than Tarzan. if you want to see Bo Derek "a natural" this is the movie for you. It is interesting to have a Tarzan movie where the character does not speak English, but communicates with "Jane" in ways that everyone can understand.
