Movie Reviews

Better than ratings and reviews here suggest

This is basically light hearted action/adv. Movie with comedy elements. Strange that comedy is out of genre description here. And there was lot of it - for instance in early part, where New Yorkers were described as worse than worst beasts in jungle. And of course, did not miss to call that city as different kind of jungle.

Part where they said that monkey may speak Hungarian, then started to drive a car was hilarious.

Screen writer's name Anna Sandor indicates Hungarian origin. And same for Archimedes :-)

Joe Lara does not look as typical tough action movie star. Sensitive part was important, and I think that it was good, and probably the reason for lower ratings by many.

I liked Kim Crosby as Jane, she was exactly what Tarzan needed in for him unknown and hostile environment.

And good side is that movie did not take self too seriously. Actually, this is very good for TV movie.

Rescuing Cheetah

Joe Lara was the latest in a long line of players to take on the role of Tarzan as Edgar Rice Burroughs hero goes to Manhattan to rescue his pal Cheetah. And he thought Africa had some jungles.

Someone has kidnapped Tarzan's favorite simian and has left a few nondescript but telltale clues. With that Tarzan is off to New York.

Where he meets Jane Porter a cabdriver played by Kim Crosby and her father retired detective Tony Curtis. They aid an abet his search for his friend.

Cheetah is in the hands of Jan-Michael Vincent a rich sportsman hunter who doubles as a mad scientist. He has the usual mad scientist nefarious reasons for capturing Cheetah and a whole lot of other apes.

The whole cast plays this one tongue in cheek and it's got some good moments. This is not a film to take seriously.

Though if this is ever remade I'd have Joe Lara wind up in Greenwich Village where at any number of drinking establishments he'd have made all kinds of friends.

Good God, he'd have a personal posse likeno other.

Fun 2 hours

I will admit I watched it to see JM-V but it was fun for a few hours. Some in other reviews feel Joe Lara was the best Tarzan ever as he portrayed him in 20+ Tarzan movies. I remain astounded by how much he reminds me of Nicolas Cage. I don't think he does a bad job at all, for the kind of movie it is. I will not set out to find the other 19 but I did learn he has become a country singer and has a very nice voice. Check his website or YouTube. So, it was fun for few hours not to have to try to keep plots and characters in mind but just laugh. He is not bad as Tarzan but my favorite remains the Disney animated one, or Alexander Skarsgard! If you enjoy Tarzan movies, this should be fun for you.
