No, it's not a good move. And Miles O'Keeffe as Tarzan is miles away from being a good actor. But I freely admit I'm remembering this through the rosy glasses of adolescent nostalgia, rather than impartial adulthood. When I was a kid, Bo Derek was a phenomenon for her 15 minutes, and a Tarzan movie that depicted her in less-than-modest attire seeme...
To me, Tarzan's son is Korak, a powerful hero in his own right in the Burroughs novels (as well as a number of comic series and... ahem... my Sunday strip). But film audiences are familiar with Boy, an orphan found by Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) and Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan) in a plane crash. Played by Johnny Sheffield, the character's introduction...
I'm forever fascinated by the portrayals of fictional icons like Batman, Superman, Sherlock Holmes and James Bond through ensuing eras and actors. This is the first appearance by Lex Barker as Tarzan, stepping in after Weissmuller left the part, and doing a credible job of making the role his own. The plot is pretty standard stuff about a lost avia...
There's a Tarzan novel by Burroughs titled "Tarzan the Magnificent," but this story isn't that story. Gordon Scott stars as Tarzan, his sixth and final time in the role. Scott's initial films called for his Tarzan to follow the Weissmuller monosyllabic take, but he would later play Tarzan much closer to the original intellectual model. The plot her...
The first film appearance of Tarzan, just six years after his initial publication. Fairly faithful to the source material and filmed in Louisiana, the silent film stars burly Elmo Lincoln as Tarzan and Enid Markey as Jane in what amounts to an origin story. A long-standing rumor claims that Lincoln actually killed a lion onscreen for the film, the ...
Introduces former Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller in the role that would make him a film icon. No, this is not Tarzan exactly as Burroughs envisioned him, but it's the version that captured the popular imagination for decades. Weissmuller was a man of few words and much action, and audiences loved him. He portrayed Tarzan in a dozen films, six o...
Shot on location in Africa, this is Gordon Scott's best turn as Lord of the Apes, his portrayal more in keeping with the Burroughs canon. Tarzan follows a plundering, murderous band of thieves upriver, picking them off individually and setting up a final confrontation with their leader, played by Anthony Quayle, in a diamond mine. One of the scound...
The combination of Disney's classic animation and the pulp storytelling of Burroughs is such a natural fit, it's surprising it didn't happen sooner. This was the first movie we took our son to see in the theater, and he was so terrified by the initial 30 minutes that he eventually fled the theater with me chasing him. I had to go back and see it ag...
The idea of a serious Tarzan movie was met with skepticism, but "Greystoke" largely pulled it off. Christopher Lambert isn't the prototypical, muscular Tarzan, but his lean, lithe build helped bring a veneer of realism to the usually more fable-like Tarzan tradition. For me, though, the real star is makeup maestro Rick Baker, who brought the Great ...
Elected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, the best of the Weissmuller-O'Sullivan films is notorious for its action and sensuality. "Tarzan and His Mate" features a bevy of wild animals, including a battle between elephants and lions, Tarzan riding a rhino, and the first appearance of the classic Tarzan-vs.-a...
