Watch movie tarzan the ape man 1981 online
Aother scene has Tarzan rescuing Jane from a tribe of natives who roughly wash her and then cover her in mud, which I'm assuming director John Derek (Bo's husband) meant to be erotic. High points of camp include Tarzan pawing at Jane in a very odd early courtship scene. Pretty, but talentless Bo Derek plays Jane. "Tarzan the Ape Man" is so awful that it does achieve Ed Wood/Showgirls levels of so-bad-it's-good, which makes this film essential viewing for fans of bad cinema.
Instead of this being a story about a man who was raised by apes, it's a story about the sexual awakening of Jane, and it's a ludicrously awful awakening. Just caught this wretched movie the other night.Reviewed by a_chinn 4 / 10 This ain't Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan!Įdgar Rice Burroughs is reduced to softcore porn. #Watch tarzan the ape man 1981 online movie Had heard terrible things about it for years, and indeed it was bad - in a fun way though mostly. One thing I had absolutely not been prepared for at all was Perry Botkin's wonderful, brilliantly-orchestrated and romantic score! I'd never even ehard of the composer, and doing a little research it appears he is best-known for his electronic, non-filmmusic compositions. Crying shame, because if this score is any indication he has a wonderful and very unique symphonic voice. Here's a link to the last few minutes of the film, including the awesome and extended end title suite (try to ignore the fact that it plays out over footage of a topless Bo Derek wrestling w/ a primate). This is a really, really impressive effort and I'm amazed it's never been mentioned around here, that I could find. The orchestrations here really are inspired and lovely, creating a perfect 'jungle-like' ambiance a la John Scott's 'Greystoke'. Have you heard any of these? Any recommendations? Very nice score, i agree, however MR Botkin was active in film scoring in the 70' 80's and beyond, he scored about 2 dozen films, good scores like Bless the beast and the children,Skyjacked, They only killed their masters, Goin south etc etc. Skyjacked was a good action score and a very nice main theme which was sung back then by a few pop singers. They kill only their masters, i thought was another good score, more laidback then Skyjacked, but also had a good theme as well. Goin South, was not your typical western score, like The long riders It tried to be innovator and different from the norm.
As i said, he scored over 2 dozen films and there were others i liked as well. I concur that Skyjacked is a pretty good score. The main title music starts at about the one minute mark. Thanks, bob- the music that was sung from that movie, probably was the love theme, somewhere in the middle of the movie, because the opening and close credit music was other music, i can't right now remember who was the singer, i had an lp of it years ago, also i believe Roger williams did a piano instrumental on the theme on one of his lp s. which i had years ago, before i sold my giant LP collection when i moved cross country years ago.Īs can be seen by the opening and closing credits sequences, there's no song credited on screen.

Shame Botkin never seemed to rise to the ranks of the a-listers. #Watch tarzan the ape man 1981 online movieĬertainly TARZAN, THE APE MAN is a beautiful, gorgeously-orchestrated score.
