#Tarzan the ape man 1981 bo derek nude full

Richard Harris shouted his lines at full volume apparently trying to make up for all the non-acting from his two co-stars. It takes 40 minutes before Bo finally says вЂњIвЂ™m going to take a bath.вЂќ We waited.

Both actors are renowned for their vacuous stares and unearthly physiques. Bo went on to take her clothes off in all of hubby John DerekвЂ™s subsequent films while Miles went on to star in the dreadful Ator the Fighting Eagle (1982) and its Mystery Science Theatre 3000 -worthy sequels. Perhaps thatвЂ™s because Jane was played by the directorвЂ™s wife (Bo Derek) and Tarzan was played by first-time actor Miles OвЂ™Keefe a beefy charisma vacuum who took the role at the last minute after Bo decided that the originally cast Lee Canalito wasnвЂ™t muscle-y enough. The posters advertisements pre-release hype and the story itself all focus on TarzanвЂ™s girlfriend Jane instead of on the Lord of the Apes himself. The all-time champion of the celebrated вЂњfilms we only watched for the nudityвЂќ might very well be Tarzan the Ape Man (1981) a huge blockbuster that wound up being the only R-rated version of the Tarzan story that we ever got. (You kids today donвЂ™t know how good you have it etc. There was also the interminable lead time in which the film dawdled around with irrelevant вЂњplotвЂќ making us wait for the nudity. We subjected ourselves to Heavy Metal (1981) and The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak (1984) in the hopes of glimpsing a few jiggling breasts (animated or otherwise) and the stultifying stupidity of the surrounding feature film was only noticeable in retrospect.

#Tarzan the ape man 1981 bo derek nude movie

In the pre-Internet days of the 1980s horny youngsters were perfectly willing to sit through an entire terrible movie in the hopes of glimpsing some boobs. You almost have to think that 1984's literary Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation GREYSTOKE: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN, LORD OF THE APES had to be a response to this colossal, career-killing fiasco.The most insane threesome of all time is just an end-credits sequence

Bo won the Best Actress Razzie for her stellar work in TARZAN with Harris losing Best Actor and O'Keeffe losing Best New Star to double-Razzie winner Klinton Spilsbury for THE LEGEND OF THE LONE RANGER.

The Dereks' controversial 1984 follow-up BOLERO is also a steaming pile of shit, but at least that went out unrated and didn't skimp on the skin and the sex scenes, and both that and TARZAN are classics compared to the Dereks' 1990 'comedy' GHOSTS CAN'T DO IT, a film so bad that even the presence of Donald Trump in a supporting role is maybe the fourth or fifth worst thing about it. Other than a skinny-dip 45 minutes in, Bo's much-ballyhooed nude scenes are confined to the climax where she's painted by some natives, and then over the closing credits when she's topless and horsing around with C.J. John Derek was possibly the worst major filmmaker of the 1980s, and his staging of the action scenes here is beyond inept, always in slow-motion with some blurry effect. Bo plays his estranged daughter, who tags along and ends up abducted by Tarzan (a debuting Miles O'Keeffe), with Harris and a wildlife photographer (John Phillip Law) in pursuit. Harris never stops yelling about 'that son-of-a-bitch white ape!,' and it's arguably the worst performance of his career, and you know what? TARZAN THE APE MAN deserves it. Kurtz leading an expedition through the jungles of 1910 Africa to find the legendary 'white ape' known as Tarzan. Much of Marlon Brando's Irish-brogued performance in THE MISSOURI BREAKS feels like a tribute to his MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY co-star Harris, so it's possible Harris is repaying the favor here, perhaps intoxicated and seemingly making it up as he goes along but doing so at the top of his voice, like a bellowing Col. Perhaps it was a bad omen when the first bit of nudity we see in this is Richard Harris' junk dangling from under his nightshirt when he squats down into a river. Though incessant media hype and moviegoer curiosity made it a big hit (it opened in first place at the box office),TARZAN THE APE MAN is a tedious and impossibly boring Sri Lanka travelogue first and live-action Bo pictorial second, and for all the chatter at the time about how sexed-up this was, it's pretty limp in that department, pun intended. Opened 40 years ago this weekend, an anniversary that more or less marked the beginning of the end of post-10 Bo-mania, with the stunning Bo Derek becoming a willing participant in the implosion of her career at the hand of Svengali perv husband John Derek.
