Tarzan Shame Of The Jane3/17/2021
I dont know what voice Bill Murray did, and the late Adolf Ceasar also has a nothing voice role also.Lotsa slapstick, politically incorrect humor, not just about sex, but also about colonization (Africa - the continent where life is spun by a thinner thread than other places).The animation is fluent and rich, the soundtrack is rocknrolling and this is really a bellylaugh-a-minute movie.
Some people are likely to find the movie quite provocative but this is better natured than Fritz the Cat, which on occation turned quite violent without the redeeming humor, but there is certainly a kinship. The humor occationally gets quite elephantine, quite literary Highly entertaining. We thought this film was SO COOL And watched it several times over the space of couple of years. There are some funny visual jokes - especially if you happen to be 14 years old Ill always remember with a grin, the monkey and the troops of penis-soldiers. We liked it - it was naughty - it was funny I dare say that as an adult I expect the jokes may be a bit tired and predictable. My memory of the film still makes me laugh and have not seen it for 30 years or so I wonder what I would think if I watched it again now aged 45. Its playground humour will not appeal to everybody, but anyone one who hasnt seen it should give it a go. It will entertain anybody who finds VIZ funny or people who giggle when they fart in a lift and then leave at the next floor, or people who get into a lift just to fart and then leave on the same floor The animation is very good for its time and it is what it is. Great. And yes - spoiler alert - its got bouncing genitals, O.T.T. Its just very, very funny. And very, very inventive, in a way Ive never seen before or since. MAYBE another spoiler alert - All the genitals have their own little personalities - youre laughing with them more than at them. The queens intentionally ridiculous, not at all sexy - which Im pretty sure is intentional - just O.T.T. You feel for Shane - hes a well-meaning dork but everythings out of his control all the way through. And Jaynes full-on blowup-doll fun If youre expecting a French Hentai, wrong movie. BUT - if youre after an extremely CLEVER flick that takes all the elements that SHOULD be a hentai and makes a great slapstick and oddly non-sexual comedy out of them that will have you howling with laughter, youve found your Promised Land. Its just a full-on, great fun, raunchy comedy with a belly-laugh every couple of scenes and images that are so crazy you wont forget them for a long time. I loved it when I schneaked into the cinema when it first came out (I was WAAY underage) and its lost none of its humour for me still. It might be funny to see marching genitalia, a monkey poking a womans naked breasts or the Tarzan character getting his penis stretched to impossible lengths the first couple of times, but thats really all the film has going for it in the humour department. A shame, because the animation is actually pretty good, and whoever came up with the rich soundtrack score deserved to see his work put to better use. The film achieved a minor cult following in the early days of home video in England due to its explicit (for the time) subject matter and the novelty value of seeing cute characters behaving badly. The film was barely released (played in Seattle as TARZOON;SHAME OF THE JUNGLE in only one drive-in with a small ad in 1979) This film only got any kind of release was because of the voice talent of John Belushi who has a thankless voice role in a unfunny material he wrote ().
