While undemanding viewers and children may find something to enjoy in TARZAN AND THE LOST CITY, most viewers will be left bewildered, shaking their heads at the wasted opportunity to make an entertaining action adventure. It could very well be the worst Tarzan movie ever made.

The most misleading thing about this movie is the title – TARZAN THE APE MAN. While Tarzan does appear in the film – from about the 60 minute mark – the story is primarily about Jane Parker (Bo Derek) and her journey to Africa to find her estranged father, James Parker (Richard Harris).

TARZAN AND THE GREAT RIVER was made in 1967 when spymania still had some legs in it (1965 was the peak), so Mike Henry’s Tarzan is a suited and booted globe-trotting trouble shooter – not quite a Bondian superspy but certainly a jet-setting man-of-the world.
