She re-appears screaming with a large python hanging in front of her. She walks behind a large tree and just disappears! This is done intentionally because they had to get her out of the picture so somebody could bring out the snake and drape it over her without us seeing it happen. In the big snake scene, we see Jane alone in the jungle after she escapes from Tarzan and is trying to get back to her father. This scene foreshadows the later snake scene and lets us know that there is danger lurking in the jungle. We see a small part of the snake, then back to the credits. She's behind some mosquito netting when she sees a snake that is climbing in at the top of the net and she screams. During the opening credits we see her at night on the boat. It's 1910 and Jane has paid to be taken on a boat up a river in Africa to find her father who is searching for an elephant graveyard. It's not even so bad it's good bad, which is usually the best one can ask for of any snake scene in a movie.īefore the big snake fight scene, there is another snake scene at the beginning of the movie. Yes, I was disappointed that Derek was clothed for the scene, but I was even more disappointed in how boring the scene is.
I watched this to see the scene where Jane is attacked by a huge snake.
#TARZAN THE APE MAN 1981 FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
She knew what her fans wanted to see and she gave it, and the movie made plenty of profit. Bo Derek produced it and her husband directed it so I can't complain that the Hollywood system exploited another poor young actress, forcing her to take her clothes off onscreen. The movie is full of these sexual innuendos. But there is one scene that's not to be missed - Jane announces to herself, with a bit of surprise, that she's still a virgin (she expected/hoped that Tarzan was going to rape her.) Then we see her peeling a banana and talking to an unconscious Tarzan, working it out in her head that he must also be a virgin, as she slides the banana into her mouth. Of course, nobody watches this movie to see Bo Derek act, and besides, Richard Harris over acts so much that they couldn't fit any more acting on screen if they wanted to. Tarzan never says a word, but everybody else's dialogue is laughably bad. It seems like the apes get more screen time than he does. It wasn't a terrible idea to tell the Tarzan story from the perspective of Jane, and she does throw in some feminist comments about women's lack of freedom, but there's very little Tarzan. It was nominated for lots of "worst movie" awards to which I would respectfully submit a nomination for "worst snake scene." This rare R-rated Tarzan movie is little more than a vehicle to show off Bo Derek, with an endless stream of glamour close-ups of her face, and several nude scenes. Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.
