I speak only the language of my tribe--the great apes who were Kerchak's; and a little of the languages of Tantor, the elephant, and Numa, the lion, and of the other folks of the jungle I understand. With a human being I have never spoken, except once with Jane Porter, by signs. This is the first time I have spoken with another of my kind through written words.
Tarzan! Or Rousseau Among the Waziri uses this cultural icon to examine depictions of the African jungle and the relationships between humans, apes and other animals in it. What is surprising, on rereading Tarzan of the Apes almost a century after its first appearance in the October 1912 issue of US magazine The All-Story, is author Edgar Rice Burroughs's evident interest in nature versus nurture. He studied On the Origin of Species closely.
Tarzan is often regarded as one of the best-known literary characters in history. He was first introduced by creator Edgar Rice Burroughs in the serialized story "Tarzan of the Apes" (in the pulp All-Story in 1912, book form in 1914), and went on to star in 23 additional novels from Burroughs and published by A.C. McClurg between 1912-1966. Tarzan is a feral white child named John Clayton, marooned somewhere on the African coast with his parents, British aristocrats Lord and Lady Greystoke. The two die soon after their arrival in Africa, leaving young Clayton to be found and raised by a tribe of great apes (who give him the ape-name 'Tarzan').
Tarzan's upbringing brings him heightened strength, agility, speed, climbing ability, and stamina, all of which he uses to defend his loved ones and his beloved jungle from various threats. These include wild animals, rival tribes of apes, lost races that dwell in hidden cities, German troops, strange monsters, and other hazards. In addition to Burroughs' novels, Tarzan has also been featured in numerous unauthorized literary works, multiple films (most notably the franchise starring Johnny Weissmuller between 1932-1948), radio shows, comic books and comic strips, and television programs (particularly the 1966-1968 NBC series starring Ron Ely).
In this epic series, a British royal couple's son is orphaned on the coast of Africa, where he is raised by the great apes of the jungle. Able to walk between two worlds, he becomes not just Lord Greystoke but Tarzan of the Apes. In this beautiful hardcover Collectible Edition, you will find the first three thrilling installments in Edgar Rice Burroughs's landmark adventure. Tarzan of the Apes: A mutiny on board their ship leaves Lord and Lady Greystoke stranded on a desolate African beach with their newborn son. Soon after, the aristocratic couple perishes, leaving the boy an orphan-until the she-ape Kala rescues the infant, names him 'Tarzan' ('white skin'), and raises him as one of her own. As he grows, Tarzan schools himself in the ways of both man and beast and rises to become king of the jungle. But when he falls in love with Jane Porter, a beautiful American explorer, he is forced to choose between the two very different worlds.The Return of Tarzan: The adventure continues across two continents as Tarzan travels back to England, where he becomes embroiled in royal intrigue and espionage. Later, returning to his African jungle home, he is proclaimed leader of the Waziri tribe-and told about a fabulous lost city full of treasure ruled by a beautiful priestess. The priestess falls in love with Tarzan, but he cares only for his fiancee, the American beauty Jane Porter, and when she's kidnapped by a dangerous tribe of apelike men, Tarzan must use all his powers as king of the jungle to rescue her. BBeasts of Tarzan: In this third thrilling installment in Edgar Rice Burroughs's perennially popular series, Tarzan is exiled on a wild island filled with dangers. There, he must enlist the help of a noble panther and a tribe of apes in order to return to the mainland and rescue his wife and infant son from the clutches of his nemesis, the villainous Nikolas Rokoff.
The first half of the film, shot in the wild of western Cameroon and on corresponding sound stages, is inarguably the best the movie has to offer. The combination of lush, dark photography by the great John Alcott (whose 80's credits were almost entirely jungle/nature-based: The Beastmaster, Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, White Water Summer) and excellent monkey makeup design care of Rick Baker* make up a long stretch of impressively mysterious visuals, like the film was set in the overgrown tundra of some foreign planet inhabited by weird ape-like creatures.** Hudson's cinematic reference at the outset is 2001 (probably why he hired Alcott, come to think of it), complete with two-minute grandiloquent overture and wordlessly epic introduction of angry apes calling down the thunder like the Dawn of Man chimps from Kubrick's film. In place of a tall black monolith this simian society is saddled with a human child, adopted by a motherly monkey who's recently lost her own (non-human) baby. The infant of course is John Clayton III, seventh Earl of Greystoke, marooned after Richard Griffiths ("It wasn't my fault!") wrecks the ship transporting his parents upriver. The apes don't know any of this. To them he's just a hairless substitute for the female ape's dead baby (in a pretty funny moment, she finds li'l Tarzan and discards the corpse of her own kid, which she's been dragging around sentimentally like a dilapidated stuffed animal - toss!) Most of the apes are accepting of this except for one ferocious bully - the one responsible for the death of the ape mama's baby and Tarzan's (human) father - whose general dickishness leads to a monkey civil war.
With child actors representing tiny Tarzan, Lambert doesn't appear until 40 minutes into the movie and, like Schwarzenegger in his first big performance as Conan, doesn't speak right away. His first line isn't quite as iconic as Conan's "lamentation of their women" mission statement; it's one word - "Razor!" - that Holm teaches him (I guess he didn't notice Tarzan's already figured out how to shave). However actions speak louder than words, and Tarzan's been busy integrating himself as prince of primates, presenting a maimed panther to the colony and rolling around with the body a little before tearing its leg clean off - the apes shit themselves when they see this but are undoubtedly grateful for the food.
** Baker's monkey designs would go unmatched until his take on the residents of the Planet of the Apes in the otherwise unforgivable 2001 remake. He also had the unenviable task of following Willis O'Brien, recreating King Kong for that 1976 remake. Will Rick Baker ever create apes for a decent, original fucking movie?
Edgar Rice Burroughs first came up with the character of Tarzan in his 1912 novel, "Tarzan of the Apes." In 1999, Disney studios brought the tale of an orphaned boy raised by kindly apes in the African wilderness to life. British musician Phil Collins wrote and recorded most of the music included in the movie.
"Planet of the Apes" is now a full-blown franchise that includes many feature-length films over the decades, but it was this 1968 film that started it all. The movie is about three human astronauts who find themselves stranded on a planet where walking, talking apes are the rulers and humans are their slaves. A sharp social commentary, the movie doesn't sacrifice any action or adventure in the quest to make its point.
