What I love about this scene is when Tarzan imitates that guy mocking him by mimicking and what I love is that you can't tell if he's just being a mimic and doesn't really get the implication of what guy is saying or if he knows he's being mocked and decides to show that guy what he sounds like, I think it's the second but still you can't really tell.
Def the latter. Johnny clocks Lord Esker trying to get shot of him to Eton, by the way he says he's been gone long enough and the way he glared at Charles whilst saying it. Then there's a quick moody glance to Charles when he hears him saying "oh nonsense" to Jane remarking how pretty English is spoken with a French accent, before trolling Charles. He said "Charles!!" in a mocking way in a later scene. Soon as Johnny clocked Lord Esker around Jane, he hated him, and Charles was jealous of Johnny, I mean who wouldn't be, he was a lord, viscount, heir and absolutely gorgeous lol. Really subtlety done so we wonder, but watching a few times, he's definitely giving the FU to Lord Esker 😂
You have to admit out of all the Tarzan movies out there, this is, if not one of the best. Love this scene! The rest of the movie is alittle on the sad side, but this scene is super cool. Thanks for posting.
This movie had so much potential and dropped the ball! The real Jane Porter -not Parker- [as written by Edgar Rice Burroughs] was born and raised in Baltimore Maryland. Her father was Archimedes Porter was an ordained minister who marry them at the end of the second novel "The Return of Tarzan." D'Arnot was a French Naval Officer and not a hunting guide. Tarzan killed his ape foster-father when he was young and his first spoken language was French, taught to him by D'Arnot.
Greystoke The Legend of Tarzan. One of the greatest movies no one knows about. It'a about Tarzan yes from the Jungle trying to adapt to regular life. Two of my favorite films have Christopher Lambert in them. This one and Highlander. Back when movies were made with such awesome cinematophery. I know misspelled it.
People, Jane Porter is not supposed to be English. In Burrough's original books, she and her father are American (from Baltimore). It was the 1930s films that changed her surname to Parker and made her English, and subsequent adaptations, including Disney,followed suit. But GREYSTOKE was based on Burrought's original book and intent.
SHE IS NOT!! She is the daughter of a professor and very opinionated about things (like girls from America marrying English nobility). She is honorable enough to marry a man she does not love because she gave her word, and in further books (Tarzan the Terrible) becomes quite proficient in jungle craft and a true Diana of the Jungle. Burrough's heroines are always feisty and proud. She is just the product of her time and station. Any "dumbness" she has is because she is not accustomed to jungle life, she is a city girl. I would like to see anyone around here take on a gorilla that can dead lift 400 pounds or a lion that is built to kill. Her fear in the book is natural and understandable. She even can foresee the sly underhanded motivations of a man who invests in her father's research when her father can't.
I have a copy of the novel hand dated 1918. It is not in the best of shape. I have to lay it flat on a table and turn the pages carefully. Certainly the best Tarzan movie I've ever seen.
Jane was meant to be American so they weren't trying to give her a better English accent. I think the problem is Andie has a southern American accent and that's not the American accent they wanted for the film.
Now, imagine this scene, set up, shot and acted with the exact same serious realism but instead of a panther, someone asks Johny to immitate Eva Angelina
As far as the characters created by Burroughs, the movie dropped the ball! I, like many others who have read the novels, do care, and didn't care for the distorted concept! You should look in the mirror.
THE character of TARZAN he was dressing suit with long Brown hair and green eyes in the human civilization of humans with Jane Porter and her dad the profesor Arquímedes Porter
Enough with the dropping the ball. There was no ball and nothing was dropped. It is an incredibly melancholy from huston, his last movie. Wait until you have some wisdom. Oh... As for WHAT WAS IN THE BOOK; NEWSWIRE: No-one ever cared. It's the concept, see. No you don't see. Ahhh. This web deserves a better class of commenters.
I agree with you; and Tarzan's nudity in itself is erotic and, psychoanalytically speaking, it says a lot about Burrough's own sex-life; as Angelo's paintings say a lot about the artist's homosexuality, if you will. But the erotic tones you referred to should be rendered subtly; otherwise the work would be a flop.

A masterpiece really...
What a treasure Ralph Richardson is.

Christopher Lambert does a great leopard growl in this scene.

This was before people used their cell phones at the dinner tables.
I realize it's pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
I love this movie!
I thought I was the only one who could roar like that
After "razor" Christophe Lambert learned: "Zere canne bi onli wan!"
😂😜
Not gonna lie, Andie Macdowell was really gorgeous in this movie.
Her voice was dubbed over by Glenn Close.
Her daughter looks exactly like her when she was this age.
Drop dead gorgeous 😮
I have a copy of the novel hand dated 1918.
It is not in the best of shape. I have to lay it flat on a table and turn the pages carefully. Certainly the best Tarzan movie I've ever seen.
What's funny is that Glenn Close also did the voice of Kala in Disney's Tarzan!
It's even funnier that Glenn Close isn't even in this movie
GameStation3. who gives a flying fuck???!!!!
If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.
Glenn Close is in it. Her voice was dubbed over MacDowell's as hers was too Southern States to pass as an English woman.
He doesn't know any better. He was left for dead
@phlashba I just learned about that and came here to hear Jane's 'voice' again. ^_^ I'm still surprised that i'm hearing Glenn.
O velho amava o neto Tarzan
Jane was meant to be American so they weren't trying to give her a better English accent. I think the problem is Andie has a southern American accent and that's not the American accent they wanted for the film.
Very Realistic!
Wow, Glenn Close sounds nothing like Andie MacDowell.
Bilbo came back from his adventure to the mountains.
Vcs tem em português???
# el Lord de GREYSTOKE TARZAN
# the Lord of GREYSTOKE TARZAN
@phlashba actually Steven Soderbergh doing a falsetto dubbed the voice. They met on set of Sex Lies and Chocolate.
# LOrd of # greystoke Tarzan
Now, imagine this scene, set up, shot and acted with the exact same serious realism but instead of a panther, someone asks Johny to immitate Eva Angelina
I sure wish I could figure out how to wack this movie from start to finish!I have tried time and a gain and all I get is disappointed!
Very realistic. 🤔
As far as the characters created by Burroughs, the movie dropped the ball!
I, like many others who have read the novels, do care, and didn't care for the distorted concept!
You should look in the mirror.
She's not supposed to be English, the character is an American girl. Andie MacDowell supposedly did not sound refined enough.
THE character of TARZAN he was dressing suit with long Brown hair and green eyes in the human civilization of humans with Jane Porter and her dad the profesor Arquímedes Porter
In the original book of tarzan of the apes Jane Porter she was Blonde hair by usa Baltimore,she was married by other men called Robert Canler
When you need to learn about your origins
TarzAn in the human civilization of men
In the original book TARZAN of the apes by Edgar rice Burroughs Jane Porter she was married by other man Robert Canler
# tarzan with suit
We love this movie! Check out our Greystoke podcast: theretrocinema.com/005-greystoke/
DONT DO THAT IS POOR TABLE MANNERS. SIT UP STRAIGHT.
Enough with the dropping the ball. There was no ball and nothing was dropped. It is an incredibly melancholy from huston, his last movie. Wait until you have some wisdom.
Oh... As for WHAT WAS IN THE BOOK; NEWSWIRE: No-one ever cared. It's the concept, see. No you don't see. Ahhh. This web deserves a better class of commenters.
andie idol.
This is not Burrough's Tarzan; this movie is too erotic !
Well Burrough's novels had some homoerotic tones
Jilali Benkadour. what the fuck is so erotic about this fucking movie???
I agree with you; and Tarzan's nudity in itself is erotic and, psychoanalytically speaking, it says a lot about Burrough's own sex-life; as Angelo's paintings say a lot about the artist's homosexuality, if you will.

You are right; it's f...! The movie makers f...it up!
