About This Movie

So, 'Tarzan in Manhattan' is an interesting mash-up, you know? It’s got this wild premise where Tarzan, fresh out of the jungle, navigates the concrete jungle of New York City. The pacing is kind of offbeat, with moments of action interspersed with the quirks of urban life. Tarzan's relationship with Jane, who’s a cab driver and has her own backstory with her ex-cop dad, adds a nice touch of camaraderie. The practical effects are definitely a highlight, especially considering it’s a TV movie from the late '80s. You’ve got some fun performances here, and it’s refreshing to see Tarzan in such an unusual setting. It’s not your typical jungle adventure, which makes it stand out in the Tarzan filmography.
