Tarzan's South Yarra Adventure

About This Movie

So, 'Tarzan's South Yarra Adventure' is this quirky little comedy that emerged from Ray Boseley's project at Swinburne. It has this playful, offbeat tone that captures the kind of whimsical Australian humor of the early '80s. The pacing is a bit erratic, but in a way that adds charm rather than detracts from the experience. There are some practical effects and low-budget setups that give it that indie feel, and the performances have a raw, unrefined quality that feels genuine. It's definitely not your typical Tarzan tale, more like a mash-up of adventure and comedy that might catch you off guard, but that’s what makes it a distinct entry in the genre.

'Tarzan's South Yarra Adventure' is a bit of a curiosity in the collector's realm, primarily because of its obscure origins and limited distribution. Most copies floating around are VHS tapes, making it a rare find for those interested in Aussie cinema or student films. Interest seems to be growing among niche collectors who appreciate the lo-fi charm and oddities of 1980s comedy, though it's still not widely known, so snagging a copy might feel like a small victory at a swap meet.
