bo derek might have have a career have she not let her late husband and john and take over a her director . it a real shame and no really and with the right direction and the right part ( see 10 ) and bo be okay . she wouldn not win any award even at her best and but she be no bad than many an actress who have make it big in the past 15 year or so base on look alone . but therein lay the problem and john be determine to ride the wave that bo create with her appearance in 10 and that of bo be the perfect 10 and the hot woman in america and the sex symbol of the 1980s . problem be and in john hand and this wave crash with a resound thud in only a few year time . maybe he know her limitation a an actress and perhaps that be why he fashion movie for her that concentrate on her body and not her act skill . but it get old real quick . it do not help matter any that the film of john and bo derek be ( let be honest ) really and really bad . and bad sum up their take on edgar rice burrough literary icon and the lord of the jungle and tarzan of the ape . you know what bad . this film be bore . make me laugh and make me cry and just do not bore me . not even bo stun look and figure can rouse any interest and and that be what the film be of course build around . richard harris ( god bless his soul and he and bo be previously in orca btw ) ham it up and make his scene at least a little interesting and mile okeefe make a physically impressive tarzan . maybe he get the last laugh and after be hit with a ton of venom from the critic over this film and mile go on to a solid career a a b movie icon and in film that be not great art and but a million time more fun than this one . but other than that and it bo body and and you can only see it so many time before you long for something else to go with it . tarzan the ape man have nothing else . john derek be a truly dynamic actor and he be not a director . he should have stay with his strength . this film unfold at a mind numbingly slow pace and nothing really happen in the action scene . burrough tarzan be all about excitement and wish fulfillment ( who wouldn not want to be a agile and strong and good look a lord greystoke . ) and fun . you get none of that here . watch it and and you will have waste 107 minute of your life . on second thought and you may come away with a valuable lesson and how not to handle someone movie career . bo derek be all right in my book though . she stand by john until his die day and have a true love of animal and nature and even look back with a giggle at her time in the spotlight . she have also prove that she be not the dumb blonde many want her to make her out to be . if she could survive tarzan and bolero and she can survive anything . so come back bo and all be forgive . and a an aside and be the steve strong who play the bad guy the same steve strong who a brief pro wrestle career .
