casper van dien join a long list of actor or athlete to essay the part of edgar rice burroughs famous man of the jungle . as far a look go he certainly fit the role and loincloth and all . tarzan be a eternal on the screen in his history a sherlock holmes . both of them if you remember be bring up to date during world war ii to aid the allied effort . and tarzan have several modern adventure through his many film and television role right up through the ninety . but on the cusp of a new millennium the ape man be return to the period in time where edgar rice burroughs set him in and clearly in british colonial africa . tarzan in fact have return home to claim the title of the earl of greystoke and he go to marry jane march a jane porter . but van dien get one of those instinctive feeling and the kind that chuck norris get when his cherokee people be in trouble on walker and texas ranger . he postpone the wedding to an exasperate jane and head to africa . some of his native friend be indeed in trouble . a scientist who hire a bunch of what would be call trailer park trash now be on the verge of discover a lose city with untold wealth . it will make thing bad than ever for the native under colonialism if this archaeological holy grail be discover . casper try to reason with the scientist and then take the more tarzan like approach to the problem . but thing do get real complicate when jane follow him to africa . tarzan and the lost city be an old style adventure story with the benefit of 90 computer graphic . it also politically sensitive and not portray the native a they be in those old tarzan film from the studio day . and of course it film entirely in africa and certainly not do by mgm or rko back in the day . in the jungle casper great to look at and a wonder to behold . but why do he try to adopt that english accent . he sound silly when he use it . you notice johnny weissmuller never even attempt one . of course they do keep his dialog to a minimum . despite the accent and this late big screen tarzan be a good film and casper van dien be a worthy successor to johnny weissmuller and lex barker and gordon scott and etc .
