neutral · AI labelView post →Huh. I had assumed this detail of Tarzan's biography was invented for the 1984 film Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, in order to explain away Christopher Lambert's heavy accent. I guess it was just serendipity

positive · AI labelView post →In Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), Andie MacDowell made her film debut as Jane. Her dialogue was dubbed in post-production by Glenn Close.
neutral · AI labelView post →Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie! Omg. (Sometimes I get mistaken for you.) Is it true that when you were filming The Legend of Tarzan, Alexander Skarsgård’s chest was 98% computer effects?
neutral · AI labelView post →"Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes" was nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for P.H. Vazak. P.H. Vazak was the name of Robert Towne's dog. The dog "received" credit because Towne was unhappy with the film. And that, kids, is where my mind goes whenever I hear "D.R. Congo." GOAL!
neutral · AI labelView post →I wonder how many people know that Samuel L. Jackson's character in the 2016 "The Legend of Tarzan" movie, George Washington Williams, is a fictionalized version of a real person (who really exposed abuses in the Congo in 1890, with the Open Letter quoted at the end of the movie).

neutral · AI labelView post →I recently watched the Legend of Tarzan (2016 Skarsgård) and was constantly annoyed by the computerized fakery of the jungle creatures. Turns out the director was morally opposed to working with animals. In a Tarzan movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan (1984). Directed by Hugh Hudson, on the heels of Chariots of Fire. Starring Christopher Lambert and newcomer Andie MacDowell. This was MacDowell's very first film... but unfortunately, her voice was replaced with Glenn Close.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Lambert vehicle, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes? For 2/3 of the film, it’s the best book-to-film adaptation. If you could then splice in the beginning 1/3 of the Skaarsgard film and use it as the ending, you’d have a wonderful Tarzan flick.

neutral · AI labelView post →This makes me think of the movie Greystoke the Legend of Tarzan with Christopher Lambert. They got it right by making him fluent in French/English.
neutral · AI labelView post →@ironspike.bsky.social you posted abt Goodall & I wonder if you've ever treated yourself to the movie "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984)"? It's fiction, of course, & not about Goodall, but it has always reminded me of her and her work. And an excellent film, IMO. 🎥 🎬 🍿
neutral · AI labelView post →The Legend of Tarzan is an underrated movie. It starred Alexander Skarsgard, Margot Robbie, and Samuel L. Jackson, and it was a fun action flick that subverted the worst tropes of the original material.
positive · AI labelView post →71. The Legend Of Tarzan (2016) Brilliant Tarzan film, with a great cast and a gripping storyline. Lord Greystoke is happy in London but is tricked to go back to Africa. What follows is a greatest hits of Tarzan..Jane gets kidnapped, Tarzan fights animals, swims, yells swings etc 10/10 #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s like the first act of Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan stretched into a 2-hour film except much trippier and with more primate genitals.

positive · AI labelView post →Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan has significantly more nudity than I was expecting. No I will not explain why I decided to watch an '80s Tarzan movie with Christopher Lambert.
neutral · AI labelView post →@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I the that “family” quote is by Christoph Waltz from the movie The Legend of Tarzan. I don’t think it’s from the Legend of Greystoke.

neutral · AI labelView post →I love reading trivia on IMDb after I've seen a movie. The notes on The Northman and The Legend of Tarzan (both starring Alexander Skarsgard) are chock-full of notes on how he attained his amazing bigness of muscle in those roles. I have a hunch those notes were not submitted by female viewers. 1/2

Now here comes Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes at 2hr 27mins opening with an overture. This must be just to prestige fool Oscar voters. #filmsky

negative · AI labelView post →I’ll also say this and I’ll say this once. I rewatched “The Legend of Tarzan” from 2016 starring Margot Robbie and Alexander Skarsgard on the plane last night. That movie rules and we should have gotten sequels

neutral · AI labelView post →it is.. i might have to give that one a rewatch now u say 👍 checked out another movie like that just the other week. you ever watchd Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan - an interesting strange drama 😆 strangely reminded me of a Kubrick style idk ..
neutral · AI labelView post →In the film GREYSTOKE: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN, LORD OF THE APES (which is an insane move title), every single line spoken by Andie MacDowell was blatantly and badly overdubbed by Glenn Close. I don't know why I suddenly thought of this obscure piece of movie trivia (*cough* Tahar Rahim as Ezekiel)
neutral · AI labelView post →The true 'sequel' to "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan," 32 freakin' years later "The Legend of Tarzan" (2016) stars Alexander Skarsgårda as John Clayton (Tarzan), Margot Robbie as Jane and Samuel L. Jackson as Tarzan's American friend. The events take place a decade after Tarzan & Jane leave Africa for England with brief flashbacks to the ape man's origins. Christoph Waltz co-stars as the villain, Rom, who enslaves blacks in the Congo to mine the diamonds of Opar. Tarzan, Jane and Willliams…
positive · AI labelView post →This was the most underwhelming Tarzan movie that I have ever seen. A typical product of some Hollywood producer trying to make a "modern" take of Tarzan not really knowing or caring for the Tarzan that Edgar Rice Burroughs created. In particular it was the palest and most underwhelming Tarzan character yet. He never radiated the strength nor the intelligence that Edgar Rice Burroughs attributed to his character. He spent most of the movie going around with a bland look on his face. The story…
negative · AI labelView post →Yep, this is a different Tarzan, an updated one. Recently the Indian jungle boy, the live-action Mowgli film was made and so its time for Africa's. This is not a Disney film and that's one of the disappointments for the Tarzan fans. Because this film is for the grown-ups only. It is rated PG13, but still I don't think the children would enjoy it like they did for the recent 'The Jungle Book' film. So it is like a DC film, I mean, DC makes superhero films for the grown-ups, unlike Marvel's. The…
