But overall the movie is dull and slow-moving. Also there are some very gratuitous shots of her and Tarzan and the Orangutan cavorting on sand or dirt as the credits roll. The most attractive scenes are near the end when she is held captive by dangerous natives and a group of young natives are painting her body white all over. It is interesting however just to take a glimpse of this lady when she was in her 20s. This is a famously bad movie, designed apparently just to showcase Bo Derek's external beauty, because as an actress she offers very, very little. Yes, Bo Derek was (and probably is still) a beautiful woman to look at, but in this day of beautiful young women to me she comes across as more ordinary in a present day viewing of the movie. This is a very thin boring weakly-written soft-core porn version of Tarzan. The lion actually made a charge at the lead actors which is probably the movie's biggest shocking moment. There are some select animals from the local zoo. Richard Harris has his presence but he can't save this. She is a great prop, but she can't shoulder a whole movie herself. The problem is that this depends on her to do some actual dramatic acting. Bo Derek is a voluptuous sex statue but she's a bad actress. It is so bad that there is no tension anywhere. There is limited action in most of the movie and it is almost always done poorly.

Eventually, everybody is captured by native savages and Tazan comes to the rescue. Later, she is taken by him from the caravan. Jane encounters Tarzan and the Lion on the beach.

Harry Holt is his assistant and 'Africa' is his native girlfriend. He had left her mother when she was young. Jane Parker (Bo Derek) travels to Africa to join his estranged father James Parker (Richard Harris) and his expedition.
