Tarzan Rocco | Repack

There is a scene involving a stuffed elephant prop that must be seen to be believed. Tarzan "fights" it. It does not move. Rocco attacks it with the same ferocity he brings to everything else. It is the most surreal 90 seconds of cinema I have ever witnessed.

★★☆☆☆ (2/5 stars) One star for Rosa’s genuine effort. One star for Rocco’s absolute, unhinged commitment to the bit. Negative three stars for the elephant prop, but those somehow loop back around into a positive viewing experience if you have the right group of friends and enough snacks. tarzan rocco

The film loosely (very loosely) follows Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic. Rocco plays Tarzan, raised by apes in the jungle. Enter Jane (played by Rocco’s real-life wife, Rosa Caracciolo), a prim and proper Englishwoman who gets lost during an expedition. One look at Rocco’s chiseled, loincloth-clad physique, and civilization goes out the window. The film attempts to hit the same beats as the Disney renaissance era (this came out during the 90s Tarzan craze), but instead of Phil Collins songs, you get… well, Rocco’s signature grunts.
