Well-executed, hyperviolent, often hilarious satire of 80s culture that touches on tropes later owned by American Psycho. Even if it is dated, it's still loads of fun.

The tense climax put it over the top for me. Really inventive action and tension, based almost entirely around long takes, just barely makes up for characters that, despite strong performances, are hampered by an incredibly dumb screenplay that relies on a pretty weak idiot plot.

This film is actually excellent. I hadn't seen it since childhood, and now I remember why I liked it. It wasn't the jokes--they were childish and fairly inane and I recognized that back then as well. It was the plot, the characters, and the music. The drama of this story is alternately light and dark but always has a strong sense of character and narrative drive--Tarzan is actually a BRILLIANT drama, with some catchy songs. Also President Grant from Scandal is Tarzan. He would be Tarzan.
