George of the Jungle | comment |
George of the Jungle is a 1997 comedy film based on the Tarzan parody cartoon series of the same name, directed by Sam Weisman and starring Brendan Fraser as George, Leslie Mann as Ursula and John Cleese as the voice of Ape.We learn in the Animated Credits Opening that George (Fraser) survived a plane crash in the heart of Africa, but was sadly unfound by the survivors and rescue crew. Here, he grows into a man who rules the jungle. An heiress named Ursula Stanhope (Mann) explores the area with her snooty fiance, Lyle (Thomas Haden Church), who abandons her when a lion attacks them. George swoops in to save Ursula, and takes care of her while Lyle and a couple of poachers (in search of the mythical "White Ape", which is George) try to find her. George and Ursula eventually fall in love with each other, and they go back to San Francisco for the requisite Fish out of Water plot. George and Ursula have to deal with the treacherous Lyle and Ursula's disapproving, meddling mother Beatrice (Holland Taylor) in order to stay together and live happily ever after.The film is completely light-hearted, with a narrator who delights in the fact there's No Fourth Wall and lampshades just about everything. In 2003 it got a Direct to Video sequel, which had Christopher Showerman as George and Julie Benz as Ursula. ("Me new George. Studio too cheap to pay Brendan Fraser.") | |

This Is My Boomstick | |
George of the Jungle / int_125eb76c | comment |
This Is My Boomstick: Parodied. Lyle Van de Groot, rich snob white guy, attempts to impress his native guides by offering them lighters and showing off his camera... even though his guides are clearly familiar with such things. The guides play along for a bit, and then burst out laughing at him, whereupon their translator makes it clear they're not only unimpressed, they know more about cameras than he does. Going the other direction, Lyle later attempts to scare George off with a lighter shaped like a handgun. George, having never seen any kind of gun before, keeps charging. Then it turns out the gun is real.note Just several minutes before that, during the elephant dung incident, one of the guides actually tossed Lyle the real gun and he was about to light up his cigar with it, unaware that the "lighter" is his actual gun. The I Just Shot Marvin in the Face trope, however, quickly became averted when the group heard Ursula laughing in the distance, signifying that they just stumbled near George's treehouse. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
George of the Jungle / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In the animated opening, a native (wearing an wildebeest mask) is suddenly the object of affection by a male wildebeest. The native's spear suddenly becomes limp... Ursula's mother's attitude towards George is more than a little reminiscent of parents who oppose their children dating outside their race. The fact that she disdainfully calls George an ape just adds to it. She even uses a "stripes and spots" analogy later on. | |

George of the Jungle / int_16e362fb | comment |
Bilingual Backfire: The lead guide makes it very clear that the other guides only speak Swahili and acts as a translator for them, and Lyle spends a great deal of time badmouthing the guides and treating them like primitives. Meanwhile, the guides say mean things about Lyle, leading to a few Tactful Translations. When the poachers offer the guides money to help them hunt the white ape, the guides respond to them in English with a demand for more money, revealing that they could speak and understand English just fine - they were just messing with the stupid tourists. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
George of the Jungle / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: Probably playing into the generally cartoonish theme of the film, there's an orangutan (native to Indonesia and Malaysia), a toucan (Central and South America), a group of capuchin monkeys (Central and South America), a clearly Indian elephant (understandable, as true African elephants are much harder to train, as well as dangerously bad-tempered) and a lion (lions live in grasslands and plains rather than jungles) hanging around in the heart of the African jungle. The sequel also includes a kangaroo (native to Australia) and a tiger (Asia). | |

Watch Out for That Tree! | |
George of the Jungle / int_1ec7ea4a | comment |
Watch Out for That Tree!: Of course. Every swing George takes ends with him crashing into something. The Animated Credits Opening itself features baby George as well as many jungle animals doing vine swinging and repeatedly smashing into trees. It's hinted that this happens mostly because George doesn't know any other way to stop himself mid-swing. The climax begins with George grabbing a vine tossed to him by Tooki in order to save Ursula. The resulting (inevitable) crash leaves an Impact Silhouette on the opposite side of the tree. George isn't the only one to run afoul of this trope. When Ursula arrives at the treehouse during the climax she does so by swinging in on a vine, knocking over one of the bad guys... and then crashing into a tree. | |

Mythology Gag: George initially refers to Ursula as "Fella," just as he would do in the original cartoon. Though here, he learns to address her properly. In the sequel, George Jr. is seen reading a Tarzan book (specifically the Disney version). The sequel also shouts out the Disney Tarzan film by having George "vine surf" at the end (or rather surfing on tree branches) as Tarzan did in that film. | |

George of the Jungle / int_308a5ff0 | comment |
Strange Minds Think Alike: In an early scene, Lyle's decision to cross a dilapidated bridge causes some of his expedition guides to get really bad boo-boos. In the next scene, he's shown to be wary of them and specifically states that they "Must think [he's] the world's biggest jerk" and that they're probably planning to do something evil to him. Camera pans to them speaking in Swahili, and the subtitles reveal they say nearly the exact same thing. On the other paw, it is later revealed that the guides speak and understand fluent English; they understood him saying that, and probably said it to mock him. | |

No Fourth Wall: The narrator gleefully lampshades every plot point and convention, George has a lot of asides to the viewer, and one of the villains in the first movie even take the time to berate the narrator for giving them such a hard time. Taken up to eleven in the second film, where the narrator completely gets rid of Lyle by physically reaching in and plucking him out of the movie! | |

Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon | |
George of the Jungle / int_3cb68bd3 | comment |
Ursula's mother Beatrice isn't so nice, either. She is completely insistent that Ursula marry Lyle, even when Ursula adamantly refuses, and even after Ursula lays out everything Lyle did (see above). Ursula's mother even tells George that Ursula couldn't really love him and that they're from two different worlds, and that he should just go home, or else she'll remove his reason for wearing a loincloth. Although her schemes ultimately fail, she ends up as a Karma Houdini in the first movie. The second movie has her continue to try to pair Ursula up with Lyle, even though, by this time, Ursula's already married to George—and has a son!! She finally gets her comeuppance this time, though. | |

George of the Jungle / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Seemingly played straight at the end of the first movie - Beatrice is seen dancing with Ape at Ursula and George's wedding, giving the impression that she's no longer opposed to them as a couple - only to be subverted by the time the sequel rolls around - Beatrice plots with Lyle to break up their marriage and have Ursula wed Lyle. | |

Fake Danger Gambit: A little capuchin monkey complains to George that the other monkeys bully him because he's a runt. In the next scene, the monkeys are attacked by a large lion; Little Monkey steps forward, pounds his chest and yells at the lion, fending it off and earning the other monkeys' respect. The lion, hiding in the bushes, winks at George, implying that it was him arranging the whole scene. | |

Never My Fault | |
George of the Jungle / int_973d220f | comment |
It's rather unsurprising that Ursula eventually decides that she doesn't want to marry Lyle anymore. First he gatecrashes Ursula's trek through Africa and tries to drag her back home, even when it's clear that she's enjoying herself there and doesn't want to leave. Then he nearly kills one of the group's porters, and has the nerve to blame the porter's "inexperience" for it. Then he treats the porters as if they barely understand the modern world (referring to a lighter and camera as "magic fire" and a "magic picture", respectively). Then he drags Ursula into the jungle so that they can find a white ape and therefore leave, gets both of them lost, and ditches Ursula when they encounter a lion. And the next time he sees her, he claims that he was fighting the lion the whole time, and that she's just too scared to remember this. And this is just the first act. Heck, even Lyle pretty much hit the nail on his own head when he thinks the guides are saying that he's the biggest jerk they've ever seen in their lives. Which to be precise, he really is. | |

Foreshadowing | |
George of the Jungle / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In an early scene, Lyle worries aloud that the guides think he's the biggest jerk they've ever seen in their lives and are thinking of something evil to do to him — and the guides say to each other (in Swahili) that Lyle's the biggest jerk they've ever seen in their lives and plan to do something evil to him. It seems like a simple comedy gag — which foreshadows The Reveal that they can speak English just fine. | |

This Is Gonna Suck | |
George of the Jungle / int_9dfb8296 | comment |
This Is Gonna Suck: "This biggest swing in jungle history. Will hurt very much... But George have to do it." Whimper. The swing is so long that he builds up enough velocity to actually knock a George-shaped section of bark off the other side of the tree. Ow. Right before impact, he says "This gonna hurt." | |

George of the Jungle / int_a1d70162 | comment |
Going the other direction, Lyle later attempts to scare George off with a lighter shaped like a handgun. George, having never seen any kind of gun before, keeps charging. Then it turns out the gun is real.note Just several minutes before that, during the elephant dung incident, one of the guides actually tossed Lyle the real gun and he was about to light up his cigar with it, unaware that the "lighter" is his actual gun. The I Just Shot Marvin in the Face trope, however, quickly became averted when the group heard Ursula laughing in the distance, signifying that they just stumbled near George's treehouse. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Ape named Ape. It helps tremendously that he's voiced by John Cleese, and steals the show numerous times. Like everything else in the movie it's also lampshaded, sometimes by Ape himself! Ursula's father spends most of the movie as the quiet, sensible parent who supports his daughter's life choices. Near the end of the film, he shows he's finally losing patience with his wife. | |

Accidental Misnaming: As another point of Lyle being the ignorant sort, he can never pronounce the lead guide Kwame's name. It's pronounced "kwa-mi" or "kwa-may", same as Captain Planet's Kwame, but the whole time, Lyle pronounces it as "kweym". Kwame never bothers to correct him, though, since it's likely not worth the effort. | |

Shout-Out | |
George of the Jungle / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: George's appearance is inspired by Christopher Lambert in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. In a reference to Funny Girl, Ursula is seen riding a tugboat as the score riffs on "Don't Rain on My Parade." The first film ends with George and Ursula displaying George Jr. atop Pride Rock from The Lion King (1994). In the sequel, Betsy and two other of Ursula's friends engage in a brief spoof of Charlie's Angels. Also in the sequel, Ape latches on to the top of a pointed building in Vegas, Ã la King Kong. The local news shows this on the TV, and Beatrice convinces a hypnotized Ursula that it really is King Kong, only colorized. Lampshaded of course: In the sequel, George Jr. at one point is seen reading a Disney Tarzan book. | |

Stimulant Speedtalk | |
George of the Jungle / int_c919e48d | comment |
Stimulant Speedtalk: George is left at Ursula's apartment and watches a TV advertisement for "coffee that brings you together... when you're in love". Taking this as instruction to make himself attractive to Ursula, George chomps down half a can of coffee grounds from the pantry and promptly starts bouncing off the walls from the caffeine. The gag ends with George staring at the camera going "Javajavajavajavajavajavajavajavajava..." | |

My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: Lyle uses a phrasebook to attempt to communicate with his native porters in the African jungle. The subtitles supply, "Pardon me, girls.

George of the Jungle / int_cfe31421 | comment |
Primal Chest-Pound: Ape thumps his chest when he pretends to be an unintelligent animal in front of Ursula. George pounds his chest as part of an awkward courting display toward Ursula (he got dating advice from Ape, who only knows gorilla-style courting). A capuchin monkey named Little Monkey, upon George's advice, pounds his chest and yells at a lion, successfully scaring it away. Except the lion was in on it the whole time, as the whole scene was staged to make Little Monkey more popular among his fellow monkeys. | |

Police Lineup: Parodied when Lyle takes part in a lineup. In normal police lineups, the people hired are meant to have similar physical features to the convicted/accused. Lyle ended up standing next to jungle natives who aren't even the same skin colour as he was and are of different shapes and sizes. He's also hiding his face behind someone else. Of course, he fools nobody. | |

Flanderization: The sequel takes certain aspects of the characters and dials them up to eleven: George made a lot dumber. Beatrice's villainy is amped up. In the first film, she doesn't approve of Ursula and George's relationship, but seems to relent. In the sequel, she stops at nothing to break them up. Betsy - in the first film, she jokes once about hooking up with George. In the sequel, she willingly ignores her best friend getting knocked out in hopes of finding out if George has a brother, then later, forces herself on him to help break her hypnosis. | |

Jerkass | |
George of the Jungle / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: It's rather unsurprising that Ursula eventually decides that she doesn't want to marry Lyle anymore. First he gatecrashes Ursula's trek through Africa and tries to drag her back home, even when it's clear that she's enjoying herself there and doesn't want to leave. Then he nearly kills one of the group's porters, and has the nerve to blame the porter's "inexperience" for it. Then he treats the porters as if they barely understand the modern world (referring to a lighter and camera as "magic fire" and a "magic picture", respectively). Then he drags Ursula into the jungle so that they can find a white ape and therefore leave, gets both of them lost, and ditches Ursula when they encounter a lion. And the next time he sees her, he claims that he was fighting the lion the whole time, and that she's just too scared to remember this. And this is just the first act. Heck, even Lyle pretty much hit the nail on his own head when he thinks the guides are saying that he's the biggest jerk they've ever seen in their lives. Which to be precise, he really is. Ursula's mother Beatrice isn't so nice, either. She is completely insistent that Ursula marry Lyle, even when Ursula adamantly refuses, and even after Ursula lays out everything Lyle did (see above). Ursula's mother even tells George that Ursula couldn't really love him and that they're from two different worlds, and that he should just go home, or else she'll remove his reason for wearing a loincloth. Although her schemes ultimately fail, she ends up as a Karma Houdini in the first movie. The second movie has her continue to try to pair Ursula up with Lyle, even though, by this time, Ursula's already married to George—and has a son!! She finally gets her comeuppance this time, though. | |

Reverse Psychology | |
George of the Jungle / int_f7588306 | comment |
Reverse Psychology: While trying to make their way back to civilization after kidnapping Ape, Max becomes suspicious that the "shortcut" that they took is actually a decoy trail. Ape cheerily admits as much, to Thor's aggravation, but this convinces Max that Ape is just trying to trick them off the shortcut and slow them down even more. Much to the two poachers' dismay, they find that Ape was in fact being completely honest when, after days of hiking, they find themselves right back where they started. | |

That's Gotta Hurt: A couple of examples in reaction to George's crashing into something, or in some cases, in anticipation of the inevitable ensuing crash. | |

Shoo Out the Clowns | |
George of the Jungle / int_f97b5d33 | comment |
Shoo Out the Clowns: In the sequel, Ursula (though not a comic relief character) is put to sleep just before to the big fight at the end, waking up just as it ends. This is odd, considering she actually contributed to the fight at the end of the first movie. | |

The climax begins with George grabbing a vine tossed to him by Tooki in order to save Ursula. The resulting (inevitable) crash leaves an Impact Silhouette on the opposite side of the tree. | |

Disposable Fiancé: Lyle is a huge jerkass and Ursula clearly wants to get away from him in their first scene. She very quickly forgets about him after meeting George and isn't happy when Lyle turns up again - granted, anyone would be sour after being abandoned with a lion. | |

Fun with Subtitles | |
George of the Jungle / int_fdb355db | comment |
Fun with Subtitles: When George is speaking "gorilla" to his ape friends. George sounds incredibly stupid in English, but apparently he speaks Gorilla like a Shakespearean scholar, complete with an ornamental calligraphy-style font for the subtitles.note A joke that unfortunately doesn't carry over to the Disney+ release, where all the hardcoded subtitles were removed due to needing them available in multiple languages. Near the climax of the film everything Lyle's henchmen (Gunnar, Gunter, Hans, Jan, and Phil) say is subtitled, even though they're speaking perfect English. Lyle trying to speak Swahili and failing miserably. See My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels, below. | |

Brick Joke | |
George of the Jungle / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Near the beginning of the Animated Credits Opening, a native in Africa puts on a wildebeest mask, attracting the attention of an actual wildebeest. Later, when the jungle's animals are swinging around on vines, you can see the wildebeest swing by, holding onto that native. Early in the first film, Ape complains offhand that he needs his medical textbooks, unless "[Ursula] wants to die of Dengue Fever." Later, when she returns to San Fransisco, the first thing her mother asks her is if she caught it. | |
