The film followed the duo’s success on other thrillers, such as Solider, Humraaz, and Baadshah. Taarzan: The Wonder Car was directed by brothers Abbas and Mustan Burmawalla. Remembering the Hilarious Mishap of Taarzan Not only was the film panned by critics and failed at the box office–its bad press caused the car it was launching to be buried. No wonder it’s become known as one of India’s biggest flops. That’s exactly what the 2004 Hindi-language film Taarzan: The Wonder Car did. Unless you make it a romantic revenge thriller that borrows heavily from Stephen King’s Christine. What better way to generate hype than to introduce the vehicle as the headlining star of its own cinematic adventure? I want to give the film makers a bit of free advice.To successfully launch a new car, you need to garner a lot of attention and interest, especially if it’s a model that’s outside of most people’s price range. The tackiness is ridiculous! Better still, here is the so-called link, judge for yourself…Īnd just to finish off, it was announced on the 27 th October 2010 that the makers of the film are making a sequel. One example of this is when they had the car driving on 2 wheels you could see the supports holding the car up under the car. Suspect found!Īnd the cheap special effects are cringe worthy. So how do the cops link the car to the scene of the crime? The car tyre tracks match the ones found at the scene of the crime. Ok, for argument’s sake, let’s agree that there is a possessed car on the loose on a killing spree held bent on revenge. Need I say more?Īnother thing that bothered me was the logic used in the film. Obviously! And this car sets out to kill everyone involved with the ghost’s death. The car is possessed by the ghost of his dead father. Is this some kind of super high-tech car that this boy has made? Things like driving on 2 wheels, jumping in mid-air (like knight rider) or mending itself (like Christine). Turns out that the car can do all kind of stunts and tricks. He recognises the car by its air freshener K So he buys the scrap car and turns it into the car above, naming it Taarzan. You know, one of those “make it look like an accident” kind of jobs.Ībout 20 years or so later, the designer’s son, now grown up, finds this car in a scrap yard. Anyway, he deigns a car, and a group of people steal his design, and kill him in his car. A car designer has this one banger at his house which he calls Tarzan, because there’s a Tarzan air freshener in there. But because the film was soooooo successful, they didn’t bother putting it into production. The film was meant to be a big marketing platform. I’ll let you decide what’s so wonderful about it personally I think it’s just stupid:īy the way, this car was meant to go into production, and is actually called Tarzan. Here’s a picture of Taarzan: The Wonder Car. Who the hell calls their film Taarzan: The Wonder Car? And it’s not even a wonder car, as I shall explain later. I mean, were they just not trying? Out of all the possible names they could have chosen, they went with that. Now, this film is wrong and stupid on so many different levels! It’s difficult to decide where to begin. The name of the film? Well, brace yourselves. It was an Indian film (you gotta love em). I shall never forget it! And to be honest, before I even watched the film, I knew it would be, well, shit. I have only seen this film once when it came out. It was so brilliantly stupid that I decided to dedicate a blog entry just for it. I was browsing YouTube, and I discovered (or should I say rediscovered) a clip of an old film I watched.
