Hope's the buffoon, and for most of the film the black people around him are not targets as much as witnesses to his embarrassment.

'Bobby Kennedy? Teddy Kennedy? Jackie Kennedy? Caroline? Boy, these guys must be Republicans!'The attitude toward native Africans in this movie is not that bad. 'You know, President Kennedy?' No reaction. 'I'm here on a mission for the President of the United States,' he tells a hostile-looking group of tribesmen. Only someone forgot the jokes.Hope just moseys through the film, his timing solid but firing blanks. No, you're supposed to enjoy this film as a vehicle for jokes. Hope's not making 'Out Of Africa,' and the fact that the Frank Buck era of the Great White Explorer in Africa kind of ended by World War II is a minor nuisance, as is the fact its unlikely NASA couldn't find its own capsule with all the high-tech stuff they had even back then. and the Soviets figure Merriweather's the only man to find it.The story is flimsy on many levels, but that's really not what's wrong here. Only everyone thinks he's on the level, which is a problem when a capsule crashes down in Africa and both the U.S. The lack of similar scripts in the 1960s didn't stop Bob from working, however, and the results were films like 'Call Me Bwana' that diminished his legacy in a small but annoying way.As the politically incorrect title suggests, this is a safari-themed picture, with Bob playing Matthew Merriweather, a writer who palms off his uncle's memoirs of African adventure as his own while loafing around his Manhattan bachelor pad in a leopard-print bathrobe. Read Moreįor years Bob Hope was one of cinema's most engaging presences, as classic comedies like 'My Favorite Brunette/Blonde' and 'The Princess And The Pirate' make clear even today. On the other hand, just as I can enjoy and appreciate comedies made decades before even my generation, people whose experience is only of today might broaden their horizons and get a kick out this when they simply want to personally relax and have a little fun. I 'get' the jokes in the film that were aimed at then-current events and people. I was six when it came out, and I still remember what was going on in that era. It succeeds for what was intended, but it's very much a movie of its time. I've seen this three or four times over the years, and I've always looked forward to seeing it again.I doubt, though, that people born after the 1960s would think much of it. Even the Africans were funny, but not in a demeaning way. Everyone comes off as a buffoon, the Americans, the Russians, the CIA, the KGB. The plot was silly, but it wasn't boring. I thought Hope was funny enough, and I liked the supporting players, all memorable to me. (I use movies as a springboard to the imagination anyway). I just want to say that I had fun watching this film, and that's really all the justification I need.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm not going to argue with the other reviewers. A fight breaks out, and the coalition is easily defeated and driven back to Leopon Plains.If you read the other reviews here, you'll be told about how bad this movie is. Bwana challenges that he isn't scared of Kion's Roar, but Mhina warns him that he should be. However, they instead encounter Kion, Fuli, and Mhina, and begin to argue. Upon noticing Fisi's Clan is plotting to get to Busara as well, Bwana asks if they'll save the antelope before the Guard, and Duma insists they will. Legends of the Lion Guard: Protectors of the Pride Lands Team Playīwana and the rest of the coalition are informed by Duma that the Lion Guard is searching for Busara in Embamba Canyon. He was raised solely by his brother, Duma. He doesn't remember his parents much, since his father left after he was born, and his mother died just a few months after. He is also immature.īwana is the younger brother of Duma. Because he was raised by Duma, he has a very strong bond with his brother. He knew when it was time to relax and when it was time to keep his guard up.
His nose is a dark brown with a tawny brown bridge.īwana is playful and carefree. His muzzle, paws, and underbelly are a pale creamy yellow color, as is the fur encircling his eyes.
