I'm afraid I don't recognize the movie. Python? Ah, well, quote away!
While we're on the subject of Monkeys, Apes, Deer and Snakes, I'd note that the brutality was generally AGAINST the apes, not by the apes. Tarzan is a story about noble savages being exploited by a corrupt civilization, but Jane is the dainty, civilized sophisticate able to make her peace with and even love the noble savage that is in us all. As deeply sexist as the story is, Jane is still supposed to be a hero role.
But I think the judge was trying to come up with a little racist humor, he was just not quite quick enough to pull it off. Dumb and racist, in other words.
Now my question is this: why does that surprise anyone in an asylum hearing? Isn't our entire immigration system supposed to abuse and spit out those third worlders who have the nerve to share the same aspirations most of our grandparents had and come here to seek a better life? Isn't everyone in this system just supposed to be corrupt, racists biggots? I thought dumb and racist was what people wanted of the Immigration system?
