Wild Thing Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Kurt Jacobsen
Wild Thing is a terribly sensitive and compassionate chap, just the sort who might eventually repel Jane - if she turned out to be a textbook case of "women who love too much." Yeah, that would add suspense.
Cinapse
Ed Travis
Fans of Tarzan or Batman or simply 1980s cinema should definitely seek out Wild Thing as a harmless curiosity, if not essential viewing.
Washington Post
Mike Clark
Also involved are the local cops, exemplified by suspicious detective Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon).
New York Times
Walter Goodman
[Max] Reid's direction is nearly incoherent in places, a relief from the coherent passages. The acting generally suits the material.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There's a movie here, all right. The question is, where is it? And how did Wild Thing so decisively miss so many opportunities to do something with it?
