Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring an interview, Milla Jovovich recalled filming the scene where she had to wake her 19-year-old co-star Brian Krause's character and get him out of bed after he experiences his first sexual dream. She said that to surprise her, they put a piece of wood in his pants to simulate an erection. She saw this and started cracking up so hard she forgot her line.
- GoofsRichard continually beats the shark swimming across the reef. A shark can swim from between 25-45 mph, whereas most Olympic swimmers can only swim about 5mph. He would stand no chance.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Lilli Hargrave: There's a baby growing inside me.
Richard Lestrange: How do you know?
Lilli Hargrave: [smiles] A woman knows these kinds of things, that's how.
Richard Lestrange: [excited] Lilli!
Lilli Hargrave: I won't let it be born in civilization. I want it to be born right here. Where there's no evil, and no lies, and no guns.
Richard Lestrange: You're right. We'll stay here. Just the three of us. I love you, Lilli.
[Lilli smiles happily and breezily at him]
- Alternate versionsBoth the American pan and scan DVD and the European widescreen DVD are reframed to cut out Lilli's breasts in the scene where she's looking at herself in the mirror. The older VHS releases showed her nipples at the very bottom of the screen.

i judge movies on how they make me feel deep down. this wasn't perfect but if you leave all your expectations at the door, you'd be surprised how much truth is there.
it lets you enjoy innocence. i think that's why i could even accept the fact that the performances weren't absolutely perfect. children aren't supposed to be perfect, but they do have one thing over most adults, a child of innocence will love unconditionally despite all the confusion that can be found in the world-even on an deserted island. i think the people who created this movie were able to capture that part of life and so i have to approve.
i watched The Blue Lagoon before this one and have to say, even though this one is less explicit, it's even more enjoyable. both are worth attention though.
however, neither should be viewed by young children; they were given their ratings for a reason.
