Trivia
The plane that Quinn flies is a DeHavilland Beaver. Star Harrison Ford is a licensed pilot and owns a DeHaviland Beaver but he also flew the one in the movie. He had to go through several certifications for the insurance company to allow him not only to fly, but to also fly with the rest of the cast in the plane.

Goofs
Robin is wearing a long white dress when they crash. She changes into floral shorts and a tank shirt when she and Quinn go looking for fresh water. After he gets the snake out of her pants in the water, they cut to next scene where they are back to the beach where the plane is. Robin is looking for fresh clothes in her suitcase and the shorts and tank shirt she was just wearing (which had gotten dirty and wet) are in her suitcase folded and clean, and Robin is changing out of the white dress she had already changed out of.

Quotes
Robin: I've flown with you twice and you've crashed half the time.

Alternate versions
After 9/11/01, the USA network edited the dialogue poorly so that when Anne Heche originally said, "I've flown with you twice, you've crashed half the time," she now says, "I've flown with you twice, you've FLOWN half the time."

I find myself torn after watching this one. The story is interesting enough, with a newly engaged couple going on a tropical vacation only for Heche's career to beckon and draw her away, leading her to Ford and the both of them to wind up stranded on an island.

On the one hand, I actually think the performances of our main cast are all solid. Ancillary characters are all pretty flat but Ford, Heche, Schwimmer (even though he's still pretty heavily Ross) and Obradors are all compelling in their own way, but it's absolutely Ford and Heche's movie and it shows. Both characters felt compelling and well written, especially for the time.

On the other hand, the plot felt forced so many times. Suddenly, pirates! Oh, and is he going to cheat, will he be true? Sure seems like he should go one way and doesn't. Oh and there has to be a forced, life altering romance, right? Who cares if the actors are near 30 years apart and it shows!

In the end, I give a bit more credit to the acting and would say this is worth watching, just be prepared to roll your eyes at some of the contrivances. It wouldn't be my first choice to watch again, but it'sa solid enough movie and worth checking out if you can catch it streaming.
