Trivia
In an interview with Sex & Guts Magazine, Richard Stanley said, "When I left the production, I shredded every document I had. But the mushroom trip wasn't true. I wish it was. I've heard stories over time that I'd freaked out, that I shouted at so and so, that I punched so and so. But point of fact, what I did at the time was staying in the same chair for about two days, while continously smoking and taking telephone calls. During that time, over that 48 hour period, I shredded every single goddamn document from the last two years. I made certain at that point in time, that there were no telephone numbers, there were no timetables, no rainfall charts, anything that they had figured out about the location, so that they would have to figure it out from scratch. It wasn't really sabotage, it was to leave as little trace behind of my cooperation as possible. A stalling tactic, in a way. Have them to suss out the whole thing from scratch." See more »Goofs

David Thewlis is very good as air-crash survivor who is taken to mysterious island in the South Pacific where recluse Marlon Brando mutates various animals with human genes; Fairuza Balk is Brando's daughter, Val Kilmer (in arguably his weakest performance ever) plays Brando's assistant. Uncontrolled version of H.G. Wells' horror story is crippled by behind-the-scenes strife and ego clashes. It opens well, sustains itself for about forty-five minutes, but then goes completely to hell afterward. John Frankenheimer is credited with the scrappy direction, though he stepped in mid-production and finished the picture after Kilmer had the original director canned. Too bad, with more focus this could've been incredible. Story previously filmed in 1933 (as "Island of Lost Souls") and with Michael York and Burt Lancaster in 1977. ** from ****
