    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While viewing this movie, John Gibbons, a herpetologist at the University of the South Pacific, realized that the iguanas that appeared in the film were a distinct species that had never before been seen or documented by experts in the field. Afterward, he visited Nanuya Levu, the Fiji island where the movie was made, and named the species the Fiji Crested Iguana.
    • Goofs
      After Paddy dies, and the children pack up the dinghy, the handmade toy boat is prominently displayed on top of their belongings. Years later, when they return to the original hut, Richard is digging through the rubble and finds what is left of the toy boat that he clearly took with him.
    • Quotes

      Emmeline Lestrange: You're such a silly dodo, Richard! We're never getting off this island.

      Richard Lestrange: Thanks to you!

      Emmeline Lestrange: This is where we live, Richard. This is our home, now and forever.

      Richard Lestrange: No! I could never live here with JUST you! I don't even like you! You never used to laugh at me! You never used to have secrets you wouldn't tell me!

      Emmeline Lestrange: Well, you're not so perfect either, Mr. Richard Lestrange. I've seen you playing with it, and I'll tell your father, IF he ever gets here.

      Richard Lestrange: YOU? I hate you!

      [throws a rock at her, narrowly missing her]

      Emmeline Lestrange: You almost hit me!

      Richard Lestrange: Take it back! Take back what you said!

      Emmeline Lestrange: I've seen it all! What happens after you've been doing it a long time?

      Richard Lestrange: Shut up! That's not fair peeking! I don't peek on you!

      Emmeline Lestrange: That's a lie! You're always staring at my buppies.

      Richard Lestrange: Only 'cause they look so funny! You know what you look like now, Em? You look like one of those pictures Paddy had in his drawer. One of his Hoochie Coochie girls!

    • Alternate versions
      The version aired on TBS cuts out the shot of Paddy's nude photographs, the blood spurting onto the native after the execution, as well as all nude scenes.

    simply wonderful
    This movie is simple, it captures what life is really about. Without the many special effects that is used in movies now and even in the past it is a absolutely wonderful movie.

    A young romance blossoming between two kids who have known nobody else but themselves. They discover everything in life without all the interference of the rest of the world.

    The low rating on this movie is unjust, it deserves a lot more then it is given, this is possibly one of the best movies I have ever seen.

    It is absolutely wonderful for a romantic night just you and the television. And the nudity? it was exciting when I was younger, it becomes a bit too much as I am getting older, but it does not bother me. It fits the movie, the pure soul of the movie.
