Storyline

Taking a romantic tropical island week off with her boyfriend, an ambitious, decisive New York girl agrees to help her magazine out by covering a story on a neighboring island. The only plane available is piloted by a laid-back heavy drinker with whom she shares a mutual dislike. But she has no choice and he can't refuse the money. When the plane crash-lands on an uninhabited island with little chance of rescue they both wish they had made other arrangements - at least to start with.

Goofs

When the pirates' gunboat is attacking the plane, it is initially shown moving towards the beach at some speed. When the plane takes off, however, the boat is seen to be perfectly still with no visible wake near it.

Quotes

Frank Martin: [Despairing because Robin is missing] God I loved her... *love*... her.
Angelica: Not to insult you, but I don't think guys know what love is.
Frank Martin: I do!
Angelica: Yeah? Guys are always telling me that they love me.
Frank Martin: Well, I'm sure at least some of them mean it.
Angelica: [Chuckles scoffingly] No they don't.

Crazy Credits

The DVD has the credits listed in French; after you go to the first second of chapter 3, and then go back, the credits are suddenly in English.

---

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."
