That is a good question? I would think so, because it was shot in Malaysia. However as the Malay people are Muslims I would think they would have objected to the amount of nudity they were required to display. Does anyone know?

All Malays are not muslims, there is alot of buddhists in Malaysia also, and not all muslims are practising eighter.

So what were the natives? Malays or Filipinos?

The actor who plays Charlie is Malaysian, his name is Sheik Razak Shikur, the "actors" who plays the natives are probably Malaysian rain forest tribe people. Peoples religion have nothing to do with the making of this, for example, the director Ruggero Deodato is catholic(christian) and some of the actors are muslims, both Christianity and Islam says no to sex and nudity in movies, but you know, just cause someone is christian or muslim doesnt mean that they are hardcore believers.
