Three plot holes and stuff that's hard to believe...


If you liked this movie, you probably shouldn't read this...

Spoilers.

SPOILERS

Gee, a whole year, huh? You'd think that crappy crab diet and coconut juice would give you the runs for most of that time, but no. Where's the sunburn, cracked skin, hollowed out bone structure? Miz Brook's looking like she on a cruise when she gets rescued. Damn, getting shipwrecked on a deserted island must be good for you, she sure looks like a million bucks by the end.

WHere's her split ends and neglected hair? What's does she use to keep it so lovely and bouncy fresh! Coconut oil? That seawater would make sure her flowing locks never got into Vogue. Or maybe she uses the regular and plentiful rainfall to wash, wash, wash.

Where's Kelly's hairy legs? Where's her moustache? Where's her underarm hair? What does she use to keep her unladylike bodily hair under control? Palm leaves? Ouch, that must hurt! But the results are fantastic!

How does she stay, um, "fresh." Palm leaves? What every girl needs on these inconvient bruise detours. Fresh as a summer's day with Maxi-leaves!

Heck what does she use for birth control? Palm leaves? Yuck, sorry.

Come to that, I wish she'd used palm leaves to get her accent under control, it's a disaster. The trauma of looking so good for so long on a deserted island seems to make her revert to some weird English accent type thing she's got going on.

Billy recovers quick after floating around for three days! Swimming! Without food, or water! And the sharks are real friendly, too. They don't nibble you when you're floating lifeless in the water. I'll have to remember that.

Boy those cigars last a long time!

Boy that cigarette lighter lasts a long time! And it's waterproof! Right on! Go Zippo!

Billy's diet of crab and water sure helped him recover well so that he could drag that boat all that way!

Not the old rigged boat trick! How do you rig a boat to sink?! Surely that's the first thing you check when you've stolen a boat from a psycho? Anyway what did he use to "rig" it? It's either fixed, or it's not!

It's lucky they're all such good divers, and that the assistant barkeep's such a good survival expert. Didn't he say he'd done this before? With that kind of a record, you'd think he'd have trouble getting work on a boat...

It's a big island huh? Forest areas, beaches, reefy bits. When you see it at the beginning, it's about half a mile by 2/3 mile, yet psycho Billy can't hear or see the boat? And there's a big forest for an island so small. Or which SEEMED small.

Don't get me started on the snake! Hoe the $%^@ did that get there? Was it on the yacht too? Unless a colony of one survived when it rose up from the ocean or broke away from wharever, I'm almost certain the only snakes you get on deserted islands are sea snakes, not big old land snakes like that one. Maybe a passing stork dropped the egg, or something...

I'll bet there's more, too.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

They must've thought not wearing makeup at the end would be convincing enough.

I don't think they thought realism was as important as telling the story.

Rely on the male partners good will to not ejaculate inside her. I think one did when he raped her.

Someone was telling me how zippo lighters last a long time... didn't believe him.

Yep, weird how that is.

It wasn't the lighter fluid that was required, it was the simple flint, which they mentioned.

Come on, it's a cable sex cheesecake movie, of course they aren't going to have her with hairy legs. Although I think she was pretty covered up at the end, have to watch it again. And actually she did look rather sunburned and parched in the movie. Just doing the shoot must have been hard on her skin.

Fish diet is actually quite healthy for you, healthier than most Western diets. No need for them to be scrawny.

They made a point of showing Jack was spear-fishing, was underwater, impaired hearing.

There was a small bit of woods on the island. I don't think small fauna are out of the question.

I missed the cigar.

I thought the script was good, and I thought the movie was good. Particularly considering the genre.

Yeah!! I mean, this was like the worst Beach Documentary ever!!

Ohhhh wait, nope..this wasnt a documentary at all..IT WAS FICTION.

The phrase suspension of disbelief gets used for a reason people.

Entertainment wouldnt be the same without it.

Why dont you guys go watch something real enough for you like the Discovery

Channel, Im sure they wont disappoint.

The one thing that was really believable is how a person with absolutely no survivor skills like her was able to survive, in fact she was the first one to make it to the island, but with fun bags like those that can double as a flotation device it's totally believable. I mean with an awesome rack like that miss Brook will never ever have to worry about drowning.

~I'm super! Thanks for asking!~

Lets get this clear. Do we all want to see Ms Brook with unsightly hairy legs, underarm hair and a moustache? The answer is no. Do we want to see her with split ends and horribly dry unkempt hair? The answer again is no. Do we want to see her looking ill and under nourished because of the lack of food? The answer of course is no.
Therefore, why do you all go on about this inaccuracies and inconsistencies? We want to see eye candy, and any story is second or third to that.
So, stop going on about it. The film was watchable, and very sexy at times.
my only qualm was that we could have seen more skin, but I'm not complaining.

End of...

Do I want films I watch to have a semblence of reality in them?

Yes.

If you can't get credibility, what use is everything else? Call me stupid, but I wanted something a little more than a soft core Playboy shoot. If you want eye candy, off the top of my head, may I also recommend Dead or Alive, any undecent teen movie, or for even more skin, the top shelf of your local video depot.

reply

its a movie, duh!! I didn't watch it for reality. I watched it to see 2 hunks. I wish Billy Zane wasn't bald is all my complaint.

reply

I bet Billy does, too.

people say she suddenly had a hair clip, but that could have been washed up on the shore, some of these islands end up with plastic sand, so much plastic junk is tipped in the sea.

the lighter could have been conserved, they could have kept the fires going or restarted from embers if they got good.

birth control - they guy could have had a vasectomy

'boat rigged to fail' - yeah what a load of rubbish, you'd really be able to make some sort of clockwork timer to make it fail after 10 mins - in reality best attempts to mend that would be likely to fail

reply

Of course you want some reality in your movie, but to what degree and in what genre? I'm guessing those who sought this movie out weren't worrying about such minor plot inconsistencies when Kelly Brook is on screen beaming with such beautiful sexuality. If you want a serious look at survival on a tropical island go watch "Cast Away". Then again you'd probably find issues with that film too. Heck, you'd probably find issues with "Survivorman".

A cigarette lighter would last quite awhile. You have no idea how many times he had to strike it.
