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.
