Fun Stuff

Goofs:

Factual errors: As with most movies and television shows, no one seems to have any conception of how heavy gold is. The treasure involves two chests, one small and one large. The actor varies the effort he uses to move the small chest. At one point he seems to act as if it were more than he could bear, but he is also seen trying to lift and carry the two stacked chests. Gold is 19.3 times heavier than water. That small chest filled with real gold would be too heavy for one man to carry, and a lone individual could not even drag the large chest filled with gold. more

Very different to the book!, 15 October 2005
3/10
Author: jp-222 from Australia

I was looking forward to watch this film when I knew the local TV station was going to air it because I liked the book. Then I was a bit confused when the 'mother and daughter' tagged along and Gideon and Herbert were nowhere to be seen. Then I couldn't stand it anymore when Pencroft and LeMay ( <--who is this?? ) encountered a giant grasshopper just as they arrived. I turned the TV off. The only similarities to the novel are the title, some of the characters, and the main plot. I do not recommend this film at all. And as I remember there were no 'treasures' or 'monsters' in the island? Lovers of the book would not be satisfied with this adaptation as it is just so different. And I also think that the quality of the acting is not as satisfactory as I would have expected it to be. The novel is turned into a fantasy adventure in this film with all the treasures and monsters ( and not to mention the corny opening. )
