Bloopers

• When Paddy slides down the waterfall shouting, his mouth is not moving.
• As Richard and Emmeline observe the crab coming out of the mouth of Paddy's dead body, you can see his nostrils flaring as he breathes.
• Richard comes out of the water with his hair dripping wet. A moment later his hair is very dry.
• Emmeline's hair changes length several times. Brooke Shields was wearing wigs throughout most of the film when she and Christopher Atkins are on the island.
• The rainy day gives way suddenly, and Richard and Emmeline are inside their hut where he is playing Pop Goes the Weasel over and over, which annoys her. She stabs him and he chases her outside. She is wearing a strapless dress, but when he catches her and pins her down on the sand, she is wearing a lacey jacket and the beach is very dry.
• When Richard goes fishing from the boat and his catch is attacked by sharks, tearing the line from his hands, a rope can clearly be seen dragging the first shark through the water.
• When Richard gloats about being such a great fisherman, a crew member's hand can clearly be seen pushing a fish toward a camera.
• After Paddy dies, and Richard and Emmeline pack up the dinghy, the handsome toy boat is prominently displayed on top of their belongings. Years later, when they return to their original hut, Richard is digging up through the rubble and finds what is left of the toy boat that he clearly took with him.
