i can only think of one thing more incomprehensible than make a movie from a bad script and that be for a filmmaker to base his idea for a movie on another movie that be terrible . normally director try to rip off good movie and like the guy who direct the italian connection base on the the french connection ( good thinking because sometimes american confuse the french and the italian ) and or the other fellow who direct the porno american booty base on sam mendes american beauty . and if all else fails and do a sequel like jaw ii base on the good jaw or exorcist ii base on the great exorcist . i could go on and except i will be go off track and forget to tell you about the time when they decide to make the terrible return of the blue lagoon base on the terrible blue lagoon which must have have the maker of sequel and rip offs scratch their head . the problem with return to the blue lagoon be the same a the last film . it be not about anything . it seem that the filmmaker felt and in spite of the bad critical reception of the first blue lagoon and that an exotic island and two teenager discover sex and then fornicating ( though we see none of that ) be enough to create an entertaining film . of course and the filmmaker do a little tweaking for this film . there be the sad background story which explain how the two kid get stick on the island and like the last two kid . who say that carl orff carmina burana do not have any influence over film making . there be also an egg competition and an encounter with a native and a seductive english girl from the outside and a lascivious sailor . but other than that and lilli ( milla jovovich ) and richard ( brian krause ) go through the same motion a brooke shield and christopher atkins a though they be destine to live the exact same live a the previous couple on the island . what return to the blue lagoon really be and if you think about it and be an unsexy pornographic movie for kid while a stage for kid to go through before they see the softcore and hardcore porn film . but even base on that sordid criterion and return to the blue lagoon fails because even the sleazy and worst act porno at least do something to your libido . return to the blue lagoon do nothing because it have all the bad acting you would expect from a porno without any of any of the great sex ( not least because the actor be underage ) . so if you be interested in a movie where a couple have lot of great sex on a deserted tropical island and watch lina wertmueller sweep away by a mysterious destiny in the blue sea of august instead . it have gorgeous picture of a tropical paradise and far good acting and and you would not feel dirty and guilty by the end of the film because the actor and giancarlo giannini and mariangela melato and be both in their thirty ( though they look like in the their twenty ) at the time of filming .
