Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA few weeks before filming started, Balthazar Getty fell out of a tree and broke both his wrists on his arms. The director decided to write his injuries into the script and put the character Ralph's arm in a sling for half of the film. Reportedly, the then-young actor was in pain throughout the shoot.
- GoofsPiggy is short-sighted (nearsighted), so his glasses cannot be used as a magnifying glass to light a bonfire. Lenses for nearsightedness scatter the sun's rays. The same error is in the original novel.
- Quotes
Ralph: Okay, listen up. Whoever holds the conch gets to speak. That's the rule.
Larry: Is this like assembly, sir?
Ralph: Yeah. Except anybody who wants to speak gets to
Piggy: But not before they get the conch
Ralph: Right. There doesn't seem to be anybody here except us
Jack Merridew: And a pig
Pablo: It was a wild boar!
Rapper: No! It was a regular pig! Big, but regular!
Piggy: If it was a regular pig then it must have got here from people
Rapper: Yeah, if there's pigs, there's people!
[Rapper snorts, and the other boys laugh]
Ralph: Ok, cadets, like I said, this island's probably uninhabited
Jack Merridew: But we don't know, we've gotta explore more
Ralph: Right, there's a lot of things we gotta do. But the main thing is we're not by ourselves, we've got Captain Benson
Piggy: Can I speak?
[Takes the conch from Ralph]
Piggy: The most important thing is who knows we're here? Nobody knows we're here. They know where we were going, but they don't know where we are because we never got where we were going
Larry: Where were we going?
Piggy: We were going home
Ralph: I'm sure they're out looking for us. We should set up some kind of steady signal like a fire and keep it going all the time. And we're gonna have to have rules
Jack Merridew: Can I have the conch?
[Takes the conch from Ralph]
Jack Merridew: Yes, Ralph's right, we've definitely gotta make a fire
