I laughed my ass off when she hit him with the coconut 😅😂🤣

Many people (especially at that time), point out the bad acting and dialogue delivery. When I initially saw this movie when I was 13, I thought it was genuinely bad acting too, and didn’t really pay attention. Watching it when I’m older, I can’t believe it took me this long to realize Brooke and Chris are speaking like this on purpose. Being stuck on an island as a 7 and 9 year old, no adults around, no older teenagers, no tv or any kind of media to watch and absorb to help one grow more mature, coherent, and “balanced” in their speech pattern. They permanently retained their childlike diction, because there was zero outside influence to help them grow out of it. This is evident in Brooke’s character saying “San Fr’isco” instead of “San Francisco”. She never became grammatically aware enough to pronounce it correctly, even after hearing the word as a child. But apparently, this flew over the heads of pretty much everyone when this film released, and many people today. Some point out it’s just bad acting, and they can still act and speak like a kid and do good acting, like Tom Hanks in Big. Except, Tom didn’t copy child speech. Brooke and Chris here, literally adapted speech articulation of real children, which in turn actually makes it rather authentic to the story. But since a child’s way of talking is considered “flawed” and not how more mature people are supposed to articulate, it evidently translates badly when not coming out from the mouth of an actual child. When coming out of anyone who isn’t that age, it intuitively sounds unnatural, awkward, and very inauthentic. In other words….”bad acting”. It’s not just speech too. It’s body language. The way Brooke emphatically places her hands on her hips for example. She’s overdoing it. Children do this. They over-exaggerate simple movements. It’s really a paradox. It does on the surface SEEM like bad acting. But anyone who has been around your normal 7, 8, or 9 year old, this is similar to how they generally sound. Having these characters speak like regular 15 year olds, growing up in that type of environment, would make absolutely zero sense. A real head scratcher this one.

Wait he can build a damn near luxury suite pad but not a boat

Her beauty is unparallel. When you see her in interviews in the 80's she's even more beautiful.

That direct hit with the coconut is still funny to this day.

The smile he gives her at the end cracks me up everytime 🤣🤣🤣

I am just obsessed with their baby-ish accents.

The most childish conversation ever 😂

Reading all the comments it is so strange how many of us have a nice, nostalgic memory about this movie as a child. It is R-rated cinema, yet so many kids found it relatable

Why is this actually comedy gold, the way he smiles at her at the end 😂😂

She didnt want him to leave her in the beginning, so that is why she looked concerned, and then since the boat broke down, she she was relieved and that is truly why she laughed.

Am i the only one dying when she talks about seeing him snapping the carrot? "I've seen it all; what happens after you've been doing it a long time" lmao

I had to sneak into the movie theater to see this because I was either 14 or 15 when it came out. It was rated R, and the ticket seller was also the manager. Lucky back then exit doors weren't as protected as they are now.

Wth are you pissed about bruh. You're stuck on an island with her. Don't have to ask me twice.

This movie shows what a world without everything in it would be like... Nothing but innocent and natural love...

Brooke Shields is so cute with her good acting back then.

Not a smart thing to throw out the only girl on your island.

The acting is pretty good, compared to the writing.

How are they both literally perfect like they’re not real

Ms. Shields took the hearts of everyone in this movie, she played an innocent girl marooned on a desert island, along with a companionship. They have a child together, a little boy, while trying to learn the ropes of life's struggle. Your laugh, twist, & turns, look elegant, your acting converses everyone, what their overall symbolic & expressionist standpoint became. Lisa

The sound the coconut made when it hit his head - 😂 😂

"You're to busy staring at my buppies!" Oh...

I’m not gonna lie brooke shields was pretty back then and she still is but still that doesn’t excuse what she went thru all because of her mother

"This is where we live. This is our home, now and forever." This line makes me cry It shows what love can do to people One can only starve to death or go mad trying to avoid so but their love makes them not just survive but live a "happy" (at least to them) life together They were pure and innocent children and stayed that way for longer and there were no cell phones or computers back then so their little amount of desire can easily be fulfilled Don't expect their love & relationship to be healthy, expect them to be unusually codependent because they're on their own and they make their own rules that only apply to themselves It's one of the most beautiful films and one of my favorite of all time imo and it really shows how a movie can be an excellent escapism and we audience are like outsiders taking a peek at their lives and the freaking beautiful island

She looked sooo beautiful in this movie. 😍

It was so clever of her knowing his been playing with it.

Their hut was way better than Tom Hanks and his volleyball built.

He gets to spend the rest of his life with her alone on this paradise island.... poor guy ..... shucks , he's got it bad ...

With his smile in the end i bursted out laughing🤣🤣🤣

Took them a while to realize what his tool is use for.

Watching this movie 30 years later, it's like watching a completely different movie. I don't know where modern Cinema is going nowadays, but we definitely lost something really beautiful in the process. I would like have the words to explain what it is, but i don't.

*Hootchie gootchie, hootchie gootchie. See them jiggle, wiggle and shake* LOL 😂😂😂

Brooke Shields looks like she'd be Leonardo DiCaprio sister.

The original was the best in my opinion. So touching to see it now all these years later.

The fucken noise the coconut makes when it beans his brains 😂

Ha I remember watching this back then when I was around their same age and thinking ya know if I was stranded with Brooke I think I’d just stay stranded with Brooke!

I remember still almost each sentence of this movie 😂 a watched it as a child so many times !!! Lovely music ! Lovely movie !!!

I love the music in this film.

She's always been a beautiful lady 💕💜💙💛💯

I like how they act childish because they lived on the island since they were kids lol

That smile at the end. 😄 lmao

“Oh Richard I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hit you” Then why the fuck did you aim directly for him?😂😂😂

Brooke is one of the greatest of all time natural beauties.

The sound the coconut hitting him is the funniest bit

I Was Laughing My Ass Off When They Were Arguing 😂

This is the strangest episode of Gilligan’s Island I’ve ever seen.

I’m pretty sure relationships go through all that negativity

*I understand few may believe me, but I am extremely grateful to still be married (30yrs) to a cross between Jennifer Connelly & Brooke Shields because although my wife is now in her late 50s she looks late 30s & will always be the love on my life.*

Oh man...my first celebrity crush. She was gorgeous. Had posters of her all over my room as a kid.

It's an amazing movie that most people don't really get the genius behind it all.

I love this scene from Top Secret! 😂

This movie is beautifull Brooke Shields is so cute

Christopher Atkinson: "I could never be alone on a tropical paradise island with nobody except a teenage Brooke Shields" Every adolescent boy ever: "Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

I forgot how much in love I was with her.....

The worse thing is when the boat fell to pieces, his pet basketball, Wilson, went overboard.

Wow, what dialogue

I watched this fully uncensored once, amazing flick by the way the natural settings was the best part of the film.

I never saw this movie. One of my better decisions.

Richard was being so overdramatic lmao. She started it by teasing, he teased back..he threw a coconut and missed, she threw on back at him and didn't miss, he slapped her back and even threw in an insult for good measure. *In my head, they're even steven now.* He didn't have to try and kick her out the house after he got payback... but technically he's probably not mentally older than like 7 so... *But that shit eating smile he gave when he was sitting all comfy while she was cold outside tho... lmao so terrible but kinda realistic. Children really are stubborn like that.*

I watched this movie when i was a kid and i would imagine myself being in the same situation as the guy lol...

Fell in love with Brooke at 12 and she still is amazing even now.

the coconut part and the slap 🤣

“I’ve seen you playing with it” 🥴🥴🥴😏😏 lmfao

Built a boat...a house on stilts....and all you could muster was a dirty rag to cover your backside with??

If I was stranded on a South Pacific Island in the middle of no where with no one ever coming to it, and a teenage Brooke Shields was there with me.............leaving, would NEVER enter my mind.

Richard is the ultimate Anti-Simp 😂😂😂

I am mesmerized by how beautiful Brooke is in this movie.

1) Are people still not realizing that the way they speak is on purpose ( you expect two people who were washed ashore on this island as literal children with little / no parental figure to know how to articulate words and speak like educated adults? ) - they way they act like children is on purpose 2) YES we know that they're cousins - again, they were kids and grew up with no education on what's right or wrong. their mentality is that of *children*, they don't know how bad or gross incest is, that's the point. 3) Yes, we know the actress was a minor. for god's sake this was released in 1980, it's not like they can change that now. 4) this is a very good movie.

They ran out of "never-wake-up" berries at my supermarket.

I was 12 when this came out...saw it at my local theater....I was in love with Brooke Sheilds.big time....basically my first real love..time flies folks

Richard lestrange. Must be Bellatrix grandfather or father.

2:04 Sean Connery would be proud

This was a fantastic movie , must have won every Academy Award! lol

I don't think I've seen more animosity in 3 minutes

The back slap is pretty brutal. You're always going to catch them with you knuckle and probably miss the fleshy part of the cheek and get them in the eye

Brooke Shields was a once in a generation beauty! What is she 50? Still a beauty

this still makes me think of the movie “TOP SECRET!”

Jeeeeeeeez, I forgot how cute she was

This is the greatest movie on earth

She called him a silly dodo lmaoo

"Iv'e seen it all.." lol

1:57 - The replay button you didn't know you needed?

Movies like this made people like your parents hit puberty kids, before there was internet.

This was a beautifully made movie & the sequels as well

They're like siblings that do the deed...

Now Richard can read his book with all the answers without being nagged at.

Brook is was and always will be gorgeous 😍

I forgot about what a great actress she was. And by "she" I mean Meryl Streep.

Yes, he is Bellatrix's great-great-great-great-grandfather.

One of my fav movies ever❤❤

It stands through time. Pretty, yes! Good movie, truth

The mind can easily be deceived until you grow up and realize, it's not as good as they promote! it to be 😂😂😂

1:57 😆 😆 😆

This movie is ridiculous the fact that shield's parents allowed her to star in this as much as many other explicit movies is INSANE

I have seen this movie during 1980 new year at chennai Devi theatre. Fantastic Film

Ah yes.. The Blue Lagoon. The movie you were not allowed to see so instead you watched in secret because "certain scenes" were a bit different than most movies on tv back then. Remember kids.. This was WAY before the internet.

Ok but can we talk about 2:09 and how unrealistically fast he’s throwing her stuff out?

I love the blue lagoon is my favourite romantic movie 🥰🤟

I remember seeing this movie before! It's been a while

It’s disgusting how she was a minor and he was a full adult during this
