Line 16:
* [[Brick Joke]]: At the start of the movie the female welder sends a FedEx package to her husband in Moscow, who we see is cheating with a young Russian girl. At the end of the movie his name has been cut away from the sign above the entrance to her house.
* [[Can You Hear Me Now]]: Portrayed realistically here.
* [[California Doubling]] : The movie was filmed on one of the small uninhabited islands belonging to [[Useful Notes/Fiji|Fiji]], even though the movie's island is supposed to lie somewhere south of the Cook islands.
* [[Chekhov's Armoury]]: After a while, Chuck opens the Fed Ex boxes that washed ashore with him, and the contents appear to be comically useless for his situation: video tapes, a volleyball, ice-skates and such. He finds a use for all of them, ''especially'' the volleyball.
** In an interesting case, the writers chose these items by drawing them from dozens of others out of a hat, then asking survival experts how they could be used.
