The Blue Lagoon/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Everybody Remembers the Stripper: That the leading actors spend most of the film partly nude seems to be much better remembered than the storyline.
  • Fridge Logic: Why didn't Emmeline just get out of the boat and swim for the oar in the first place. It's not like she had a fancy dress on or anything, and if the kid fell out of the boat, he can swim.
    • She didn't want to get eaten by the shark. After all, she threw that second oar at it to save Richard's life.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Apparently, the film is very popular among young Romanian men. Hmmm....
    • Also in Brazil, but due to severe overplay by its biggest network.
  • Glurge
  • Memetic Mutation: Thanks to being overplayed at TV, and thanks to a plot many consider, extremely, extremely boring, brazilian memes about the movie tend to compare it to a form of torture, or claim the protagonist are trapped, not in a deserted island, but at "Sessão da Tarde"(the name of the television program where the movie is usually exhibited, which can be translated as "Evening Session").
  • Puppy Love
  • Retroactive Recognition: Jake Puckerman from Glee is the school quarterback, with a minor role at the start of the film.
  • Sequelitis
  • Tastes Like Diabetes
