They live in a house on the beach & spend their days together fishing, swimming, and exploring the island. Years later, both Richard and Lilli grow up into strong and beautiful teenagers. Together, the children survive solely on their resourcefulness and the bounty of their remote paradise. Sarah is buried on a scenic promontory overlooking the tidal reef area. When Richard and Lilli are about 8 years old, Sarah dies from pneumonia, leaving the kids to fend for themselves. She also cautiously demands them never to go to the forbidden side of the island. Richard & Lilli grow up & Sarah educates them from the Bible along with her own knowledge, including the facts of life. Sarah tries to raise the kids to be civilized, but she soon gives up as the orphaned boy, Richard was born and raised by young lovers on this same island and he influences the widow's daughter Lilli. The trio is stranded on a beautiful tropical island in the South Pacific. After days afloat, Kearney (a sailor who has been sent with them) attempts to kill the boy because of his excessive crying and Sarah angrily beats Kearney to death with a harpoon & dumps his body overboard. In 1897, a widow named Sarah Hargrave and her two young kids (one of whom is the son of the castaways from the original film) are cast off from the ship they are travelling on due to the ship's crew are infected with cholera.
#THE RETURN TO THE BLUE LAGOON NUDITY TV#
Graham made a career of TV movies and although RETURN TO THE BLUE LAGOON had a theatrical release, it feels very much like a second-rate outing in every respect.Spoiler warning: The following contains plot details about Jovovich definitely has something feral within her, but less use is made of that as in THE FIFTH ELEMENT, which handled her unique qualities perfectly. The age gap between Milla Jovovich and Brian Krause is too obvious, and Krause is as equally wooden as Christopher Atkins before him.
The acting doesn't really sit right either. Once again the film is all about puberty, isolation, love and family, except as it's not original it feels like a lukewarm rehash of the first movie. There are a few differences here - the adult with them is a woman, the boy is the son of the couple from THE BLUE LAGOON, they're staying in the same place so make use of the already-there house, etc.
It's an entirely superfluous kind of film that sees yet another couple of kids washed up on a desert island and having to fend for themselves against nature and their fellow man. RETURN TO THE BLUE LAGOON, made 11 years after the successful first film, is one of those movies that's happy to reprise the plot of the original while adding a few twists and tweaks of its own. After a confrontation with one of the crew and the captain's daughter, Lilli finds herself pregnant and they decide to stay, as they feel the civilization the visitors have to offer will not compare to the life they lead on the island. Years later as the children grow into adulthood, the film skims the same themes as the first of their developing relationship, and introduces the characters to civilization when a ship, low on fresh water, stops on their island and offers to take them home. When Sarah dies from pneumonia, she leaves the children far more prepared than Richard and Emmeline in the first film. Fixing up the hut and settling in the children, Sarah begins their life on the island, slowly teaching the children survival tools, as well as schooling them as though they were in school, and teaching them slowly about the facts of life, including Lilli's eventual growth to womanhood. The infant Richard, recognizing where he is, finds his home and is very upset not to find his parents. Taking control of the small craft, she eventually guides them back to the island of the first film. With water and food running short, the crew member escorting Sarah and the children becomes dangerous, so Sarah takes the only course of action she feels suitable to preserve the children: she strikes him and throws him overboard. Struck by cholera, the crew of the ship start to die and the captain sets Sarah, Richard, Lilli and a healthy crew member on a lifeboat in an attempt to preserve their lives. Taken in by Sarah, a widow with an infant baby girl Lilli, Richard (Paddy) is cared for in a return to civilization. Established in the first film, the only word Paddy ever says is "Richard", so the crew assumes Richard is the infant's name. We open the film with a ship finding the craft with our original characters in it, Richard and Emmeline dead and Paddy alive. While the general theme of this film resembles "The Blue Lagoon" (the film for which this is a sequel), the basic plot is quite different.
