[edit] Plot
The film revolves around Jack (Zane) and Jennifer (Brook), a rich couple who are shipwrecked after a yachting accident in the South Pacific. Washing up alone on a deserted island, Jennifer is forced to rely on their servant Manuel (Di Pace), seemingly the only other survivor of the wreck, to survive and with whom she begins to have an illicit affair. However, unknown to them Jack also makes his way to the island, and finding them together, plots to win Jennifer back.
While fishing, Jack finds a boat in the ocean he brings it to shore and attempts to kill Jennifer and Manuel with it, after an unsuccessful attempt to kill Jennifer and Manuel. Jack and Manuel end up fighting, and Jack kills Manuel. A while later a ship comes and rescues Jennifer, but she leaves Jack on the island claiming she was the only one alive on the island.
Survival Island could be considered a loose remake of Swept Away by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August [4].
One serious and potentially fatal error in the movie involves several scenes in which the men fish on the reef. Reef fish are notorious for containing potent toxins such as ciguatoxin, in many cases consumed from their algal food supply, and humans or other mammals that eat reef fish can die, rather painfully.
[edit] Production and Release
The film was produced during 2003 and was originally set for cinema release under the title Three in 2004. Three went on limited cinematic release on May 3, 2006 in the United Kingdom before being released to DVD on August 21, 2006. The cinematic release lasted for just one week in many cinemas. Three was release on DVD in the United States on August 15, 2006. It was also released theatrically in a number of European countries under its original title.
Actors Billy Zane and Kelly Brook met during the course of filming and later became engaged. In late 2005 Zane and Brook unsuccessfully challenged the film's producers to remove Brook's nude scenes from the movie, the eventual DVD release kept these scenes intact [1] [2].
Three as it was known in the UK suffered from poor reviews, gaining a rare one star rating on the BBC Movies website[3]
