As he begins to the mom takes a harpoon and knocks him out them dumps him into the ocean. MAJOR SPOILERS: As the 4 are initially out to sea in the small boat the seaman sees they are running short of water and wants to throw the two small crying children overboard. It is too much like the first one so not much new is explored, but interesting to see anyway.
#The return to the blue lagoon movie
No, by no means is this a great movie but it is interesting. As the story progressed and they entered puberty we see them facing many of the behavioral issues the teens in the first movie faced, and mirror what teens in our own society face. Brian Krause, who was 20 or 21 during filming, was Richard, the boy that the baby boy grew into. Milla Jovovich, who was only 14 or 15 during filming, is very suitable as Lilli, the girl the baby grew into on the island. The story that results is very similar to the first movie, in that an adult and 2 small children are stranded on an uncharted island, in fact the same uncharted island, and there the children grow into young adulthood. But on board the crew soon begin to come down with an illness, Cholera, so the woman and the two small children are put out on a lifeboat, it is their only chance to survive. On board the ship are a mother and her daughter, and she decides to care for the baby boy. As a small party from the ship board the small boat, they find the parents no longer alive, but the baby boy is fine. This movie, "Return", takes up where that one ended, somewhere in the Pacific, in the late 1800s. We don't really know what happened or if they survived. In 'Blue Lagoon' the movie ends with the young couple and their baby adrift at sea as a boat approaches.
#The return to the blue lagoon 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. 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. 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.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. 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.
