The Peter Benchley book/movie is about descendants of stranded pirates living on an island in the south seas, and still raiding passers-by.
I remember the movie being badly done, but it had its charms, and I too would like to see it again. The book was better, but still nothing amazing.
LOST actually reminded me of this movie, because "the others" kidnapping kids, etc., to make new converts for their cause, is part of "THE ISLAND".

It made it to laserdisc, but not in widescreen. For people who enjoy a bad movie that takes itself seriously, it's a lot of fun. Where's Hurry Sundown, anyway?
