Desert Paradise
The Premier Classic DVD Collection version of "Paradise" lasts for 90 minutes and has no extras. Leonard Maltin writes it is a 100 minute movie; IMDB says 100 minutes ordinarily but only 90 for the USA. There are optional Korean subtitles and no extras. The DVD cover is a mix of English and Korean and has stills from actions not in this version, including a wedding scene. The picture and sound are good. There is some controversial blurring of the genitals of the David McBride/Willie Aames character. I can't compare this version to others.

There are natural comparisons to "The Blue Lagoon", with an attractive young couple living undressed and unmissed out in the middle of nowhere. In "The Blue Lagoon" the protagonists are shown figuring out how to get along in the wild and having to decide how much effort to make to escape. In "Paradise" the protagonists seem content to remain where they are and move only when The Jackal chases them out. There is no time spent on how to find food or how worrying about how to get home. "Paradise" is a much faster paced movie but raises fewer questions and is not as well acted.

I speculate that for those who are looking primarily at the bodies, those looking at the women will prefer "Paradise" (Phoebe Cates) and those looking at the men will prefer "The Blue Lagoon" (Christopher Atkins).

"Paradise" is entertaining fluff with superior eye-candy.

Not That Great
Can't give this one more that 2 stars, because the nude scenes just weren't that good. Maybe it was the quality of the dvd, which was poor, or the way they were shot. Whatever, the story was dumb, acting was bad, and since the main reason for buying the disk was for Phoebe Cates nude scenes, it wasn't worth it. Better quality would have added a least one star.

I first learned to abuse fast forward and rewind of our betamax because of this movie!
Definitely better than Blue Lagoon just by the mention of Phoebe Cates. I owe the start of my puberty to the Betamax tape of this movie. I feel it's produced in Saudi Arabia, and Phoebe Cates was tricked to go nude, because she was never as hot in anywhere of later flicks that she did. She's even sexier here than in Fast Times.
