Trivia

According to the filmmaker's commentary on the DVD version of this film (at 0:06:09), because of the loud noise from the sea and jungle on the beaches of the islands on which the movie was set, none of the dialogue could be recorded synchronously at the actual locations where the scenes were filmed. Instead, at the end of each day, the actors would be taken to a quiet location in the interior of the islands, where the dialogue for the scenes they had just filmed would be recorded from memory to be re-mixed, word by word, during the editing process. The one exception is the scene where Piggy tells some of the younger children how his hometown of Camberly got its name (which is also the only scene in the movie which is not based on a scene in the original book.)
