Genre: Adventure, Drama, Thriller
Rating: Unrated
Runtime: 90 minutes

Harry Hook's adaptation is not as faithful to the William Golding novel as you'd wish (they excised the Lord of the Flies dialogue with Simon!) and because of it, the movie is less allegorical and less resonant. A group of young men from a military … more »



Ralph:
The reason I'm calling this assembly is, too much people are screwing around when they should be working. I mean there's a bunch of things. Some kids don't even know when to use the bathroom.

Tony:
Yeah. There's this one kid, the other day he took a sh*t in his pants and then sat in it! I'm not naming names because it's possible, Mikey couldn't help it!

[The boys laugh and tease Mikey]

Piggy:
Everybody shut those goddamn mouths! Ralph's got the conch!

Ralph:
All I mean is we have to have more discipline, and more spearfishing. We've gotta have real food.

Rapper:
[Offscreen] We should be hunting pigs

Ralph:
That's all I got to say. Anyone else want the conch?

Luke:
Some jerk-off stole my pocketknife.

Steve:
Yeah, things are disappearing all over.

Will:
What are we gonna do with thieves when we catch 'em?

[The boys all start all shouting out their opinions]

Tony:
Shove their dick in the conch!

Sam:
Put a stick up their butt! Ram it in there!

Ralph:
OK, OK! We can't have kids stealing and just running wild. We're gonna have to have stricter rules. And hand out demerits, I guess.

[The boys scoff and joke at the idea]

Roger:
Demerits?

Rapper:
Demerits for grand larceny?

Will:
Eat sh*t and die!

Jack:
[Pumping a fist in the air] YEAH!

[The boys all continue laughing out of excitement. Peter goes up to Ralph, and the boys all stop]

Peter:
Sir?

[Ralph looks at Peter]

Peter:
Are we ever going home?

Ralph:
Of course we are. As soon as they see our signal.

Peter:
Jack says that we're never gonna be rescued.

Ralph:
No, you misunderstood him, that's not what he meant.

Jack:
That's exactly what I meant. There's eight million islands out here. Why should they find this one?

Ralph:
[To Peter] Don't listen to him. We will be rescued, Peter, honest.
