Plot synopsis:
Jack (Billy Zane) and Jennifer (Kelly Brook) are a well-off married couple. He is a millionaire, and she is young and sexy. They share a private boat with some other friends like Maggie Richards (Isabelle Constantini), the wife of the captain of the ship, Captain Richards (Gary "Tex" Brockette). Brazilian young worker Manuel (Juan Pablo Di Pace) works at the ship. As the boat is leaving Manuel is seen striking a woman, presumably his girlfriend. Jack is accustomed to do as he pleases and thinks that his money will grant him every caprice in the world, which doesn't prevent him to feel jealous about his young wife. Jack is much older, and there is a feeling in his head that his wife may be with him because of his money. There is a fight between Manuel and Jack concerning Jennifer. Manuel quits his job on the boat after the conflict with Jack and throws a dish towel on a lit stove. This causes the boat to catch on fire and everyone to evacuate. There are only three survivors: the love triangle of Jack, Manuel and Jennifer in the middle. At first, Manuel and Jennifer think they are alone on the island and are having a hard time surviving without the ability to make fire. They go swimming together and Jennifer discovers that the woman Manuel struck was his girlfriend and he struck her because she claimed to be pregnant. Soon they find Jack in a pool and he has a lighter.Jack is constantly jealous of Manuel and Jennifer. The couple build a hut on the beach, - they consider the island jungle uninhabitable because of the swarms of mosquitoes - and Manuel builds his own hut next to them, but with clear limits between one home and the other. They worry constantly about getting food, the always-prowling sharks on the shore, the sharp reef, the keeping of the fire - Jack has got his own lighter, but they always have fear that it will extinguish. Manuel is younger and stronger. He tries to keep his distance with Jen, but it's difficult, as the island is not that big, although is big enough to have fresh water. Manuel is the main food provider: he climbs palm trees to get coconuts, he dives to fish... Jack seems unable to do those physical things, but it doesn't prevent him to keep from threatening Manuel to finish him off as soon as they leave the island. Manuel says that Jack's money is useless in the island, meanwhile Jack insists that he will boycott Manuel in their future lives post-island.Antagonism between Jack and Manuel escalate. Jack forbids Jen to eat the fish Manuel has caught, as from that moment on he wants to be the "breadwinner". Jen talks to Manuel nicely, so he offers her some fish. She doesn't tell Jack, but he finds it out. She defends herself, saying that she has stolen it from Manuel, in spite of which he isn't angry with her. Jack tries to fish even harder.One day, Jen and Manuel get caught in a fight, and they finally end up making love on the beach. Jack realises that, so he attacks Manuel. The Brazilian is stronger and Jen switch sides: she goes to Manuel's hut.Jack creates some goggles with parts of a plastic bottle. That way, he can rescue the sunk boat. Jen and Manuel run to him, but he doesn't want to share his recovery. Manuel and Jennifer plot to steal Jack's boat when he is distracted.Jack is eavesdropping while Jennifer and Manuel are making love in the water and they make up their plan. The next morning, Jack says that he's going to create a sail for the boat, and is going to fish before he leaves. Jen and Manuel run to get away in the boat, while Jack makes believe he's really angry, but sits to see what happens instead.When Manuel and Jen are two kilometres away, they realise that the boat has some missing parts, so water is going to flood it. They have to swim back all the way to the island. When they reach the island, Manuel is so tired that Jack can beat him up. Jack hits Manuel in the back with a spear though Manuel is eventually able to fight off Jack. Jen tries to stop them to no avail. She ends up tied to a pole where Jack threatens to rape her in front of Manuel. Manuel shows up and he and Jack fight which is enough time for Jen to escape. Jen and Manuel escape into the jungle.This separates the two groups even more: they steal each other's fish, they design traps for one another, and they hate each other more and more. Jack realises that there is a trap intending to kill him. At this point, the audience begins to see the images of a Manuel's pregnant girlfriend doing a voodoo ritual: she's setting a curse to Manuel. That's what helps Jack to realise about the trap. He sees Manuel and Jen who have climbed up to the top of a tree. He throws a spear and aims at Manuel. Manuel falls down. He tries to fight, despite Jennifer's attempts to reason with either of them. Manuel is weak from his wounds, his fall to the ground, and in the ensuing fight, Manuel is about to kill Jack while Jen holds him down but the voodoo woman makes Manuel fall over with her spell and he lands on a sharp stick, killing him. Jen hates Jack at this point, but she has to keep on living with him.A year or maybe more has passed since the three castaways reached the island. Jennifer is sleeping on her hut, when two children (Summer Davis & Keera Ann Davis) wake her up. They have gone to her hut in the beach attracted by the weird construction. The parents realise that she is a castaway and leave with her in their small boat.Jen takes the lighter with her. Jack is fishing, and she doesn't mention him to the family who has rescued her. She sees him swimming from the boat but doesn't call back to the captain. She is abandoning her husband for good.At first, on seeing the boat, Jack is overjoyed, but when he sees the boat living without him, the smile goes off his face.

Review: Having said that I did manage to watch it all, mainly because I was totally transfixed by the jiggling and kind of hoping that her character would come good in the end.
'Three' is described as a steamy erotic thriller guaranteed to create an atmosphere so tense you can barely swallow for fear whilst at the same time it is full of hot performances with lavish sexual tension on the screen.This is what we are led to believe by the studio.Alas, like so many promises in life I fear these comments are a well intentioned attempt to try and hide the truth of the matter.And the truth of the matter is really very simple.The truth is printed on the front cover of the DVD where the crafty devils at the studio placed a rather attractive picture of the lead lady on the front cover of the DVD along with the words "Kelly finally exposes all." This, I believe, is a far better description of the true merits of the movie.If like me, you rented this film because you heard on the grapevine that Kelly Brook was actually filmed in the buff then I feel you represent the vast majority of aficionados of this rather delightful film, and let's be honest the storyline is ropey as hell, and the acting poor, and the characters are dislikeable.
The story started out well by quickly going into action where we see two couples, including Billy Zane and Kelly Brook, chartering a boat in some area like in the Caribbean.
I suppose the movie can be both but if that was the case, the movie was not well executed for that purpose.I also had problem with Billy Zane's character in that we don't know whether his behavior is influenced by voodoo or whether it was innate within him.
Billy Zane plays Jack, a wealthy Texas businessman who takes a trip with his trophy wife, Jennifer, played by Kelly Brook in a private yacht in the South Seas.
Billy Zane delivers a solid performance as always and Kelly Brook is reminiscent of Nicole Kidman in Dead Calm: a captivating natural beauty.
Three (known as Survival Island in the good old' U.S. of A., which is a horrible title), is best known as that movie where Kelly Brook gets her knockers out.
You know, late-night cable cheesecake movie, and it's true that the spectacular Kelly Brook spends almost all of her screen time in a tiny white bikini, gets naked and has very hot sex with abandon with both of her costars.
Kelly Brook delivers a very solid and believable performance, and Billy Zane completely nails his part in a deeply human and nuanced tour de force.
When I imagine the same situation, only in the company of busty Brit babe Kelly Brook, whose entire wardrobe consists of a tiny white bikini and a green chiffon scarf, being so far away from civilisation suddenly seems much more bearableIn Three (AKA Survival Island), boat-hand Manuel (Juan Pablo Di Pace) finds himself stranded on a deserted island with Jennifer (played by voluptuous Brook) after a fire on a chartered yacht forces them overboard.
Manuel takes a liking to Jennifer ('cos, you know, he's not blind, or gay) but he's barely had time to acquaint himself with the lovely lady before another survivor is washed up on the island: Jennifer's husband Jack (Billy Zane), who's none too happy at seeing Manuel eyeing up his tasty wife.
Kelly Brook can't act to save her life but she's got a killer set of curves, and with the gorgeous gal strutting around in her swimsuit, occasionally taking it off for a swim or to have sex in the surf, I was never bored.
It's amazing that Kelly Brook's character can actually be more dislikeable as the film goes on.
Billy Zane seems to revel in the role, but I think it's because he gets to spend the shoot on an island and he doesn't have to shave his head.Juan Pablo Di Pace plays a good hornball..
The three survivors are unfortunately played by Kelly Brook, Billy Zane and Juan Pablo Di Pace.
You'd probably never expect a low-budget indie movie that you'd never heard of staring Billy Zane to actually be any good, but "Three" actually surpassed my expectations by quite a bit.The plot itself is pretty standard fair; it's your basic lost on a desert island 3-way love triangle, with Billy Zane playing the part of the jealous husband, Kelly Brook playing the part of the wife, and some random model-looking Hispanic guy playing the part of the random model-looking Hispanic guy.The fact that the plot has been done many times before (including with Billy Zane in Dead Calm) does not surprisingly subtract anything from the film.
I guess that just goes to show you what good writing, acting, and directing can do, because the movie is a very well done suspenseful thriller.One of the greatest assets to the film and at least for me what made it stand out from the crowd aside from what I've already mentioned is the incredible Kelly Brook.
After watching countless Hollywood films where the lead actress is so horrendously skinny that she looks like she never went through puberty seeing Kelly Brook here in this movie, with all her parts completely natural is really a sight for sore eyes.
In addition, I was actually surprised to see that Billy Zane can actually do some pretty convincing acting.I would define this film as a pretty good thriller with a picture-postcard background.
Okay you can send your brain to sleep while watching this but it's certainly watchable and a topless Kelly Brook, makes up for any failing in the acting, or script.
All in all it's actually a decent movie, if you get past the premise that being stranded on an exotic island with Kelly Brook, is way more remote (in chance), than the idyllic location..
Focus on the other couple, balding but rich Billy Zane (as Jack) and his beautifully proportioned wife Kelly Brook (as Jennifer).
Brook never stops titillating and never has to try.***** Survival Island/Three (11/16/2005) Stewart Raffill ~ Kelly Brook, Billy Zane, Juan Pablo Di Pace, Maria Victoria Di Pace.
this is the worst film I've seen in a long long time, never mind the fact that so many useful things keep appearing on this island "how convenient!!!!", the acting is beyond poor from the outset, its like one of those really badly scripted soft porn films on channel 5, a complete waste of time, and i cant remember the lead actors name but i cant believe he still gets work!!!
I give it 9/10 because I think that with not much money they have made a 10 times better film than most of the big budget movies that came out the last few years.
Kelly Brook walks out of the water onto the beach just like Ursula Andress in that Bond film.
The difference is that Brook is much hotter.After a fire on a charter boat, Jennifer (Brook) and her husband Jack (Billy Zane) are stranded along with Manuel (Juan Pablo Di Pace).Now, this is not a good mix by any stretch of the imagination: a hot Latin lover-boy, a beautilicious babe, and a husband that is insanely jealous and full of himself.Things come to a head and they are full at it, trying to kill each other.
I watched it without expecting much, but I got more than I expected.Luckily for them, the island has coconut trees, and they have water and food from them as well as fishes and lobsters from the reef.Survival themed programs were popular when this movie was made, and it reminds me of watching Survivor or some other reality show, but the actors were lot better in this movie.I kind of liked this movie, it wasn't as boring as some reviewers have mentioned.
If you want to feel like you just wasted what seems like an eternity on the worst film ever created then by all means watch this movie.
Survival Island is a film that I happened to come upon on one of the cable movie channels a few months ago.
It's a bit of a slow-going film with no real suspense until the middle and end of the movie.
When i first heard about this film i thought it was going to be bad, then the reviews said it was bad so i expected a bad film as you do, on actual fact the film is pretty good in a way, its a good story, decent cast, decent acting but in my eyes very bad directing and even worse editing.The story is very basic, all you need to do is watch the trailer to basically know what happens through out the film, the main attraction of course is miss kelly brook who does quite a lot, show a lot of flesh.
Billy Zane was actually excellent as the paranoid and obsessed arrogant husband and Juan Pablo Di Pace was also good as the young Brazilian (or Spanish) love rival.
Kelly is a lovely looking girl and my wife said Juan Pablo isn't bad either!.
how many people rented this movie just to see Kelly Brook's boobies?
I've seen plenty worse (for the genre, then "Swept Away", aka Ritchie's Folly springs to mind) and the characters are reasonably developed.Occasionally the script is trite, and you can't help but feel a little sympathetic for Jack (Billy Zane, Brook's real-life boyfriend) and the way he's been treated.
Take two guys (a husband and another man), put a pure bombshell woman in the middle of them, ad a deserted island, subtract all her moral issues, ad a whole bunch of moral issues to the men and mix it in a big bowl of arguments, fish and a zippo lighter and you will come up with a piece of junk movie like this.
Three people wash ashore of a deserted island: we got your basic WASP (the always underrated Zane), his trophy wife (the beautiful Brook) and your basic mcjob cabana boy.Without a link to 'the world', things start to go "lord of the flies": in isolation, where your knowledge, money and social status mean nothing and you are measured by your primal abilities - hunt for food, build a shelter - the woman truly becomes a trophy as the cabana boy finally has his day, being supreme to the so-called "educated man".Now I believe some people would call this movie thin and questionize the main trio's actions and reactions.
Okay, this isn't Oscar material, or even on the A list of films most likely, but I enjoyed this entertaining, spicy romp in the sand immensely.Lots of delicious scenes of Kelly in her bikini and a few even more delicious shots of her not in the bikini, also some nude back shots of Juan Pablo DiPace.
And some high-intensity love making scenes, definitely make this film worth watching.First of all we've got the gorgeous girl with the killer body in a white bikini played by Kelly Brook.
Then we've got Manuel, played by Juan Pablo DiPace, a very handsome, very sexy actor from Argentina, that I certainly hope I see more of in future films.The premise is simple and straight forward, and the plot is driven by the characters and their circumstances.
A wealthy older man, Jack, played by Billy Zane - looking mighty fine, and his beautiful wife, Jenny, along with some friends of theirs, have rented a nice cruiser for some fun time out on the ocean.During the outing, there's friction between Manuel, a crew member, and the wealthy businessman, Jack.The boat catches on fire and sinks, and we see beautiful Jenny struggling ashore.
but if you are a fan of thriller and enjoy a good suspense, you CAN't miss out this one.The whole setting of this movie is quite simple: a small island located somewhere in the middle of the sea, where three people got trapped.
The plot is so intense and got some twist that will keep you guessing till the end of the movie.Billy Zane, Kelly Brook, Juan Pablo Di Pace, all three leading actors delivered impressive performance.
Kelly Brook is really HOT and surely knows how to act.
And so in tradition of the Big Bounce, After the Sunset and Into the Blue, comes Three, a paper thin thriller with some completely gratuitous sex scenes and a nonsensical plot.On the plus side, we get 90 minutes making a very compelling case for Kelly Brook winning a high profile poll recently regarding the greatest bikini bodies of all time, and she is truly a sight to behold.
The location certainly looks nice, though it is rather hard to believe we are on a deserted remote island.The performances are all what you'd expect, with Zane easily stealing the film from his rather wooden co stars.
We see her having wild sex with Jack while tied up in the opening 15 minutes, even sounding open to the idea of a threesome and as the movie develops we can't help but think that Jennifer is the exact type of woman who'd go rolling around in the sand on a deserted island with a hot Spaniard, making her husband's paranoia perfectly understandable.But in the end Three does exactly what it says on the label, and will probably help Kelly Brook top best bikini body polls for years to come..
Aside from being well endowed and great to look at, Kelly Brooks' character just totally disgusts me, as does the worthless Latin lover that conveniently winds up on the island with her and her husband.
The whole voodoo thing was just absurd and contributed nothing at all to the movie.The only character that I can empathize with is Billy Zane's character, but somehow he's made out to be a villain, apparently because he's not screwing anybody's else's wife, doesn't want anybody else screwing his, and has the gall to be upset when his wife quite willingly and intentionally bangs another guy right in front of him.
like a Harlequin romance novel on a desert island, with an inconvenient husband getting in the way of a wife that dreams of banging a hot, young, Latin guy.Oh and by the way, apparently people on desert islands don't need nearly as much water as people living on the rest of the planet, but they do need an awful lot of food, since they only take a few swigs off of some coconuts, and drink a little rain water that they catch the ONE time it rains on the island in the entire movie.
In short, if you just was to see Kelly Brooks topless and don't care about a good script, good acting, or a good ending, then by all means watch this.
Then Billy Zane (Jack, Kellys characters husband) shows up and of course, two days without knowing what his wife has been doing whit this gorgeous Juan P, he is a little bit jealous.
It should be said that Kelly and Billy seems to have a working relationship before this island incident, at least, they have intimate sex on the boat and talks like people do when they like each other.
Billy Zane plays a not very nice person, and Juan P isn't actually much better if you really think about it.
If you where the Kelly character, would you consider cheating on your husband, knowing one day you'll be back in real life, and all of a sudden Billys maybe not that horrible person after all.
Spoiler for the Movie Survival Island [2006} BIG TIME SPOILER!.
In this film, Manuel fills the role of the man with more practical skills, while Kelly's husband, Jack, comes across as less skilled in basic survival technology, and thus is envious.
You may not believe in the power of voodoo, but that is the reason it is included, like it or not.....In the rape scene, Kelly runs into the water after livid Manuel, who is carrying his fishing spear and hoping to catch Jack, who stole his goggles so that he could be successful in catching reef fish.
I think, in part, Manuel's action is a way of getting back at Jack for stealing his goggles......Should Kelly have told the rescuers that husband Jack was also on the island, if off fishing on the reef?
The story is no great shakes, we've seen many people marooned on desert islands in movies before from Tom Hanks in "Castaway" to Lee Marvin in "Hell In The Pacific." What we have here is a love triangle between a married couple (Brook and Billy Zane) and a Hispanic deckhand called Manuel.
Kelly Brook's character plays a woman cheating on her partner with another man.
Very bad movie but fun if you're a Kelly Brook fan.
The story is this: two guys stranded on an island after a freak yacht accident fight it out for the attentions of the beautiful Kelly Brook.
One of them, Billy Zane, plays Brook's soon-to-ex boyfriend and the other, "River City" actor Juan Pablo di Pace, plays the Latino hunk she leaves him for.There is some voodoo backstory to the plot but this is mostly irrelevant.
To many lusty males out there, this isn't going to be a bad thing.If you like Kelly Brook, you will love this movie.
It is one thing when a fine film like American Psycho deliberately tries to get us to empathise with the villain but in Survival Island I felt like I was watching a movie about Ted Bundy but the director failed to make him unlikeable and instead made us hate his victims.
It's written and directed by Stewart Raffill and stars Juan Pablo Di Pace, Kelly Brook and Billy Zane.
Kelly Brook is incredibly hot and wears little to nothing for the whole movie.
First off, I just watched a movie on SHOWTIME called Survival Island.
It says it was a 2006 movie with Billy Zane and since I like him and couldn't sleep I thought I would check it out.
