I can't say it's a complete disaster - the movie does provide an evil arachnid Muppet; Gary -"He has Torgo area" - and Babs -who played fullback for the Lions?- But all in all, there is not a lot of laughs to be found on this desert isle. Strangely below average experiment.

Stuff and Nonsense
* Barbara "Babs" Valentin was a close friend of Freddie Mercury and lived with him until his death. She also can be seen in the video for Queen's "It's A Hard Life".
* Harald Maresch-Raymond "Joe" (listed 'Temple Foster' in the credits) dated actress Lupe Velez. The two broke up and a pregnant Velez killed herself. In her suicide note, she named Harald the father of her child. The public blamed Raymond for her death and his career went into the tank.
* Alex D'Arcy "Gary" can also be seen in the Cary Grant film 'The Awful Truth'. Rent it, it's great! For fans of the TV show "Batman", Alex played a Jeweler in the show "Fine Feathered Finks".
