From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With Paddy

Answer: Northumberland

Richard is played by Christopher Atkins in the 1980 remake. But, in 1949 the movie starred Jean Simmons and Donald Houston as Emmaline Foster and Michael Reynolds. Jean Simmons experienced a long career in TV and movies. She was Sarah Brown in 1955's "Guys and Dolls" and Varinia in 1960's "Spartacus". Later she starred in the TV movie "Valley of the Dolls", both of the "North and South" mini-series as Orry's mother Clarissa Main, and the TV series "Dark Shadows". She was 20 years old when she played the part of the grown up Emmaline Foster.

Richard and Emmaline were thrown into the dinghy by the ship's cook, Paddy when the fire broke out on board.

4. After the beautiful musical sequence in which they reach physical adulthood, Richard wakes Em up and announces it is Christmas. Richard had marbles in his stocking, but where did they come from?

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With And Without A Paddy

Answer: oysters from the ocean

We see Richard farming pearls from oysters off of their beach. He sets up the entire Christmas event, just to please Emmaline. He provides her with reindeer hoof prints and all. She does figure out that Richard set the whole thing up.

5. How were Richard and Emmaline related?

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With Paddy

Answer: Cousins

Emmaline calls out for Richard's father several times, as Uncle Arthur. William Daniels played Arthur LeStrange. Mr. Daniels was the voice of the A.I. (artificial intelligence) KITT in the TV series "Knight Rider" from 1982-1986. He reprised that role in the 1991 TV movie "Knight Rider 2000".

6. Where was the ship going when the fire started and it sunk?

From Quiz The Blue Lagoon

Answer: San Francisco

Richard and his father were taking Emmaline home to San Franciso to live with them after her mother's funeral. Emmaline's mother and Richard's father were brother and sister!

7. What does Richard decide is his New Year's "revolution"?

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With And Without A Paddy

Answer: to stop fighting

Richard asks Emmaline why they fight so much. She says she doesn't know. Richard: " That should be our New Year's revolution, to stop fighting so much." Em: "I'll try, but I don't know what's wrong with me when I say the things I say." The kids forgot many of the correct words to songs, and in this case, that we make New Year's resolutions, not revolutions. Richard was close, but just a little off on the exact word to use.

8. While still aboard the ship, why was it that Paddy Button spanked Richard?

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With Paddy

Answer: He was looking through Paddy's belongings

There was not much for young kids to do on a long voyage. So, Richard and Emmaline snuck into the cook's room and rifled through his stuff. When caught, Richard was lingering on a photograph of a nude woman.

9. What is the first name of the ship's cook that rescued the children?

From Quiz The Blue Lagoon

Answer: Paddy

Even though he was a gruff old sea hag, he loved the children and tried to raise them the best way he knew how to on the island.

10. Pick the song that the kids did NOT attempt the words to that Christmas evening.

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With And Without A Paddy

Answer: Deck The Halls

Later in the movie, Richard attempts the words to the "Pledge of Allegiance". He is at the "God" altar, trying to save Em's life. He tries every kind of prayer he can muster. This altar was used for sacrifice by native inhabitants, and like Paddy warned, no place for them to visit.

11. Who played the children's life saver, Paddy Button?

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With Paddy

Answer: Leo McKern

Paddy saved the kids when their ship caught fire. He rowed them to a safe shore and taught them many survival skills before he died. Leo died at age 82 from a long illness, but you may remember him from his appearances in both of the first two "Omen" movies and 1985's "Ladyhawke".

12. What is Richard's last name?

From Quiz The Blue Lagoon

Answer: LeStrange

Richard's last name was not known until the scene in which Emmaline hits Richard in the head with a coconut!

13. After reaching safety on an island, the trio explore the area. They find a waterfall and bananas. Emmaline also finds a barrel that she said smelled like _________.

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With Paddy

Answer: The Captain's breath

Paddy was the ship's "cookie", so he knew immediately what Emmaline meant. The barrel contained some sort of liquor, which he promptly named as rum.

From Quiz The Blue Lagoon

Answer: Christopher Atkins & Atkins

He was virtually an unknown when the studio sent out calls for actors to audition for this part.

These, of course, are the same berries that baby Paddy eats at the end of the movie. Elva Josephson played young Emmaline. She was also in the 1982 movie "Author! Author!" with Al Pacino and Dyan Cannon.

17. What actress was originally supposed to be cast as an older Emmaline?

From Quiz The Blue Lagoon

Answer: Lori Loughlin

Lori Loughlin was cast to play the part as an older Emmaline, however, once filming started and Lori found out how much nudity there was going to be in the film, she pulled out. The other actress that the producers and directors wanted for the part, after Lori pulled out, was none other than Brooke Shields. The "Blue Lagoon" is the movie that catapulted her career and made her the star that she is today.

From Quiz The Blue Lagoon

Answer: The boogyman

Paddy stumbled across the other side of the island one night when he came across a barrel of liquor. After drinking some of it, he found a place of worship with blood all over the alter, and not wanting anything bad to happen to himself and the children, he made up the story of the boogyman to keep them away. However, as the next question tells you, he also had to tell them something else, so that they would know that he was serious.

20. Paddy proclaimed to have wives in many ports of sea. What was the actual number of marriages he told Richard he'd had?

From Quiz 'The Blue Lagoon' - With And Without A Paddy

I do not recall ever hearing little Paddy say mommy or Emmaline, but he said all of the other words, and said "fishies" a few times as well. He said the word boat when Arthur LeStrange's ship passed by the island looking for the kids. At the time, all three were covered in mud and Arthur did not believe they were the people he was looking for.
