Factual error: This is also in the original Golding novel - Piggy is nearsighted, which is corrected with negative (diverging) lenses. A positive (converging) lens is necessary to focus sunlight. However, the boys use his glasses to make fire, but they would not work.

Trivia
The attempt to make the locations look wild and uninhabited were obviously not altogether successful. Near the beginning of the movie, some boys are sitting in a sandy clearing in public-school blazers. On the right of the screen you can clearly see a tent peg with ANTONY M written on it. Also, as one of Jack's choirboy-hunters thrashes through the undergrowth, look closely and you can see that he accidentally impales an old beer can. See more...
