Revealing mistake: When they are burying the Swede on the beach, you can see him blink when they throw sand into grave.
Richard: I just feel like everyone tries to do something different, but you always wind up doing the same damn thing.
Question: Where did the filming for this movie take place? I assume there are many different areas, but the place I'm most interested in is the lagoon, where we see the brothers fishing, and where Richard has his encounter with the shark. Also, is this a populated area? It looks like it could be a good tourist attraction.
Chosen answer: It's Ko Phi Phi Leh island off the coast of Thailand. It's a protected area, off the beaten path, and tourism is discouraged. There are resorts on nearby islands.
