Director's Nod to 1980's Blue Lagoon

I noticed the directors give nods to 1980's Blue Lagoon. One is the reference to the berries Emma notice once they were marooned on the island which Dean recited a rhyme about which berries one could eat, second is the close up camera shot from above when Emma and Dean are laying together, and the third is Indiana's hair braiding is the same as Brook's in the 1980's Blue Lagoon towards the end of the movie. Can anyone points out any other that I missed?

They were naked and having sex. Oh, and Christopher Atkins was in it. Sorry but i quite like the original film, even the second with Milla Jovovich. This is not a "nod" to the original. It's an embaressing insult.

I think probably one of the biggest nods to the original is that Indiana's character's full name was Emmaline,same as Brooke in the first one,just spelled differently. :-)

Yes i noticed that too, but I dont get how fans of the original film would not hate and resent this awful Lifetime movie; it's so awful that it almost hurts the earlier films.
