Product Description

Product description

A mysterious, elegant man and his sidekick make the fantasies of paying customers come true on a Pacific island paradise.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 15-NOV-2005
Media Type: DVD

Amazon.com

One of the definitive TV shows of the 1970s originally aspired to the dark moral complexity of anthology shows like The Twilight Zone. Even diehard fans will have to admit Fantasy Island fell short of its goal--but that didn't stop it from becoming hugely popular, lasting for seven powerhouse seasons. All the most iconic elements were present from the beginning: Diminutive Tattoo (Herve Villechaize, The Man with the Golden Gun) shouting "De plane! De plane!"; infinitely gracious Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) commanding "Smiles, everyone, smiles," before delivering pages of exposition with his implacable Latin gravitas; the white suits; the tropical island that somehow has all the vegetation and weather patterns in the world; the pageant of celebrities from Jim Backus to Karen Valentine, Barbi Benton to Don Knotts--it all added up to sneakily addictive television. After all, wish-fulfillment--be it a schlub who wants to be irresistible to chicks or kids who want their separated parents to reconcile or a former cheerleading team who want to relive their high school glory days--had a built-in narrative hook, even though the resolution (various versions of "be careful what you wish for") was never in doubt. Almost every episode bubbled over with sex, revenge, ambition, and regret, delivered with a shameless lack of subtlety. Over the course of the first season, the interplay between Montalban and Villechaize--each armed with an intriguing exotic accent--became more and more prominent, with Mr. Roarke becoming increasingly supernatural while Tattoo oozed the mortal sins of greed and lechery. Turn on any episode; you'll find it hard to stop watching, no matter how cheesy or ludicrous the storyline. This four-dvd set includes the original TV movie pilot, its sequel, and the 16 episode first season, as well as a couple of largely bland featurettes enlivened by the occasional barbed comment from executive producer Leonard Goldberg. --Bret Fetzer

When you step out of your seaplane onto the wooden dock at Fantasy Island, you are greeted by charming natives in colorful island garb; they offer you a tropical drink. It is pleasantly warm, palm trees soar high overhead, a white gingerbread house overlooks the scene, your host awaits you at the end of the path; his name is Mr. Roarke . . . .

If you are Mr. Roarke, you have many secrets. You maintain an aura of mystery about you, leaving others guessing: are you a magician; are you superhuman; did you truly know Alexander-the-Great? Sometimes, just a simple word will do ... indeed. You have even managed to mystify your little Cherubic attendant Tattoo . . . .

If you are Tattoo, you take care of many details for Mr. Roarke, most of them are financial; you express your displeasure when he grants a fantasy for free; he chides you for having a cash register for a heart. Mr. Roarke is more than your boss; you are profound friends. Occasionally a guest's fantasy will hit upon one of your favorite fantasies: the pursuit of beautiful, single women . . . .

There was that time, when a guest - before committing to just one woman - wanted to see what it would be like to be irresistible to women. At the end of his fantasy, you absconded with the little bottle of the magic cologne; alas, Mr. Roarke took it away from you. And then, there was that Alaskan pipeline worker, his buddies paid for a fantasy they all shared: to spend a weekend with 2 beautiful women ... Wow!

Note: the Featurette, "Creating the Fantasy", is worth a look. Insight into where ideas, for a great series, comes from.

Picture (DVD): 3.5 to 4+, except for the fuzzy "Return to Fantasy Island." Subtitles: Portuguese & Spanish ( no English.) Languages: the pilot: English only; the "Return to Fantasy Island": English & Spanish; the rest: English, Portuguese & Spanish.

4.0 out of 5 stars An old favorite
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2011

I was excited to see Fantasy Island, and found that the quality of the dvd was good, considering the technology at the time the series was made. I remember being enthralled by this series as a kid, and it is still a fun series to watch, although I can say that the period was decidedly more sexist than today, and the series is a product of its time. I notice things now that I would not have noticed when I first saw it, but if you can take that with a grain of salt, the shows are still neat. It is also neat to see cameos by a lot of stars that became iconic of the era.

I remember this show, and watch it for the nostalgia factor. However, TV viewers have become a lot more sophisticated over the years, and I find that the shows I remember being "great" are a lot cheesier than I remember. A person watching ANY series from this period for the first time may find it a bit simplistic, but this show has the advantage of the incomparable Ricardo Montalban, who pulls off the mysterious, sometimes slightly sinister, Mr. Roarke as no one else could. The fantasies generally run in such a way that the client gets what they NEEDED, but not necessarily what they thought they WANTED, and there is usually a happy ending for them, but the middle can be a bit dark, and the eerie mix of benevolence and (apparent) chilling indifference to the fates of the clients makes the stories much more suspenseful. (Along the lines of:
"Mr. Roarke, you have to get me out of here, I changed my mind!"
"Oh no, Mr. ___, once you the fantasy has begun, there is no way to stop it.">look of polite concern<
"But they're gonna KILL me!"
"Well, then Mr. ___, if you don't find a way to meet their demands, it would appear that you will die..." >professional smile< )
Of course, the back-and-forth with ever-present Tattoo adds the warmth and comedy that keeps you from feeling that Mr Roarke is in any way evil, and lets you know that it will all work out in the end, so the show ends up being a feel-good program.

Sony Pictures listed on their brochure (version 10) of available TV shows on DVD, that "Fantasy Island" Seasons 1 and 2 were produced. This week I noticed that their version 11 now listed only Season 1 as available. I and others are disapponted, especially after reading that Season 2 was produced and ready for sale. Sony, please get it straight! We are waiting patiently for additional seasons of this great show.

When I reflect on classic TV shows other than comedies or "good guy/bad guy" dramas, "Fantasy Island" rates among the very best. Great cast, very well written stories with fresh content each episode. How nice it was to enjoy great programming like this without concern for language and scenes that would require shielding our kids/grandkids from inapproriate content. Also as I viewed Season 1, I remembered the quality guest stars that were hosted. "da plane. da plane!"

Again Sony, please give us the entire series.

UPDATE 4-2-2009: Well it is now over two years since I wrote my review, and STILL waiting for Season 2! I sure hate it when Sony and others produce a Season 1, get us excited that one of our favorite TV series will be revisiting our homes, and then just as our appetites whets for more, our hopes for additional seasons diminish more each year we wait. Look at "Quincy, ME"; it has takem 3+ years for Season 3 to be announced. C'mon studios, this is like tempting a dinner guest with a great steak dinner, and then after their 1st fork-full, snatching their plate away.

Bon... c'est clairement un peu kitsch après plus de 40 ans mais ça rappelle de bons souvenirs d'enfance à petit prix. En effet, un épisode en VO et parfois une ou deux scènes dont la doublure en français est remplacée par un sous-titrage mais pas de quoi baisser une note, d'autant plus que c'est bien noté sur les synopsis du DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb entertainment, fantastic nostalgia, great value
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 13, 2011

I purchased this DVD as I loved Fantasy Island when I was a nipper.What a buy it has turned out to be. On Disc 1 of four, it kicks off with the pilot, before moving on to a Fantasy Island TV movie and then to Episode 1 of the first series proper.There are 14 episodes in total in the first series (plus the afore mentioned pilot and TV movie). At the price on Amazon then, it's an absolute steal.
I have also found that the stories are even better than I remember. There is suspense, tension and mystery galore, plus a pinch of spookyness and a good sprinkle of humour. Of course, some of the special effects and so on are not as swish as they would be today but then this is a series from the 70s so I don't think we should judge too harshly on that score.
I read somewhere that due to a lack of sales of this set, Sony have abandoned plans to release further series of this wonderfully entertaining show, which I believe, is a great shame
If you were a fan at the time, you know what to expect and won't be disappointed, certainly not at the bargain price of just over a fiver - think, you could easily spend that much on a cup coffee and a bar of chocolate.The question is, what would you rather have ? Calories and caffeine or a trip to Fantasy Island.....I think we both know the answer. Mr Rourke and Tattoo certainly do.
