"Cast Away" Was Featured in a Parody
This film, "Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls," is an unauthorized parody of "Miss Congeniality," "Cast Away," and "Jurassic Park," and stars none other than Michael Jackson in his last scripted role. Beauty pageant contestants crash on an island and Fox wasn't happy about the blatant "Cast Away" rip. The filmmaker was hurled several cease and desist letters, but he claimed that no one would really pick up the film unless he changed the title anyways.
