Club Paradise is a 1986 American comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and starring Robin Williams, Twiggy, Peter O'Toole and Jimmy Cliff.

Set in a fictional Caribbean banana republic, it follows a group of vacationers' attempts to create a luxury resort from a seedy nightclub, and the series of events that take place.

Voit Zerbe plays a key role, as a developer who wants to force Jack and Ernest from their property so that he can build a massive high-end casino on the beach, as part of a deal that he is making with two business partners.

Jack and Ernest board Zerbe's yacht to provide some "useful intelligence" for Governor Hayes, by finding out what is going to happen to the future of Saint Nicholas.

Ernest builds up a resistance force, and St. Nicholas is soon threatened with the possibility of civil war, which is averted at the last minute with assistance from Jack and Governor Hayes.

[7] The titular "Club Paradise" was a set constructed on Winifred Beach in Portland Parish, while other scenes were shot in the city of Port Antonio.

[5] Bill Murray turned down the film's lead role, which was eventually given to Robin Williams; his brother, Brian Doyle-Murray, ended up in the cast instead.

"[15] Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader wrote, "Moranis and Levy get most of the laughs as a pair of geeky business partners desperately on the make for beach bunnies; Williams is saddled with a lot of soggy insult humor that doesn't really let him show his gifts.

"[17] Peter O'Toole's performance in the film earned a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jerome Benton for Under the Cherry Moon.
