Review of Rescue from Gilligan's Island (1978) by Tracey C — 14 Jul 2011

Revealing mistakes: During Gilligan's tow with the sharks, visible on the water are reflections of land and the occasional glimpse of land at the top of the frame.

Continuity: After the castaways become stranded once again on the island, Gilligan finds a piece of wreckage from their original boat. Although the wreckage says Minnow I, the ship they originally shipwrecked on the island in was called the S.S. Minnow.

Revealing mistakes: After the storm and they adrift out in the sea, Mr. Howell falls in the water and the professor jumps in after him, it is obvious Mr. Howell is standing in four feet of water.

Factual errors: All of the products that the Professor tried to invent after being rescued were available on the market before the castaways were first marooned, so he should have known about them. Frisbee was introduced 1950, electric toothbrush in 1960, pantyhose and skateboards in 1959. In fact, Gilligan mentioned wanting a skateboard in an episode of the original show.

Revealing mistakes: At the end of the movie as the seven swim ashore onto the beach of an island lagoon, the cast members are still wearing their hats - clearly impossible after having swam in the ocean a reasonable distance.

Continuity: When the castaways are on their Hut Boat and they decide to make a Sail out of their clothes. They show all of their clothes in the sail and then in the next scene they all have they're clothes on that they made the sail out of.

Revealing mistakes: When Gilligan is being pulled by the shark, while they're in the middle of the ocean, you can clearly see parts of the shoreline and reflections from trees in the water.
