Other mistake: At the end of the movie, when everybody wonders where they are, Gilligan holds up a piece of wood that says Minnow-1, making everybody realise they are back on the island. The name of the boat was known as the S.S. Minnow, and not Minnow-1.

Other mistake: When Gilligan wakes up and tells everybody his dream, he hums the theme song from the movie Jaws. Nobody left the island yet so there's no way he'd know about the movie or even the music to it.

Suggested correction: The castaways had a radio which always gave them information on the outside world (since being shipwrecked). Although usually the Professor used it the most, Gilligan has been seen in the original series listening to it himself, so he could have heard about the movie (out 3 years before the rescue) while still on the island.

Except that the Professor said that the radio hasn't worked in over ten years so Gilligan humming the theme song to Jaws would be impossible and all other current events wouldn't be known to the others either as they are asking about Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Ginger asking about Watergate thinking it's the last name of a person.

Other mistake: In this movie, after being rescued, the Skipper tells Gilligan they missed the days of miniskirts and Gilligan asks "What are miniskirts?" (As if he's never heard of them). However in the original series, an episode mentioned miniskirts and Gilligan said he can wear "minipants" since Ginger could wear miniskirts. He already should have known what they were.

Revealing mistake: When Gilligan is being pulled around in the water after getting on the hut boat, you can see the superstructure of the walls around the lagoon.

Movie Nut

Revealing mistake: It's quite obvious that the lighting inside the hut they are tying the other huts to, is studio lighting, as candles or torches would have burned out from the storm winds.

Continuity mistake: After the tidal wave hits the island, there is a wide aerial shot of the hut. There is no palm tree tied to the hut, yet after they hear Gilligan yelling, there it is, with Gilligan on it.

Movie Nut

Gilligan: Hey Skipper, why don't you donate your pants? When they fill with air, we can fly to Hawaii.

Trivia: A suggestion was made that the plot for this movie should have Gilligan and the Skipper tracking down and getting even with most of the people who visited the island and never telling anyone about them, and making them stay longer.

Question: Why didn't Tina Louise reprise her role as Ginger?

Answer: She felt the role typecast her and ruined her career. She also demanded a lot of money to reprise the role but was refused and another actress was cast.
