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.
Rescue from Gilligan's Island (1978)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Leslie H. Martinson
Starring: Alan Hale Jr., Jim Backus, Bob Denver, Natalie Schafer
Genres: Comedy
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.
Dean: We're expanding. This will be the biggest university on the west coast.
Professor: But we're on the east coast.
Dean: That's how big I want it to be.
