Visible crew/equipment: As Mary Ann discovers she's blowing bubbles as she talks, you can see part of the device just to the left of her neck, and the bubbles can be seen coming from beside her left cheek.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: The compound of huts seems to be very close to the beach, as the Professor, Skipper and Gilligan look out and can see it. Other times, it's a fair distance away through the jungle and obscured.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: As the camera is close up on the radio, Mary Ann's hand is down on the table. In the wide shot, it's suddenly up holding a fork.

Revealing mistake: When Gilligan is lifting the Skipper in the lounge chair, you can see the wires used to raise the chair up when the camera is close up on the Skipper.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Other mistake: The book the professor is supposedly reading radiation information from has an odd decoration on the cover over the title. It is actually technical manual TM 9-729 for the M24 Chaffee Light Tank.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: When the camera is in wide shot of the table scene where everybody fainted at the Professor's announcement, he has the book at belt level. In the close up, he has it at chest height.

Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Other mistake: The spot where the coconut Gilligan tosses goes through is rounded, the suddenly squared in the close up. The wall in general is differently colored than the rest of the hut.

Audio problem: As Gilligan gets up to lift the stool he was sitting on, we hear the sound of wood scraping on the floor, but it's on sand.
The Producer - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Harold Hecuba (a.k.a. H.H.) goes out to change costumes. When he comes in as Ophelia the stage door first closes behind him, then falls off the hinges. The shot cuts to the Castaways, then back to H.H., and the door is back on the hinges.
Continuity mistake: Between the time the Professor is put into the trance and waking up, his mouth mouth goes from agape, and head turned to the left, to mouth closed, facing forward.
Continuity mistake: The professor is put under a trance, referred to as "zombiefied." When it first happens, the professor is looking to his left. Later on, he's looking straight ahead.
Revealing mistake: Near the end of the episode, all the castaways are passed out cold when Lord Beasley finally catches his butterfly. Right after saying the line "That's the trouble with you Americans - you simply don't know how to hold your tea" as he's exiting off camera, Mrs. Howell starts to open her eyes slightly, but then quickly shuts them again. Perhaps she thought the cameras stopped rolling.
Other mistake: On the beginning, the butterfly Beasley calls the Pussycat Swallowtail is yellow. Later it's orange. Also, when Beasley holds the cage with the painted butterfly, you can see the wires making the puppet move.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow - S3-E8
Revealing mistake: After Skipper goes bald, you can see the line of the skin wig on him.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Balinkoff shows Gilligan the control computer, it is off, but Gilligan is under control. A moment later, it is on.
Answer: Hungarian-to-English translation aside, Erika's log-book entries were utterly meaningless. When the radio interviewer expresses confusion, Erika even reads entries from the log: "You take a left at a big, beautiful, pink tropical flower, then pull over and park," and "After the storm, we backed up and made a U-turn," etc. Her directions were scatterbrained, to put it nicely. Additionally, Erika's yacht was forced to leave the island during a tropical storm, and they lost their bearings for several days before the Navy found them. Given that Erika was such a scatterbrain, we might also assume that she didn't hire the most competent yacht crew, either.
