Directed by: Robert Zemeckis
Starring: Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, Lari White, Paul Sanchez
Visible crew/equipment: When Chuck is crawling on the floor of the plane to reach the watch, the compartment behind him where the raft was stored, you can see the stairs leading down into the set. (00:23:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When he collects coconuts for the first time if you look in the lower right corner you can see some sort of light flashing, I'm guessing maybe a light meter or possibly a two-way radio that the crew was using.
Continuity mistake: When Chuck first goes over and sees the cave, it changes the camera angle and the sunlight is significantly dimmer and more orange, indicating a sunset.
Chuck Noland: Aha. Look what I've created. I have made FIRE.
Trivia: Production was shut down for a year, to give Tom Hanks enough time to lose weight and grow out his "castaway" beard. During that time, director Robert Zemeckis used the same crew members to help film "What Lies Beneath."
