Rescue from Gilligan's Island

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.

Question: How did Honolulu know that it was the castaways on that boat hut so fast? How did all those people get to greet them get there so fast?

Answer: When the Coast Guard chopper found them they radioed ahead, that they found the castaways that went missing all those years ago.

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.
