Big Man on a Little Stick - S1-E22
Factual error: In the beginning of the episode, Gilligan is fishing. He catches a freshwater trout in a 'saltwater' lagoon.
Will the Real Mr. Howell Please Stand Up? - S2-E26
Continuity mistake: After building a sandcastle, Gilligan goes to talk with Mr. and Mrs. Howell. When the three go to the spot where the sandcastle was, it is gone. Instead, there is a log, which Gilligan trips over.
Continuity mistake: When the imposter Gilligan is playing chess with Mr. Howell, the long shots show the imposter holding the spoon transmitter near the center of the table the chess board is on, whereas the close-ups show the transmitter close to the edge of the table.
Revealing mistake: After Gilligan lies down on his hammock, there is an "X" in the sand where actor Alan Hale, Jr. stands. Obviously it is the mark where Hale is supposed to stand, and he does stand there as he speaks to Bob Denver.
Continuity mistake: After the earthquake the skipper is holding the idol with both hands. The shot changes and only one hand is holding the idol.
Little Island, Big Gun - S1-E18
Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning of the episode when Ginger comes out of the hut the shadow of the boom mic is visible on the hut.
Visible crew/equipment: Outside the Howell's hut as the castaways ready to leave the island, the shadow of a boom mike enters the upper left side of the scene twice.
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.
Visible crew/equipment: When Gilligan puts the Skipper down, you can see the wires attached to the corners of the lounge seat.
The Friendly Physician - S2-E29
Continuity mistake: After Skipper admonishes Gilligan for his suggestion, Balinkoff says "No, no", and starts to gesture with his right hand. After the angle change, he starts to gesture again.
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.
Continuity mistake: In the hut, "Gilligan" has the spoon of his transmitter knife open so his commander can hear the conversation. In the wide angle shots, the spoon is half way out. In the close ups, it's fully in position.
Ship Ahoax - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: The Professor is under the table which has a cloth positioned so he can't be seen. However, in the shots of him, you can see the background, and nobody's feet or the cloth.
Visible crew/equipment: When Gilligan is packing, Skipper sneezes and blows out the candle. The third time, Gilligan blocks the candle, and if you watch the right side of the screen, you see the tip of somebody's nose pop into the scene as he blows out the candle.
Continuity mistake: In the opening credits, the boat used as the Minnow changes. It goes from having an upper steering deck, to flat topped and different colored, and back.
Revealing mistake: When Skipper is blindfolded, as he rears back getting ready to sneeze, watch his right shoulder. You can see the line that pulls the blind off when he sneezes.
Revealing mistake: When Skipper is sneezing after Gilligan showered, he turns towards the wardrobe. As he sneezes, in a "blink and you miss it" moment, the line pulling up the bottom of the green cloth is momentarily visible, pulling from the upper right corner of the screen.
Chosen answer: It looks like a mistake to me I see it when the Professor is put into a trance, but it is not there later.
