Other mistake: When Mrs. Howell looks at the lion in the mirror, the image is not reversed as it should be when the camera looks directly at the lion.
Gilligan's Living Doll - S2-E21
Revealing mistake: Watch the window on the barrel used as a washer. It looks to be somebody inside wiping the glass to simulate clothes washing.
Revealing mistake: In the closing credits of Seasons 2 and 3, after the camera pulls back to look at the castaways on the beach of the lagoon, in the upper left corner of the shot you can see the roofline and corner of a building.
Other mistake: In the opening scene, and later, the camera shows the Howells' hut, but the scene is in Skipper and Gilligan's hut.
Don't Bug the Mosquitoes - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: As Gilligan plays the drums, he shakes his head wildly, and the shades fly off. A moment later as they finish their song, Gilligan knocks over a drum, and it's up in the next shot.
Castaways Pictures Presents - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: At the end of the filming, the Professor is drawing a line down the east coast of the United States on the board. When watching the film, the line is missing at the end.
Castaways Pictures Presents - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: After Mary Ann drops the basket, two pieces of fruit pop out of it. When Gilligan goes to pick it up, he picks up several pieces.
Castaways Pictures Presents - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: As Thurston calls cut, in the wide shot Gilligan stops and his spear dips with the tip down. In the closeup, Gilligan is now holding the spear straight up by his side.
Gilligan's Living Doll - S2-E21
Audio problem: As the Skipper is talking about respect, watch his lips. You can see him say boat, but you hear ship.
Castaways Pictures Presents - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: The amount of rope around Mary Ann varies between shots.
Gilligan Goes Gung-Ho - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: In the final scene when the Skipper has Gilligan in jail, he is holding the law book in front of him. The shot changes and he is now holding it by his side.
Beauty Is as Beauty Does - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: They used a standard electric phonograph. Later on, the phonograph is a bamboo and wood device with a ship's wheel as the turntable. It had to be cranked like the old Victrolas to work.
Good Night Sweet Skipper - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: In the end scene, as Gilligan chases the bug, trying to quiet it, you can see the lines in the gourd where the hole will be after he hits Skipper with it.
Revealing mistake: As the gale force wind lifts Gilligan, you can see the outline of the harness under his clothes and can make out the wires holding him up.
Continuity mistake: In this episode, the damage to the boat is different than seen in "Two on a Raft." Also, there was a vessel number on the bow of the boat that is absent in this episode.
Revealing mistake: When the shark takes a second bite of the raft, you can see the bite before it's taken.
Continuity mistake: When Skipper tries on the sheet to teach Gilligan not to be scared, we see him putting it on and it is solid white. However, when Gilligan says he isn't scared he says it is because a "ghost doesn't wear a sheet that says S.S. Minnow on it." Now the sheet has wording on it. (00:08:45)
Other mistake: Where Gilligan is yelling to everyone "Don't get on the minnow, the glue won't hold!" you can see a pack of Chesterfield cigarettes sticking out of his left front pants pocket.
Little Island, Big Gun - S1-E18
Visible crew/equipment: Gilligan shoots a bag of money in a tree with an arrow. As the money falls to the ground you can see a fan in the lower left corner of the screen aimed up towards the tree.
Other mistake: When the headhunter is about to chop a tree Gilligan is behind, he yells. The actor has metal fillings in his teeth. Headhunters would not likely have a dentist.
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.
