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.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: While Mrs. Howell cleans the hut at maximum speed, the book Mr. Howell reads changes position as the scene cuts.
Continuity mistake: As Rodriguez goes back to Ginger, the Skipper straightens his hat. In the closer shot, Skipper straightens his hat again. (00:09:55)
Continuity mistake: As Mr. Howell tells his story, the table Ginger is on rocks to the point the canteen beside her falls off. A second later, she's drinking out of it.
Visible crew/equipment: As the camera looks at Skipper and Gilligan, after the tossing of the sail, the edge of the studio tank is visible for a few seconds in the background.
Continuity mistake: After the shark bites Gilligan's paddle and he holds it up, the amount of wood between the handle's connection and the bite differs from shot to shot.
Factual error: The portable radio is an AM band only, therefore there is no need for the external telescoping FM antenna.
Other mistake: As the girls are trying to land their catch, the Skipper comes by and starts to help. Although he was walking by, when he starts to help, his pants legs are already wet from previous takes.
Good Night Sweet Skipper - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: At the end, when Gilligan is holding to gourd up, chasing a fly, the lines of the cut out spot for the final gag are visible.
Revealing mistake: The beam the Skipper wants Gilligan to work on is six feet, but if you look carefully, the beam is already pre-cut.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode when everyone is listening to the radio the professor is shown standing up and in the next shot is sitting down. (00:02:50)
Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode when the Skipper wakes up on the boat this scene is actually from the original pilot, as you can see the 3 different actors that played the part of the professor, Ginger, and Mary Ann. (00:01:20)
Suggested correction: The original actors ARE shown, true. However their characters slightly differred in the original pilot. They were known as a high school teacher, Ginger, and Bunny.
Continuity mistake: While the castaways are standing around while their clothes dry, Mary Ann is not wearing any shoes. As the scene continues she is shown standing wearing black shoes. (00:05:00 - 00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: When the SS Minnow is shown beached on the deserted island, it's seen leaning on its left. At the ending credits, the Minnow is shown completely upright.
You've Been Disconnected - S2-E17
Character mistake: Upon learning after the storm that the telephone cable was washed back out to sea, the Professor mentions the cable will eventually corrode and break and the Skipper says then a repair crew will have to come out and fix the cable so they'll be rescued. How? The cable is out to sea and a repair crew would never even get to the island since the cable's not there.
The Hunter - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Gilligan advises Kincaid that there's no game on the island. This contradicts an earlier episode in the same season where the castaways spotted a wild boar roaming the island (episode "Where There's a Will").
