Continuity mistake: As Gilligan marches over the cliff, he's wearing Skipper's hat. As he's hanging on the branch, his regular white hat is on his head.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Revealing mistake: When Gilligan tosses the coconut, as it flies past the Skipper, the line it slid on catches the light as it shakes.
Other mistake: Ginger keeps hoping that the play will help her be discovered. But according to what we know, she's already a famous movie star.
Castaways Pictures Presents - S2-E7
Plot hole: During all their filming for their "silent" movie, the castaways are using talking in actual dialog to explain their overall situations on the island, but when played back at the end, it's just showing them all talking sped up without hearing voices being a silent picture. What was the point of them filming then with actual words? They may as well just moved their mouths randomly without actual words coming out. In addition, where did the "music" come from throughout the movie?
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Revealing mistake: After the Professor puts everyone to sleep reading the book, the camera backs up, showing the straight seams of the soundstage floor where the set ends.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: The book the Professor is reading to the others immediately switches from being lower to higher as the scene cuts.
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Revealing mistake: The guide wire used to "throw" the coconut through the hut by Gilligan is visible.
Lovey's Secret Admirer - S3-E19
Other mistake: At the end of the episode when Gilligan is using the lie detector he says "I love spinach." The lie detector said it was a lie. But in the episode "Pass the vegetables please" spinach is his favorite vegetable.
Revealing mistake: As the Professor and Skipper get the test vehicle rocking faster, there are a few times that the metal poles built into the table legs to slide it is visible. Then as Gilligan slides on the table, the channels the poles slid along are visible, and it's obvious that the figure flying out into the men's arms is a dummy.
Continuity mistake: After the vampire's wife (Ginger) unfolds the couch bed, she laughs with her arms down and spread out by her sides, but the next shot shows her hands up by her face, clutching her gown.
The Friendly Physician - S2-E29
Continuity mistake: The color of Ginger's shoes are different once returning to the island at the end of the episode from what she wore on the mad scientist's island.
Plot hole: Many episodes show either visitors on the island swimming away or objects floating away on rafts (a lion, a silent film, etc) that at the end of the episode always make it safely to civilization (as heard on the radio)... yet, none of the castaways ever could swim or leave on a raft to attempt to get off the island and get rescued in the same way.
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.
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.
