    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This movie was planned as a pilot for a possible weekly series similar to "The Love Boat".
    • Goofs
      The backstory over how the WW2 planes and hangar were found was that the tidal wave that hit the island and helped them get off and rescued removed enough brush that they were both exposed. However, there was still enough growth and brush on the planes that needed to be removed, and secondly, in 15 years on a tiny island they would've eventually, sooner or later, have come across them.

    Deserved more respect

    I grew up on Gilligan's Island, so I was incredibly excited when the Rescue movie and the Castways movie was released before the word reboot became ubiquitous. Wonderful to see the gang back. Even though Tina Louise didn't appear in this and the next two reunion movies, ironically she's the last surviving cast member.

    This movie is lots of fun, and it brings back fond memories. It's a shame the network passed on the series option a la The Love Boat.
