Product Description

When a decaying Russian satellite crashes on the island, the Professor uses a key component for a barometer. With that device, he learns that a massive wave is going to swamp the island. In desperation, the castaways lash their huts together into one structure in order to have any chance to ride the disaster out. The wave strikes the island and the hut is swept out to sea. Once there, Gilligan accidents starts a fire trying to cook a meal and nearly burns the floating hut down. Occupied with stopping the fire, the gang fails to notice that the smoke caught the attention of a naval helicopter who summoned a ship to rescue the castaways. In triumph, they return to Hawaii, only to learn that things have changed over the years and they will have trouble fitting in. To further complicate matters, two Russian spies are after that the key component that Gilligan now wears as necklace.

depressing
i love the series. this is not worthy as an episode. very insulting to character after such series development on characters. No Ginger. No fun. Bob Denver deserved so much better of a series sendoff.

Rescue from Gilligan's Island
If you are a fan of the show (and I am) you will probably enjoy this movie. The absence of Tina Louise in the role of Ginger Grant is amply filled by actress Judith Baldwin, the rest of the cast is exactly as in the original series. They all look a little older but considering Natalie Schafer was 78 (13 years older than Jim Backus who was suffering from Parkinson's disease), Alan Hale Jr. at 57 was still grand as the Skipper, and of course Bob Denver at 43 was still bumbling around and frustrating the Skipper, who else could ever be the Skipper or Gilligan! Just to show you how big fan I am, I also have a copy of the sequel to this "The Castaways on Gilligan's Island" which was done in 1979, I recorded it to VHS in 1979 and have since transferred it to DVD, ditto with the third and last TV movie "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island" released in 1981. In this last of the TV movies a new character Thurston Howell IV played by David Ruprecht. This was due to the failing health of Jim Backus who only made a Cameo appearance in the final scene, I think he had less than 2 minutes of face time and he really did not look well. Those Harlem Globetrotters really get around, they even made two movies with Scooby-Doo and those meddling kids in 1972 in the Saturday morning cartoon series "The New Scooby-Doo Movies". That's it for now - hope you enjoy the movie Little Buddy. SBJ

This movie is funny and well done...
This movie "Rescue from Gilligans Island" is also well done and it is also funny and in this movie the Castaways have to get used to being on the mainland again after being rescued and Gilligan does his usual stuff and gets them all into more stuff and they have quite some adventures in this movie and it is indeed funny and witty I am sure you and your family will enjoy it.
