Summary: Absolutely Horrible...
Review: I have been a fan of Gilligan's Island for the last 30 years and when I finally received this DVD, I thought it was the next best thing to sliced bread. I was wrong though... As is stated by other customers here, the editing was absolutely horrible. A lot of the scenes were cut and it just ruined the whole movie. I gave it two stars because it is always good to see the cast of Gilligan's Island perform and this specific DVD did them no justice whatsoever. Shame on you to dishonor those actors and actresses that made Gilligan's Island as famous as it is today...

Summary: Nice
Review: I ordered this video from a video store last year. It is a very nice movie. As a huge Gilligan's Island Fan, I was anxious to see it.There are only a few problems, I'm not gonna say the story line because I don't wanna give anything away but these are just a few problems with the tape: #1. The color isn't very good. It is very light sometimes. But, I mean, what can you expect it was converted onto VHS from a rv movie from 1978. and #2. There was one scene completely missing. When I saw this on TV the Skipper was talking about a Xmas Reunion. Then later they show t he boat decorated with Christmas lights and them talking. They decide to go on a boat ride the next day. But on the vhs, skipper did talk about the reunion but it never happened. It just cut right to the scene where they're going for the boat ride. I'm mean these are no biggies, because it is better than nothing, and I enjoy the tape very much. I love it. Even though I hear the DVD is really bad, I think I might buy it to see if it has this deleted scene on it. You should buy this, just be aware of these few things. :)

Summary: great movie bad bad dvd
Review: i rate the movie four stars and the dvd 1 star. my opinion is you get what you paid for. this dvd is a cheap price because the movie is very poor quality. there is one scene where a icecream cone just appears in gilligan's hands out of nowhere. even people who never seen this movie can tell where the scenes are CUT OUT.

Summary: Don't waste your money. Definitely NOT remastered!
Review: I saw all the bad reviews here, and because of Amazon's confusing policy of posting reviews for ALL the various DVD editions of a particular movie together on the same page, I thought that they must all be referring to the older version that sells for 5 bucks.
When I read Amazon's description for the new 2004 edition released by Westlake Entertainment Group, it said "Format: Original recording remastered, Color, Digital Sound". So I thought this must be a new version nobody had dared to try out yet due to all the negative reviews, and went ahead and forked out the extra 10 bucks to try it.
Well, I'm here to warn you that about the only thing accurate about Amazon's description is that the movie is in colour (faded, yellowed, scratched colour, yes). Although the DVD package claims it has Dolby, the sound is terribly muffled and clearly NOT Dolby quality at all. And NOWHERE on the package does it say anything about being remastered. I don't know where Amazon got this crazy idea, because this company obviously has never even heard of the word "remastered". The picture quality is terrible and the film itself is in very lousy shape.
As for the movie, although it's a key piece in the Gilligan story, unfortunately the writing really drags. You'll find yourself wanting to hit the fast-forward a lot. And with the exception of Mary Ann and maybe Mrs. Howell, it seems that in the intervening years the others have gotten out of practice and forgotten how to act, as they deliver their lines in a very lame and flat way. I found myself missing the brilliant non-stop comedic punch of the original series, as a lot of the comedy here instead seems very awkward and forced, and just falls on its face. Also there is a new Ginger, and while she does do a pretty good job of looking the part, she hasn't mastered Tina Louise's breathy, sexy way of delivering the lines.
So overall I feel like I wasted a lot of good money on a garbage-quality DVD of a very lame movie I probably won't want to watch again. Over the past year I've been stung so many times by el cheap-o outfits putting out shoddy DVDs like this that I am getting so fed up I'm seriously thinking of stopping buying DVDs altogether! I think the industry has got to start setting some standards for quality and policing itself or something. The situation right now is ridiculous! Till then, all we can do is withhold our hard-earned $$$.
So anyway, you have been warned, so don't let them rip YOU off this time too!

Summary: Fun reunion movie
Review: I saw this reunion TV-movie when it was first broadcast on NBC in 1978. I recently bought the first-season "Gilligan" DVD set, and my young son has long been curious about how the castaways finally got off the island. So when I came across this entry for five bucks, I couldn't resist. The Amazon.com customers' complaints that are already posted here are quite valid. The movie's DVD version is indeed poorly edited, and the generic DVD "extras" are nothing to write home about. On the plus side, if you're a bonafide "Gilligan" fan, there's enough first-class silliness to justify watching this, even for a second time. The characters are still true to their one-note origins, and even though spoilsport Tina Louise is replaced by the lesser Judith Baldwin, she looks darned good wet. Who are you kidding? Fork over the five bucks and indulge your inner child!

Summary: Great show, lousy dvd authoring.
Review: Its too bad this great made-for-tv movie looks so bad on dvd. The picture quality is amazingly terrible. It looks like it was taped from a tv using a coathanger for a reception arial instead of cable. I kid you not! Its really that bad! I just saw RFGI broadcast on cable tv not to long ago and it looked 150% better than the DVD does. I know the source material is old, but thats just ridiculous. Unfortunatly, its a must-buy for Gilligan's Island fans, especially at this price! The DVD also has a bonus Little Rascals short 'Spooky Hooky', which has its own quality issues, but I wont go into that...
