Summary: Good Movie / Bad Mastering
Review: The movie itself is really cute and has "re-watchability". My problem with the DVD is the mastering is TERRIBLE. Imagine taking a film made in 1978, transferring it to VHS about 10 years later (without cleaning the film), then taking that same VHS tape 10 years after that and transferring it to DVD; it really looks that bad. In fact, there are messed-up spots on the videotape that weren't cleaned up so you see a replay of creases in the master tape!BTW, the re-cast of Ginger pulled the movie down a star; what a bad actress.

Summary: Rescued From Gilligans Isle!!!!
Review: The rescue from Gilligans Island was one of the best episodes of Gilligans Island (even though it was a reunion show). It had the same antics of each of the castways. Especially Gilligan. When they find out there is a huge storm going to hit the island they build a raft with one of the huts on it. Mrs. Howell -as the storm was approaching- told everyone that they left their dog outside. Gilligan not thinking runs out into the storm to get the dog. As he runs out the door Mrs. Howell remembers she left the dog at home. The castaways believe Gilligan is lost forever until he is found floating behind them. Soon the coast guard finds them they are took back to civilization and go there seperate ways except Gilligan and the Skipper. GIlligan and the skipper want to buy a boat but they cant without the signatures of the other five castaways. They find each castaway and ask them to come to this big party they have for the launching of their boat they take another 3 HOUR TOUR!! Which they get lost at sea again and get stuck on their own island.

Summary: 5 stars for the movie 1 for this DVD pressing
Review: They ruined a great movie.
Like the other reviewers, watching it on cable gives a cleaner/intact version than this dvd. But for a couple of bucks, its ok for a die hard fan. Just wish they would release a box set of all the movies.

Summary: hatchet job
Review: when i saw this movie on tv back in 78 i loved it! they finally got off the island(then back on it even though it sunk-but that's the humer on Gilligan's Island) but, what they did to this movie was terrible. most of the older movies reproduced on DVD they actually improved on. But, this was terrible. not only did they not improve the picture, but, then they cut out a bunch of parts so the movie would skip and jump. for example when Mrs. Howell suddenly remembers Fifi (their dog) Gilligan is quick (as usual) to say i'll get her and then goes running out the door. but, here right after Mrs Howell say's she left Fifi behind you suddenly see the skipper fighting to go outside! they cut Gilligans running out the door followed by the skipper! and the movies goes on skipping from one scene to another so 1/4 of the movie doesn't make sense but so much is missing. the worst cut-up is originally the castaways got together on the Minow II for a christmas reunion where Mr. Howell gives everyone a box of money. But, once again (they) cut the scene out and suddenly it's the next morning with the castaways on the boat ready for another tour, the bad guys(russian spys) are there trying to get the disc Gilligan is wearing and Gilligan mentions the Box of money. unless someone saw the original version they wouldn't even have a clue what Gilligan ment by the box of money.
so i say what a hatchet job they did on this movie and the stupid thing was was there was no reason (...), but, i tell ya if i had know what they did i would never have bought it.

Summary: Neat TV reunion, Poor Quality DVD Transfer!
Review: Yet another poor tape-to-dvd transfer done 'on the cheap'!!
There are several companies selling this 1978 TV film, because Sherwood Schwartz, the 'GILLIGAN' creator obviously doesn't retain the copyright to this Gilligan project!
I'm glad to finally see this reunion TV movie on DVD, but damn, the quality is poor! Yes, it's obviously poorly edited, and I dunno what the deal was to get to show this on DVD! They obviously don't care about the quality! Ok,.... so it only cost me a dollar!!!!
I'm so glad the Gilligan series is finally seeing an 'official' release on DVD!!!! It's an old favorite of mine!
I have found several TV episodes/old TV movies/theatrical films for 1 dollar on DVD, and it's cool to have them even if the quality stinks, but....There is a disturbing trend amongst the 'quickie' DVD manufacturers, and it kinda stinks! They obtain use/rights of old tv shows/movies that have expired copyrights, and then transfer them to DVD's and sell them for next to nothing!
I bought it for a dollar brand new!
Again, why must we endure this assembly line garbage DVD quality?
I feel badly for the producers and artists of the original works. They got ripped off because somebody didn't think these TV shows/TV Movies/Movies were good enough to retain the copyrights so we could see a decent DVD copy of 'em!!!!
Oh well....
So goes the usual money grubbing in the entertainment business!!!!
