Trivia
- Jim Backus' real life wife Henny Buckus guest stars as the Chief's wife.
- Despite the Professor saying the natives' dialect is spoken on only a few islands to the southwest of them, he appears to have a command of the language.
- There seems to be no consistency to the pronoucing of Haruki's name. It is pronounced Haruki by the Chief and Professor repeatedly at the start. When Ginger comes on to Haruki he says his name is Haruka, which Ginger then starts using. After Haruki is knocked out by the coconuts the Chief and his wife call him Haroki. In the final moments the Professor starts calling him Hiroki!
Quotes
- Skipper: I am not marrying that fat native girl!
Gilligan: Well you're not so skinny yourself.
Skipper: [Groan]
Gilligan: What I mean is maybe on your honeymoon you go on a diet together.
