Synopsis
A hunter named Johnathan Kincaid arrives on The Island with his manservant Ramoo looking for game to hunt when he finds Gilligan. Hearing that there's nothing to hunt on the island, he decides to hunt one of the castaways. Looking over them, he decides thatGinger, Mary Ann and the Howells wouldn't give him much of a challenge and that the Skipper and Professor would be too easy. Gilligan is the only worthy choice. Removing the tubes from the radio in his helicopter to stop the Castaways from calling out, he gives Gilligan 24 hours to elude him, promising to rescue the crew and passengers afterward.
Trivia
- At the end the castaways hear on the radio that after shooting 100% at a trap shoot, Kincaid has a mental breakdown and has to be taken away in a straitjacket to a mental hospital... all the while muttering "Gilligan... Gilligan..."
- This was based on the infamous short story "The Most dangerous Game"
- Harold Sakata was the villainous henchmen Odd-job on James Bond movie "Goldfinger."
- The Helicopter is apparently a Bell 47-the same one used in the The Ape Man and Don't Bug the Mosquitoes episodes. The fantasy aspect of Gilligan's Island being in helicopter range is apparent because in It's a Bird, It's A Plane, the Island is 250 miles south of Hawaii and the range of the Bell 47 is 245 miles!
Quotes
- Gilligan - "You think you get to know someone, and she turns out to be a Beatrice Arnold."
