Trivia

  • At the end of the episode, Gilligan carves a Voodoo doll of the Witch doctor despite not having seen him and sticking it with a pin out of revenge. At that moment, the witch doctor screams grabbing his posterior and swims off the island as fast as he can. This scene has been removed from the syndicated version of the episode.
  • Eddie Little Sky (The Witch Doctor) appeared previously as Haruki in Gilligan's Mother-in-Law.
  • The Professor claims the native relics are reminiscent of the Mayans of Central America which typically would not be found on a South Pacific island.
  • The Witch Doctor ends up with Gilligan's rabbit's foot which was supposedly sent to Hawaii in the robot. He also ends up with Mr. Howell's wallet which was also supposedly taken by the Mr. Howell Imposter in Will the Real Mr. Howell Please Stand Up?.
  • The Voodoo doll props in this episode are now the property of Sherwood Schwartz, having appeared behind him in several interviews about the series.
