I have an VHS tape of this which I recorded off late-night TV, but the film itself is grainy in quality, not my tape. It is an intricately plotted horror-mystery which will keep you guessing until the last scene. It's great to see "The Skipper" (Alan Hale) from Gilligan's Island and "Mr. Carlson" (Gordon Jump) from the TV comedy WKRP acting together. The lead actor is an unknown but does very well as the perplexed young protagonist. It's nicely paced and it's never obvious who the killer is. Interestingly, the last time I re-watched this movie was the very night Gordon Jump died. I hope this film will come out on DVD because many horror and mystery fans will enjoy it. If your idea is seeing some old television stars on their last leg of their career is appealing to you, then enjoy yourself. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time. Guy hacks up people for body parts, apparently for money, Who knows and/or who cares? Plus, you never find out who the killer is! The movie just ENDS! GIVE ME A BREAK Terrible acting, rotten dialogue and just too painful for me to describe anymore.<BR/><BR/>It had to happen. "Rescue From Gilligan's Island" was such a ratings smash that the network executives had to milk some more money out of it. In fact, these reunion movies probably started the entire business of converting old television shows into big-budget movies. Still, the movie does harken back to the series, but unfortunately it stays there rather than going to the next level. On a whole, the movie is a wonderful if not slightly askew bit of nostalgia, but the only audience for it are the fans of the original series, and little kids who will love the inane humor.<BR/><BR/>One of the main things that caught my attention was the fact that Tina Louise (Ginger) wasn't included in the movie (this was a complete letdown). Although Judith Baldwin was an o.k. look alike (only from certain angles) she tried to hard to be Tina Louise, which really took away from the character. I however will say this it is not easy to replace such a person so good job at doing your best Judith (props to Judith) <BR/><BR/>One of the things that made the original so good was that you had this sane character Andy Travis coming into what is essentially a nut house and becoming one of the nuts. But with this new one there are too many sane people who work at the station and also it centers around Carlson, Les Nesman and Herb Tarlick. While they were a bit off center in the old show they weren't the main characters. On this one they were and somehow without Jennifer to play off of Herb and Carlson to play off of Andy and Nesman to play off of everybody, it just doesn't work. Plus the original just had a great cast that that seemed to click. My advice would be to buy the original on DVD and try to forget this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030012.post-1140559102421812812006-02-21T16:58:00.000-05:002006-02-21T16:58:00.000-05:00Thats the way I see it, too.

I only wish that William Frawley (Fred of I Love Lucy, also Uncle Charley from My Three Sons) had been the mayor of the town or something. That would have been the trifecta.Guy Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225310027801357310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030012.post-1140558804014202192006-02-21T16:53:00.000-05:002006-02-21T16:53:00.000-05:00Alan Hale was the bigger star.

I would have to say Hale since he appeared in more projects and Gilligan's Island is certainly one of the most recognizable programs ever on TV. <BR/><BR/>What do you think?Guy Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225310027801357310noreply@blogger.com
