Some of the best episodes concerned the native head hunters! You have to admit, the costumes and makeup were positively outrageous! These wild guys ran around the place, shaking their fists and shouting all kind of stuff and we kids ate it all up.
That's part of this episode, though it also involves frightened Gilligan running smack into a tree --causing him to see everything in double. The professor naturally gets into the mix with a berry cure that results in Gilligan now seeing triple???
I agree with the last reviewer that the goofier the ideas... actually made for some classic episodes. So true.
What to do? Simply serve the berry potion to the headhunters that will mess up their vision! Not a bad plan. Of course, the big gag here is just seeing duplicates of Ginger and Maryann throughout the story, right? And do not forget all the fancy wardrobe changes.
Well directed by Gary Nelson, the master of comedy who we lost last year (2022), best known for GET SMART and also the PATTY DUKE SHOW.
Special note to the head hunters; Eddie Little Sky plays the first native, who actually was befriended by Audie Murphy who recommended he get into films. Eddie, who was born on an indian reservation in South Dakota, began his career as a bull and horse rider.
Native number two is noneother than LA rams star quarterback Roman Gabriel, who did some brief acting on the side. Off season, more than likely. Before this episode, he was joined by some of his fellow team mates on an episode of PERRY MASON.
Kooky stuff from SEASON 3 remastered dvd box set.
