The Blair Witch Project (1999) - Trading Card #34

A Tale of Castaways

To amuse themselves while huddled inside their tent, the students recalled a common cultural memory: the theme to "Gilligan's Island." Josh accurately sang the lyrics, while Heather compared him to the captain and cast Mike in the role of Gilligan ("I mean that as a compliment"). Josh couldn't resist mentioning that it was the captain, not Gilligan, who was heavy-set; but Mike had the last word, admonishing his "TV illiterate" friends for mislabeling "the skipper" as "the captain."

According to an item on the film's IMDB trivia page, this was the most expensive moment in the entire film. Because the production had to pay for the rights to use the theme for Gilligan's Island. Which version was did they use, though? The one that ended with "...all the rest" or the one the ended with "...the Professor and Mary-Anne."
