There were several close calls a few years ago, but were stopped by Buffy Summers, in what was then Sunnydale, CA (which isn't there any more).
This was documented on TV.

I understand that not all of these historical documents are absolutely to be relied upon. For more information you may want to consult the 1999 documentary film Galaxy Quest, which goes into the issue in some detail.

IIRC it was not Gilligan but Days of our Lives Gwen was reffering to (terrific movie, BTW). |
I got that from IMDB, and it jibes with my own recollection. |
If I look it up on IMDB it clearly states the quote referenced "Gilligan's Island", and that's very much how I remember it too.
I've noticed IMDB has been getting more region specific the past year - I see a UK rating now next to the film title at the top of each movie screen. Perhaps this is one of those occasions where the movie was adapted for different markets, and IMDB is reflecting this as well.
Back in "the old days" my future wife and I had an argument about a similar scene from Back to the Future. She swore that the Delorean had to reach 140 and I was equally sure it was 88. Well, it was 140Km/h vs 88mph ... she saw it in Germany while I had seen it in the UK.
