BLOOPERS AND OTHER SILLINESS

HERE'S A LIST OF A BUNCH OF BLOOPERS AND SILLINESS THAT MADE IT INTO THE MOVIE!!

There's a LOT more than this list...
If you know of any others, please tell us!!

Why is Dorothy perfectly clean after having fallen into a pig sty?
"Over the Rainbow" seems to have been put together from at least two different takes. After a cut down to Toto, Dorothy's make-up is subtly different.
What kind of flowers are on the wallpaper in Dorothy's room? Poppies.
The backdrop behind Professor Marvel's caravan was reused as the backyard of Tara where Ashley is splitting logs in "Gone with the Wind."
During the cyclone, Dorothy's bed spins around, but the table and linens by the window stay perfectly still.
When Glinda's bubble arrives, Dorothy's hand sticks into it for a brief moment.
As the Munchkins "Come out, come out," wherever they are, one climbs out of a manhole. Later, however, the manhole is nowhere to be seen. Also, some of the doors are even shorter than the Munchkins, and the actors have to duck to get in and out of the houses.
The death certificate of the Wicked Witch of the East tells that the Witch died on May 6th, 1938 -- nineteen years to the day after L. Frank Baum died. (This can't be read by watching The Movie, only in publicity stills.)
Terry must have been freaked out by the Witch's entrance, because Toto runs off and hides among the Munchkins. Dorothy has to leave Glinda's side on the steps and go get the dog.
In the Munchkin city scene, a few "Munchkins" scream before the Witch comes blazing in with her red smoke. ESP, I think not! :o) - Contributed by: Nmyph##@****.com - THANKS!!
Note Dorothy's pigtails as she leaves Munchkinland and meets the Scarecrow. They keep growing and shrinking about six inches throughout the scene!
At the end of "If I Only Had a Heart," the oilcan bounces out of Dorothy's basket, and she never gets a chance to retrieve it. Good thing she has a spare in the next scene...
Not far from the Tin Man's cottage, in the background, you can see another Oz character, the Sawhorse (first introduced in "The Marvelous Land of Oz").
Right after the Wicked Witch disappears from atop the cottage, somehow the Tin Man is reversed (look at the ring on his funnel hat) and everything is fuzzy. Because the beehive sequence was edited out, this part of the scene was reversed and processed from the wrong side so as to keep the three characters in the correct order throughout.
When Dorothy first meets the Lion, Judy Garland had a TERRIBLE time not cracking up at Bert Lahr's antics. Even in the take used in the finished film, she nearly loses it before blurting out, "My goodness, what a fuss you're making."
In several scenes, the fishline holding up the Lion's tail is visible.
In the Emerald City, the purple version of the Horse of a Different Color seems to be trying its darnedest to lick the color off (the horses were all colored with Jell-O).
In getting their makeovers, the Tin Man, who's been rusty all this time, is now well polished, the Lion gets a permanent and a bow for his mane, and Dorothy gets not only a new hairstyle, but a subtly more puffed up dress.
During this sequence, they wrap the rug around him and break a flowerpot with the ax to make his crown. After a few minutes, the lion turns quickly and the crown falls off, the only problem is, it bounces.
The guardian at the gates of the palace has his mustache turned up when our friends approach him -- but then it suddenly turns down.
During "King of the Forest," Bert Lahr can be heard singing after the instrumental bridge, even though the Lion's mouth isn't moving right away. Neat trick, that. Also, his "crown" in the close-ups is different than the one placed on his head in a long shot. Oh, and Dorothy trips on the red carpet.
Climbing the rocks to the Witch's castle, the Tin Woodman hangs on to the Lion's tail at one point -- where you can see the outline of a board or something reinforcing the Lion's costume. The Lion looks like he has a square bottom.
After rescuing Dorothy from the room the Witch has trapped her in, our friends try to leave the castle, only to have the door slam in their faces. In the long shot, the order is (from left to right) the Scarecrow, Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Lion. But when the scene cuts to a close-up, Dorothy and the Tin Man have mysteriously swapped places. (One sharp-eyed correspondent noticed a similar switch in the Wizard's throne room.)
When the Scarecrow chops down the chandelier in the Witch's castle, the candles blow out. But only moments later, the candles are lit again.
When Dorothy first takes the Witch's broomstick, the burnt bristles are all ragged and uneven. But it looks like they've had some time to trim and straighten them by the time they give it to the Wizard.
How does the Wizard's balloon leave so easily after Toto chases that cat? The Tin Woodman is undoing the ropes! (Maybe this is his way of telling Dorothy to give back his oil can, since she still has it as she's about to leave.)
