Trivia
Michael Bollner who played Augustus Gloop lived in Munich were the filming took place. He used to change at his home in the morning then turn up for filming. He also couldn't speak English and had to be coached on his lines, this meant it was hard for him to bond with the other kids in the cast. See more...
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) - 56 mistakes
Directed by Mel Stuart, starring Gene Wilder, Jack Albertson, Julie Dawn Cole, Peter Ostrum, Roy Kinnear (add more)
Continuity: When Willy Wonka presses the button for the Spectacular Gum Making Machine, all of it's gears and parts and contraptions start working. In one shot, a tray of a pale white chunky substance is covered by a lid. As the lid lifts off of the tray, the pale white chunks are now bright colors. You can see where the cut in the shot was made for them to replace the first tray with the second tray. There is a slight jump in the position of the lid and the misty fog in the shot changes in the same instant.
Continuity: When Charlie is first seen walking up to the gates of the Wonka factory there are just the street sounds. Then suddenly the "Tinkerer" (the guy with the knife cart) gives the dissertation about fear of little men (a poem of some sort) then proceeds to leave clanking and clattering on the cobble stone street. He should have either been visible on the first shot of Charlie as he walked up to the gates or heard as he approached later on to give his dissertation.
Continuity: When Charley visits his mother at the Laundry, he sits down at the washing bowl. When you see Charley from behind you can see the big wooden spoon sticking out of the bowl. When the shot turns to the front of Charley, he is stirring the laundry with the spoon. In the next shot of Charley from behind the spoon is in the exact same spot as previously - it hasn't moved.
Audio problem: When Mr. Wonka bites into a teacup at the end of the song of the room with the Chocolate River, you hear a crunching sound, yet it looks like he has to "tear" the cup a bit. How can he crunch on somethng that requires him to tear at it? [In an interview, Gene Wilder stated the cup was made out of wax - not excusing the mistake, but in case anyone was wondering...]
Continuity: When Grandpa Joe gives Charlie the candy bar bought with the tobacco money, Joe pulls it out, holding it at the top right and bottom left corners. When the shot cuts to Charlie and he says "Grandpa, that money was for tobacco." you see Grandpa Joe in the foreground of the shot, and his right hand has moved from the top right corner to the lower half of the candy bar. When the shot cuts back, his hands are as they were before, on the top right and bottom left corners of the candy bar.
