Trivia

Buddy Ebsen was originally slated to play the Scarecrow, with Ray Bolger originally the Tin Woodman; Bolger asked to switch places since his dancing style was much closer to how a scarecrow would dance than to a tin woodsman. See more...

Mistake Audio problem: When Dorothy and the Scarecrow find the apple trees she says, "Oh, look, oh". The overdub is wrong, if you look closely at her mouth when she turns around toward the camera she's actually not saying anything.

Mistake Continuity: As the four go through the green doors to see the Wizard the hallway triples in length between shots.

Mistake Continuity: As Dorothy throws the water on the Wicked Witch the Tin Man goes from holding his ax in front of him to holding it close to his chest with the ax head sideways between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Glinda says, "Let the joyous news be spread the…" the bridge and pond are behind her. In the next shot she's turned around almost facing the pond.

Mistake Continuity: The Wizard shouts, "I can't come back I don't know how it works" and the Scarecrow is on Dorothy's left. In the next shot he's on her right.

Mistake Continuity: As the Wicked Witch walks over to her sister a rocking chair is protruding through the broken window. In the next shot the window frame disappears and it's not a rocking chair anymore that's protruding from the window.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the Wizard says, "Do you presume to criticize the great Oz?" look closely at the curtain as a crew member behind the curtain attaches it onto Toto so he can pull it open.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Dorothy walks around Munchkinland and when we first see the Munchkin's heads popping up the crew's shadow can be seen on the flowers to the right of the screen.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: As the Wicked Witch throws the hour glass down at them the stone statue on the left of the monkey is shaking.

Mistake Continuity: Glinda tells Dorothy, "Their magic must be very powerful…" and Dorothy has her left hand around Toto. In the next shot she's holding the flowers in front of her.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Dorothy asks the Wicked Witch, "What are you gonna do with my dog? and a stage light shines against the painted backdrop outside her window.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: As the talking trees throw their apple's at Dorothy and the Scarecrow, look closely at the upper right hand side of the screen. An off camera crew member is shaking one of the trees back and forth as all of the others stand motionless.

Mistake Continuity: When Dorothy walks on the pig sty Zeke walks to his right, looks into, than passes the bucket on the right because it's empty. He than picks up the bucket behind it on the bench and proceeds to feed the pigs. He empties the first bucket than picks up the second empty bucket, which is now three quarters full.

Mistake Continuity: If you look at Dorothy's dress, it's wet before she throws the water on the Wicked Witch. In the next shot the water spot (on Dorothy's dress) disappears only to return later when she gets the broomstick.

Mistake Continuity: Just before the Wicked Witch leaves Munchkinland she says to Dorothy, "just try to stay out of my way" and her broomstick is facing upwards. In the next shot it's facing downwards.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Dorothy lands in Oz and exits the house to Munchkinland, the camera pans around the land. When it slowly pans over a large bed of tall flowers, you can clearly see a very large shadow passing over them. Obviously the shadow of camera equipment or a camera crane.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the Lion sings his "If I Were King" song just before visiting the Wizard, if you watch closely above his moving tail, there is a string holding up and moving around the Lion's tail.

Mistake Audio problem: After the Witch is liquefied, the soldiers hail Dorothy. After Dorothy asks for the broom, they are heard hailing her again, but none of their mouths move. As the scene fades into the next one, the soldiers mouths can be seen beginning to move to say the line.

Mistake Continuity: During the Lion's king song, the Tin Man breaks a flower pot and places it on the Lion's head as a crown. In the wide shot, the Tin Man's hand is still on the crown, but when it cuts to a closeup of the Lion the Tin Man's hand is suddenly gone.

Mistake Continuity: During the tornado scene at the farm Dorothy runs to the back of the house and the bench is turned over - when she returns the bench is upright .
