Willy Wonka: All right, let's start the tour.

Violet Beauregarde: Wait, don't you want to know our names?

Willy Wonka: I can't see why that would possibly make any difference.

The squirrels were all real and trained, but when they were all put on the set they began to fight. The squirrel scenes had to be done like the Oompa Loompa scenes, taping all the squirrels separately and pasting them together. See more...

Mistakes

⇓

Continuity: When the factory gates open for the contest winners, the shadows in the courtyard change between shots. [This is a reference to the first film in which the shadows shift a lot. It is also shown in other parodies of the original film, eg, the Family guy episode "Wasted talent". Still a valid mistake.]

Continuity: In the scene when Agustus Gloop gets sucked into the chocolate tube, the inside of the tube is covered in chocolate. But in the far away shot, when you see the tube being retracted, it is perfectly clean inside and out.

Deliberate "mistake": Charlie's room has a hole big enough for him to climb out of in the ceiling. I know it is to show just how poor the family is, but we see he has only a thin wool blanket for warmth. He would have frozen to death in his sleep during winter by now.

Continuity: When Violet begins to inflate into a blueberry, there are two Oompa-Loompaas behind her. In the next shot, they are gone.

⇓

Continuity: The tire track of the rightmost truck (in the top-down shot) is completely wrong. All 5 of the trucks were parked parallel. Besides, we can see only one pair of tire tracks per truck, but when a truck turns, the path the front wheels move on has a larger radius than the one the back ones move on thus creating two tracks. All this was OK just a shot before.

Other: In the credits, the actor for Mike Teavee, Jordan Fry's name was spelled wrong to "Jordon".

⇓

Factual error: During the Mike Teavee scene, the drummer is not even touching the hi-hat Mike is hanging onto thus he should not have been launched up in the air.

⇓

Factual error: In the intro the chocolate wrapper states that the bar weighs 7 oz net, yet the boxes the bars are packaged in says 150g. 7oz is approximately 200g.

Other: The mechanism that shoots the Gobstoppers into the pool is not connected to the pool. It's almost as if the mechanism is just floating there.
