Corrected entry: In the scene where the Tin Man breaks the flower pot for Lion's crown, the top of the flower pot falls away, forming the spikes on the crown. In the next shot when the Lion is wearing the crown, the base has been cut out to allow room for his head.

Corrected entry: After the flying monkeys fly off with Dorothy, the Lion and the Tinman hurry over to the disassembled Scarecrow, who says "First they tore my legs off and threw them over THERE". But the legs are right below his chest; the Tinman immediately grabs them without having to reach far.
Correction: The Scarecrow is in a state of high anxiety, and he's highly overwhelmed by what they did to him. Now he and the others are facing dire circumstances, so it's merely the character's misbelief as to the status of his lower limbs, or Scarecrow may have actually meant all the straw stuffing that made up his legs which the Flying Monkeys had thrown aside, though whatever the case it's not a film mistake. Note, Tin Man even says, "They sure knocked the stuffings out of you."

Correction: No, the "base" has not "been cut out to allow room for his head" because when Tin Man lifts the flower pot to break it, there is no base at the bottom whatsoever. Tin Man's fingers are gripping the inside bottom of the pot, and we see through the center.
