Trivia

These all come straight from the Labyrinth DVD. The Goblin City required the biggest panoramic backcloth ever made. The Enchanted Forest that Sarah visits was constructed from 40,000 sprays of artificial leaves, 120 truckloads of tree branches, 1,200 turfs of grass, 850 pounds of dried leaves and 133 bags of linchen. The Shaft of Helping Hands was made up of 150 human hands as well as 200 foam rubber hands. The Bog of Eternal Stench has to be the best effect in the whole movie, it was made up of 30,000 gallons of water, mixed with a ton of celacol (stuff to thicken the water with, a paste almost) brown and blue dyes, liquid paraffin and hundreds of little glass beads were also thrown in to add to the effect.

Labyrinth

Visible crew/equipment: At the start of the film, when Bowie sings the word, "Underground," the last word of the song, it's just at that moment the screen goes from black background to a backdrop of trees in the real park, which is the same moment the animated owl turns into a real owl, the wire attached to the real owl's left foot is visible. There is a jess (strap) around its left foot, that is also clearly visible when he lands on the obelisk in the park.
