Continuity mistake: When Big Jim saw the Little Fellow turn into a chicken for the second time, in the close up shot of Big Jim the knife is still seen lying on the table (which earlier was put away by the Little Fellow) and in the very next shot it disappears again from the table. (00:18:30)

Trivia: In the famous scene where Chaplin eats a shoe, the shoe was made of licorice. Chaplin repeated the scene so many times that he was hospitalized for hyperglycemia.

Suggested correction: Chaplin wasn't hospitalized. He and Mack Swain did eat so much licorice in the many takes Chaplin took of the eating-the-boot scene that they both very much suffered from the laxative effects of licorice, i.e., severe diarrhea.
