Factual error: When Steve Martin dies with the mask on, the inflation bulbs (the little black bags that inflate and deflate) deflate completely. Actually they should INFLATE completely and stay that way. The gas is still on full blast and Steve is no longer inhaling (which would cause them to deflate). It was done only to emphasize Steve Martin's demise but it's factually incorrect.

Little Shop of Horrors is a Comedy/Horror/Musical about a plant from outer space that finds Seymour, Audrey and the others and upends their lives while eating people! It gets bigger and bigger until it becomes a existential threat to Skid Row. Remarkable puppetry, great songs and a nice cast makes this odd, old film well worth checking out.
More mistakes in Little Shop of Horrors
Seymour: Wait for me, Audrey. This is between me and the vegetable.
Trivia: To make the effects of Audrey II look convincing, the animatronic was usually shot at a lower frame-rate, such as 12 frames per second, and then played back at the standard 24fps. This sped-up the shots and made the animatronic's motions look more fluid and lifelike. In order to compensate, whenever a human actor would be in-shot with Audrey II, they would have to act in "slow motion" in order for their movement to look right at 24fps. (You can kinda tell in a few shots if you look closely).
Question: Near the end of the song "I am a dentist", is Orin saying "and a success" or "and I say sit"?
Answer: He says "and a success". He's singing about his mother telling him he'd become a successful dentist.
