The Wiz (1978)

Visible crew/equipment: As the Tin Man gets to the end of his song, he's dancing in front of three mirrors. If you look past him as he's centered in the middle mirror, you can see the camera lens looking out of the canvas at him.

Movie Nut

Factual error: Dorothy tells Miss One that she lives at "433 Prospect Place." Dorothy is supposed to live in Harlem. Any New Yorker knows that there is no Prospect Place in Harlem. In reality, Prospect Place is in Brooklyn and is, in fact, where the street scenes for "Harlem" were filmed.

Revealing mistake: During the subway scene, when the first pillar breaks and starts to move towards Dorothy, the top of it is cardboard and wiggles back and forth as the pillar breaks. This is noticeable in the other pillars as well.

Trivia: With the release of the film, Congoleum ,the flooring company that designed The Yellow Brick Road, made the design available for home use.

Trivia: According to an unauthorized biography, "Call Her Ms. Ross," Diana Ross was hospitalized and neaarly blinded by the lighting effect used for the movie.

Trivia: During the Munchkinland sequence, if you pay attention, you will notice that none of the very young Munchkins appear until the musical number starts. This was most likely to save shooting time, since children are not allowed to work for more than four hours a day.

Scarecrow: Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute.
Tinman: I was there when he said it, but I never thought I'd be one of them.

Aunt Em: Girl, do you know that you're 24 years old, and you've never been south of 125th Street? Well, you haven't.

Dorothy: He must really be in shock.
Tinman: Oh, what I wouldn't give to be in shock! Just Once.
