The Wizard of Oz Blooeprs (with photos)

[Darken]

Considering this is a movie thread I thought why not have another Blooper thread starting with Wizard of Oz. So hope you enjoy. Also check my other thread The Warriors Bloopers.



Blooper 1 is the scene after Dorothy has arrived and is looking around you will notice the Munchkins popping up from the flowers and also look closely at the orangish red plants sticking out and the background that has a big flower sticking out of the base on the pond that you see behind Dorothy. Look closely at the background. Onto the next photo.

This is a continued shot of Dorothy still looking around now look at the background if you look closely the background shot changed if you compare the first Blooper to this photo. First it shows that the big flower from the pond now it shows the side of the staircase with a regular glass lamp and a big blowup shot of one of the buildings with a red door and the big flower mentioned earlier has completly dissapeared. A very quick shot from where Dorothy was looking and not only that but it suddenly goes to a front distant shot of Dorothy putting Toto down and not even showing the flowers where the Munchkins popped from.


Blooper 2 is the scene where the Munchkins are singing and the soldiers and carage come over to Dorothy. Look closely at the soldier wearing red uniform with a big red hat and holding a sword in the air that is marching behind the carriage if you look closely you can see him trying to keep his hat on throughout the singing squence.


Blooper 3 is the scene after Dorothy gets out of the carriage you will notice her walking up the steps. Now look closely at the Munchkin wearing a purple suit and also the Munchkin wearing a white suite with a red tie holding his spotted top hat. Continue to the next photo.

This is a continued shot as Dorothy walks up the steps and meets the Munchkins. Look closely at the same Munchkins mentioned in Blooper 3. You will notice the Munchkin wearing purple is now showing him moving to the side and the Munchkin with the white suite and spotted top hat is now on the far left when you clearly saw that he was standing in front.


Blooper 4 is the scene where you will notice all the soldiers form a line and of course more singing Munchkins and dancing. Now look closely at Munchkins you will notice one wearing a red suit with taned looking pants, one wearing a purple long coat, one wearing a blue long coat with tall looking hat, a female Munchkin wearing a brown dress and the soldier wearing a red uniform holding his sword in the air.

This is a continued shot showing the soldiers all formed in a line. Now look at those same Munchkins I mentioned before one second their dancing the next their all grouped together and standing as the balereenas start to come out (sorry for the misspelling).


Blooper 5 is the scene where the Wicked Witch of the West comes in and starts terrorzing all the Munchkins as the run and hide. Look closely at the part after Dorothy tells the good witch "thought she was dead?" you will then notice the Wicked Witch of the West goes towards the house. Now look at the bottom right corner of the house you can see what appears to be a jack holding the house up. Continue to the next photo.

This is another shot a few moments later after the good witch asks the bad witch about the slippers. You will then notice the Wicked Witch of the west moves toward the house again. If you look at the same corner I mentioned you will notice the jack is no longer in place it has dissappeared.

This movie has been one of my favorites.  The bloopers are always enjoyable.  I did hear that this film had some dark secrets hidden behind it.

Blooper 6 is the scene showing the Wicked Witch of the East feet starting to roll up nothing majorly wrong here onto the next photo.


This is a continued shot after showing the Witch of the East feet dissappearing. If you look closely after the feet dissappear, the Wicked Witch of the West will suddenly pop in.


Blooper 7 is the scene where the Witch of the West was trying to get the ruby slippers from Dorothy and later on was told to go away. You will notice soon as the Witch of the West leaves you will notice a hatch opening in the floor will appear and thus folloing red smoke comming out.


Blooper 8 is the scene where Dorothy is trying to the scarecrow down. Once she gets him loose look closely at the scarecrow as he falls. You can clearly see that he falls and then starts to jump and then itll show another shot of him falling.


Blooper 9 is the scene of where Dorothy first meets the Tinman and later on the scene the scarecrow and Dorothy free the Tinman with the oil. You will notice the Tinman starts to sing look closely at the house in the background.

This is continued shot to where it shows a far distance shot of the Tinman singing now look in the background again.. no house. It do a split second shot of showing the house and then all of a sudden a cliff type of background. You will later notice soon as the Tinman, Scarecrow and Dorothy walking down and now you see the house to the far left. There was never a cliff looking background when Dorothy first encounters the Tinman.


Blooper 10 is the scene where Dorothy, Scarecrow and the Tinman encounters the Wicked Witch of the West warning them to stay away from Dorothy. A few moments later she will throw a fireball at the Scarecrow. If you look closely the Tinman tries to put out the fire with his hat, after he exstinquishes it and the witch leaves you will notice that he puts his hat on showing the cap is on wrong. You will notice the handle was on his left after he put his cap on its on the right. Likely the actor didnt realize this. Later in the  scenes you will notice the Tinman has his cap on the correct way showing the handle end on his left side.


Blooper 11 is the scene of the Tinman dance look closely at the basket sitting on the ground. Continue to the next photo.

These are continued shots of the Tinmans dance you will notice it will show Dorothy and Scarecrow watching the Tinman dance one shot Dorothy doesnt have the basket and then a few seconds later she is holding the basket. Also after the scene with the Wicked Witch and the Tinman putting out the fire you will notice Dorothy picks up the basket and they head off. Dorothy never picked up the basket to begin with.

This next photo isnt a Blooper, however this part of the scene has been talked about. The story was that a Munchkin hung himself during the filming of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman singing scene in the background of the trees. The reason of the hanging was said about a relationship that he was undergoing. Well this is the legendary scene that everyone has been talking about more than 30 years.  For those who did not know.. is that they did infact had birds filmed within the movie which is why you see several birds flying around here and there. But some of the birds got loose and decided to shoot the scenes anyway. Well this scene shows that there is NO MUNCHKIN hanging from a tree in the background it is a bird spreading its wing out which is also a big bird in size. There could of been suicide within the filming of the movie but on during the filming no. I'm not saying nothing happened because I wouldn't know I didnt direct the movie.  The evidence of the so called Munchkin hanging was never proved only the same photo that I am showing you now. There have been stories of a certain older version of the film can be viewed thus seeing this Munchkin hanging, again no one has ever presented any actual evidence other than the bird on this. But on with the next photo.

This next photo I is the same scene of Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tinman skipping away to forest. Now this particular piece I found quite odd and possibly disturbing but look closely in this photo you will notice a black dot peeking in between the trees in the background behind the house. If you watch the begining of the song with Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tinman that little dot appears around halfway through/toward the end of the song just as they leave. The dot appears for a few seconds then dissapears and then reappears again. Now it could be another bird walking around, it could be a stage man, or if the story is true (which highly not) could be the Munchkin hanging this particular shot is very interesting to watch because it seems like a person but then again birds are all over the place I will not say this is the Munchkin hanging. Anything is possible in this shot. If this story was ever true then everyone has been looking at the wrong area in this scene for many many years... So for this particular photo undecided but watch that part youll see what I mean. You can barely see it unless you blow the screen up.


Blooper 12 is the scene of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, and the Lion skipping on there way to Oz. If you look closely the Scarecrow nearly trips during the skipping scene.

Blooper 13 is the scene where Dorothy, Tinman, Scarecrow and Lion meets the Wizard of Oz within this segment you will notice how the Tinman is afraid as everyone else. Look closely in the background behind the Tinman which is of course Dorothy, Scarecrow and Lion. Continue to the next photo.


This is continued shot right after showing a close up of the Tinman all of a sudden its a different angle of everyone first it showed that Dorothy, Scarecrow and Lion were right behind the Tinman now it shows them slightly standing side ways.


Blooper 14 is the scene of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion in the dark forest where the Flying Monkeys come in place. You will notice early on in the scene the Tinman gets picked up and carried off and then a few moments later you will see him drop out of a tree. Well look closely at the Tinman apparently he is human after all.. you can see his white shirt.


Blooper 15 is the scene where Dorothy is captured in the Wicked Witch of the West castle you will notice Dorothy noticing Toto escaped the castle nothing major wrong here. Continue to the next photo.

This is a continued shot right after you see the close up of Dorothy. You will notice first it just shows a close up of her and now all of a sudden it shows her holding her right arm up against the wall when you can clearly see that her right arm was not held up it is down.


Blooepr 16 is the scene where the Tinman, Scarecrow and Lion are trying to make to the castle you will notice their climbing up the mountain. Continue to the next photo.

This is right after showing Tinman, Scarecrow and Lion climbing up the mountain exscept it goes to a quick shot from showing Tinman grabbing onto the Lions tail to showing a close up of the Tinman holding the Lions tale when it shows them kneeled down.


Blooper 17 is an interesting shot this is the scene where Dorothy, Tinman, Scarecrow and Lion try to escape the castle. You will notice a close up of them. Continue to the next photo.

This is a continued shot after the close up of them. This time its a distance shot of the Tinman swinging his axe.. now first you noticed the Scare is standing next to the Tinman on his right side now all of sudden the Scarecrow dissappeared. This could very likely be a blooper or the Scarecrow is really that scared that he would hurdle up behind the Tinman and not be noticed.

[Lion]

Nice job, if it weren't for these, I would of never known or seen the mistakes.

Blooper 18 is the scene where the Wicked Witch traps Dorothy, Tinman, Scarecrow and Lion. Look closely at the guard standing in front of the Wicked Witch. Continue to the next photo.


This is a continued shot right after the shot shown. Now all of a sudden the guard that was standing next to the Wicked Witch is now behind her.


Blooper 19 is the scene where Dorothy,Tinman, Scarecrow and Lion meet the Wizard of Oz for the 2nd time, this time bringing back the Wicked Witches broom. Within the scene you will notice the Wizard of Oz will decline such requests and then later showing Toto running toward the curtain. If you look closely you will notice a cord is attatched to Toto for him to pull the curtain away. It is said that they could not make Toto grab the curtain with his mouth on command so they attached a cord for him to pull it. You will notice that within a few seconds later itll show Toto sitting down next to the curtain you can still see it attatched to him. Not only that but when the Wizard of Oz yanks out the curtain you will notice a small black cord attached within the curtain.


Blooper 20 is the scene where the Wizard of Oz is to take Dorothy home in the air balloon. This is the scene where you will notice Dorothy is lightly touching the Lions fur. Cotinue to the next photo.

This is a continued shot right after you notice her touching the Lions fur. If you look closely you will notice one second shes touching the Lions fur and then all of a sudden itll go to a shot of her holding Toto when you can clearly see she does not. Also if you notice that she touches the Lions fur with her left hand. This shot is showing her holding Toto in her left hand when it clearly shows her holding Toto in her right hand.


Blooper 21 is the scene where Toto notices a cat that one of the civilians is holding and he goes off and chases it. You will notice Dorothy rushes out to chase after him thus following Lion. Apparently the Tinman must have some serious lonelyness issues if you look closely you will notice that the Tinman sabotages the balloon and then a few seconds later you will see him act as if the rope just went loose on its own and tries to hold the rope and keep the baloon down. The Tinman is heartless allright.
