odd film trivia

[archhippy]

I was siting in a lecteur and over heard one of the girls talking about things in films that shouldnt be there for example in the wizard of ozz no disrespect meant but the part were the charesters leave the dirt forest going into the poppy field you can see what looks like a bird flying back and fourth its not apparently its a munchcin who hung himself.iwas shocked does any one know of any others?

The "hanging munchkin" is a very well-known but thoroughly untrue bit of movie folklore. Sorry!

And that is most likely what it is - a bird! MGM wanted to make the film look more exotic, so they borrowed Peacocks, Turkeys and Cranes from the Los Angeles Zoo. Makes a good story, though. http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/ozsuicid.htm

The apocryphal "ghost" boy in the background of 3 men and a baby is a great one.... there is a boy there, but sadly not a ghost... as with the previous poster snopes is the best place to look these up, but only if you're not planning to do anything in the next 2 hours
