Continuity mistake: In the beginning, where it is showing how the Wonka chocolate bars are made, we see trays holding twelve pieces of chocolate. When it shows the trays on the conveyor belt, each tray holds fourteen pieces of chocolate.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Agustus Gloop gets sucked into the chocolate tube, the inside of the tube is covered in chocolate. But in the far away shot, when you see the tube being retracted, it is perfectly clean inside and out.
Factual error: In the scene in the glass elevator, when Mike Teavee wants to push a button, he presses the TV Room button. The elevator stops going down and immediately moves horizontally. The characters within the elevator are thrown against the wall from the sudden change. However, they are thrown against the wall that is in the direction the elevator is now moving, instead of the opposite wall as they should have been. (01:20:15)

Grandpa Joe: No, sir.
Willy Wonka: Then wonderful, welcome back.
Question: After young Willy sees his childhood home disappear, where did he live and grow up?
