Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Johnny Depp, Christopher Lee, Helena Bonham Carter, Freddie Highmore, David Kelly, Missi Pyle
Corrected entry: Willy is the only one that can verify the golden tickets, but we never see the Russian ticket rejected or the good tickets even looked at by him.
Correction: You're thinking about the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, where it is revealed that the fifth ticket was a forgery.
Other mistake: Squirrels are used in the factory to get nuts out of shells. Mr Wonka states that they tap the nut first to make sure it isn't a bad nut. However, this is never done until the action is pointed out.
Willy Wonka: Good morning starshine...the earth says hello!
Trivia: In the scene with the young Willy Wonka eating a box of chocolates, he is writing down in a notebook a description of each chocolate he eats. When Roald Dahl was at boarding school there was a Cadbury's factory nearby that used the pupils as testers for their new chocolate, and they were asked to write down their comments in much the same way. This is mentioned in his book Boy.
Question: After young Willy sees his childhood home disappear, where did he live and grow up?
Answer: We are never shown what happened to him but he may have gone to live with relatives or he was simply put into an orphanage.

Correction: The are many ways by which fraud can be detected. The movie never said, nor implied that Willy Wonka was the one who determined the ticket to be forged.
