Corrected entry: The film is set in the UK, but Charlie and his family use American words such as "candy" and "vacation" many times throughout the movie.

Corrected entry: When the Oompa-Loompas come out at night to put up flyers advertising the golden ticket contest, they are tall enough to reach several feet up on the telephone poles. The next time we see them, however, it is shown that they are much smaller and would not be able to reach that high.
Correction: They weren't Oompa Loompas. They even give you a few head shots just to show you that, and if you look it is obvious that they don't look remotely like Oompa Loompas.

Corrected entry: When Willy is talking about his idea of transmitting chocolate through TV in the TV room, you can see he has his high heeled boots on. Next, you see a far shot and you can see he's wearing flat boots.
Correction: Not true his boots are always high heeled it's just that in the far shot it LOOKS like it but if you look close you can see that there is an indent to were the heel is, it is very hard to see if you just glance at it because it is fuzzy but it's there.

Corrected entry: Towards the beginning when the Wonka trucks are driving out of the factory gates with the Wonka bars, the first scene shows the the trucks turning towards the left side of the screen (they are making a right turn from the driver's point of view). In another shot they are going straight.
Correction: They are going straight because a few seconds have passed and the trucks are now out of the turn and going straight ahead on a straight road.

Corrected entry: Willy Wonka says that the Oompa Loompa can't tolerate cold weather but they are seen later working in snow.
Correction: That's not snow, it's powdered sugar.

Corrected entry: Whenever Charlie takes a bite of chocolate in the movie it is obvious that he hasn't really put any of the candy in his mouth. There's a loud snap like he broke the bar but it's still in one piece.
Correction: In the book it says that he only takes little bites just enough to cover his tongue in a layer of rich decadent chocolate so that is what he does so it will make a snapping sound but it will also look like he didn't take anything off of it.

Correction: Where in this movie has it ever said that it's set in the UK? This is fiction; some people assume that the film is set there because of the way some of the characters talk, but who's to say that they don't live in some made-up country or world?
