In the office, after Charlie is introduced to Mr. Wilkinson, Wonka puts his hands on Charlie's shoulders. You can hear Wonka say, "You've won," but his lips don't move (at 01:35:20, but it's Wonka's chin that doesn't move since the camera cut to a shot of Charlie from behind Wonka at 01:35:18 while Wonka was saying "I had to test you Charlie" and we saw Wonka's chin moving then, just before he says "You won!" without his chin moving).

When the kids in the candy store are yelling, "Me, me!" their lips don't move (at 04:15 in a quick shot down on the kids with their hands up in the air when Bill, the candy store clerk is on the ladder ready to shower a hand full of candy down on them).

When Charlie presses the button in the Wonkavator, you can hear Willy Wonka say 'There it goes' (at 01:36:26), yet, his mouth does not match and you can tell that his audio was edited to say that (but the synchronization seems fine in the wide screen version).

Though Violet Beauregarde is from Miles City, Montana, the point where the number for her is placed on the map (#3 at 26:07) is consistent with Butte, about two hundred miles from Miles City.

During her TV interview, Violet says she laid off gum and switched to chocolate bars for the contest. She then proceeds to gloat about the piece of gum she's been chewing for three months, thus breaking a world record. If she laid off of gum for the duration of the contest, how is it she's been chewing this piece of gum for three months?

Before Mike Teevee gets taken away, the Oompa Loompa shoe pom-poms (pompoms to the purists) are white (at 01:30:19). When the Oompa Loompas start singing (at 01:30:28) the pompoms are suddenly orange. When the Oompa Loompas first appear at 56:58 (and sing their first chorus at 01:00:10), their pompoms are white with brown stripes to match their outfits which they also wear in the Inventing Room where they sing their second chorus at 01:13:12, the golden egg room where they sing their third chorus at 01:23:23, and the Wonkamobile room. The Wonkavision room, where Mike Teevee gets transmitted, appears as a clean room where the Oompa Loompas wear white outfits with no piping. They sing the last (fourth) chorus at 01:30:28 in the clean room wearing white outfits with orange piping and pompoms that match the Oompa Loompas' faces.

When Charlie opens his first Wonka bar and says he found the ticket (at 15:19 in the wide screen version, where the bar is cropped off the bottom of the screen so we can't see it), the bar is inside the plastic casing still, but when he turns around, it is out of the casing and in his other hand.

When everyone first notices the chocolate river, thinking it's dirty water, Willy says, "It's chocolate." As he is saying this, Veruca can be seen putting a piece of candy in her mouth (at 56:20). The camera then cuts to a close shot (at 56:21) of Veruca saying, "That's chocolate!?" at which point her mouth is empty and her hand is completely away from her mouth.

The two doors that Willy Wonka exits while coming out of the factory are fully lit (at 43:54, 44:03 and 44:17), but in the next shot (at 43:52, 43:58, 44:15, 44:26), from the point of view of the crowd, the right door is shadowed.

In the golden egg room there's a low piece of clear plastic on the front of the egg judging device when Veruca is standing on it (at 01:22:24). When Mr. Salt chases after Veruca down the same chute (with pegs on the gold pole to the left at 01:23:00), the piece of plastic is gone.

Mrs. Teevee starts out with a black purse, which she then carries throughout the movie (from 42:28 before Willy Wonka appears to 01:26:29 just before donning a clean suit). Once she is in the TV room, however, she has a white purse (it can be noticed at 01:27:15 when the giant Wonka Bar is carried in, and also when Mike gets shrunk and Mrs. Teevee sticks him into the purse).

While riding the Wonka-mobile you can clearly see that the pipes and computers are reused from the inventing room, in fact there's a yellow pipe labeled E3 (at 01:26:04) which was previously seen in the inventing room (at 01:10:28) near the great gum machine. As well as the windows and brick walls which suspiciously seem to have the same dimensions as the ones in the chocolate room.
