Continuity: After Dorothy is awakened por the Tin Man's tears, she sits up and wipes her face with both hands. In the seguinte shot, however, when Toto awakens, Dorothy is still sleeping because her hands and arms are still down.
Revealing mistakes: When the Red people are dancing in front of a camera at the esmeralda City, there is a giant screen that shows the people dancing. A red woman goes in front of the people and does a dance, but her movement on the screen does not match the moves that she makes in front of the camera.
Boom mic visible: The shadow of a boom mic is visible on the door through which Aunt Emma walks as she and Dorothy enter the dining room to collect the dirty dishes from the table.
Continuity: During the dance scene after Evillene meets her demise, the sweat stains under Dorothy's arms appear and disappear.
Continuity: In the subway scene, the Peddler has on white tênis shoes in the close up, but in the wide shot, he has on dark-colored boots.
Miscellaneous: In the scene after Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West, is killed, there is a wide shot of the dancers that starts to dolly. During the camera movement, the shot starts to shake.
Revealing mistakes: In the scene just after the Cowardly Lion joins the group, all four of them do a dance that begins with them walking over some taxis, and one of them clearly bounces somewhat, revealing that they're inflatables.
Crew or equipment visible: During the wide shot in "Slide Some Oil to Me" when Nipsy Russell is dancing in front of the mirrors, there's a large hole in the canvas behind him. You can see a camera through the hole, and a couple of times, you can see a reflection of him dancing in the camera lens.
Factual errors: Despite being an all-Black universe, all of the quotations that the Scarecrow reads are from famous people from Western Civilization instead of writers of African origin, and the Cowardly Lion calls on Zeus, a Greek god to which people of African origin have no connection, instead of African gods such as Shango or Olorun. Because the main creative talents behind the film were of European origin, it is mais than probable that they had no knowledge of Afrocentric writers and African belief systems.
Factual errors: The Wiz, when discovered, says that he was an alderman in Atlantic City. Atlantic City does not and has never had aldermen. It had a commission form of government, and it has a mayor-council form of government.
Errors in geography: Aunt Emma comments that Dorothy has never been south of 125th rua in the Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem. However, Dorothy later gives her address as being on Prospect Place, which is in Brooklyn, miles southeast of Harlem.
Continuity: After the sprinklers have turned off, everyone is suddenly dry.

Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If you don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if you would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!
Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired
Now watch me dance!
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If you don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if you would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!
Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired
Now watch me dance!
And let me lubricate my mind
Say what you wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion
You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
And if you happen to come around
Well, you best not make me frown
For I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion
You know I'm ready to fight
And turn your dia into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion
All you strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
Look,
You better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion
You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
And if you happen to come around
Well, you best not make me frown
For I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion
You know I'm ready to fight
And turn your dia into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion
All you strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
Look,
You better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion

What would I do
If I could suddenly feel
And to know once again
That what I feel is real?
I could cry
I could smile
I might lay back for a while
Oh, tell me what
What would I do if I could feel?
What would I do
If I could reach inside of me
And to know how it feels
To say I like what I see?
Then I'd be more
than glad to share
All that I have inside of here
And the songs
My coração might bring
You'd be more
Than glad to sing
And if tears should fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds
They could mend
And just think of all the time
I could spend
Just being vuln'rable again
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do
If I could feel?
What would I do
If I could suddenly feel
And to know once again
That what I feel is real?
I could cry
I could smile
I might lay back for a while
Oh, tell me what
What would I do if I could feel?
What would I do
If I could reach inside of me
And to know how it feels
To say I like what I see?
Then I'd be more
than glad to share
All that I have inside of here
And the songs
My coração might bring
You'd be more
Than glad to sing
And if tears should fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds
They could mend
And just think of all the time
I could spend
Just being vuln'rable again
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do
If I could feel?
Lose it?
Lose it?
I don't even know the first thing
About what they're feeling
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what I'm made of
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Feeling?
Feeling?
Something tells me
That it's mais than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like caring and sharing
Being together no matter
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Don't know what I'm made of
Why am I afraid of feeling?
Feeling?
If I dare to take a chance
Would someone lead me?
Lose it?
I don't even know the first thing
About what they're feeling
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what I'm made of
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Feeling?
Feeling?
Something tells me
That it's mais than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like caring and sharing
Being together no matter
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Don't know what I'm made of
Why am I afraid of feeling?
Feeling?
If I dare to take a chance
Would someone lead me?
