@@MaskedMan66 Yea My little brother wrote that since we share the same account
I feel so bad for all the actors and actresses
Me too @But How
@but how me to
RIP to all of them â
I heard some munchkins were alive to this day but u dont if its true..
yeah even judy garland
Wow, every one who made this movie need an Oscar for having to go through all of that to make this movie :/
I agree. They really should have gotten more recognition than they did for the work that went into this movie. With all the unfortunate experiences they went through in today's time somebody would have quit or sued the studio, but the fact that they kept going, just wow. They'd be proud to know it has entertained so many generations and how loved it has become.
Actors go through a lot to make any movie; "Wizard" is not a special case. Read up on "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" sometime. Also know that three actors died making "Twilight Zone: The Movie."
@@kelseypeterson5172 They were proud to know it had entertained so many for so long; Bolger, Haley, and Hamilton saw the legacy of the movie reach over a billion people worldwide in their lifetimes. As for suing, Margaret Hamilton's doctor said that she should have, but she was wilier than that: she knew she'd never stand a chance against the monolith that was MGM, so she just plowed through the rest of the film and had a grand time anyway.
No Oscar can make up for this
@@snatchingcareers4681 For what?
I never thought I word hear âhospitalizedâ so many times in one video đ
Do you mean would
Especially since one was unnecessary; Jack Haley got over his eye infection at home.
The cast suffered so many injuries making this film! Now I have a newfound respect for actors and for Wizard of Oz.
@@AndySaenz Most movies have their fair share of unfortunate incidents; compared to some, "Wizard" ran fairly smooth.
Yeah
If you ever feel unlucky, remember the Wicked Witch in the production of this film.
Ya, no kidding!
And Judy garland - forced to do a diet of pep pills and cigarettes to lose weight at 16
Fish and Chips Monster2000 Judy garland also was told she was a fat pig and put on a diet to lose weight,she was also druged everyday
@@rafaeldenzo1255 And the munchkin were touching judy Garland up her dress..
Dorothy (judy garland) Only trusted the wicked witch of the west(Margaret Hamilton) Because they bullied her and The munchkins sexually harassed her
Nice to know they didnât cancel the movie when actors almost died and several had long term injuries
Ya for reals!
@2k cinemas Movieclips Movies are still dangerous.
That's an old showbiz tradition called "the show must go on." The actors themselves would think the studio wimpy if they shut down the production because of problems that they survived.
DEADLY TO..............
There were so many people who got hurt
Boy, it was quite dangerous for everyone involved in the making of The Wizard of Oz. People were hospitalized so much I'm surprised they didn't shut down production because of all the injuries.
Accidents happen in every occupation; that doesn't mean you shut them down. Most accidents happen at home; what's your solution to that? ;-) Anyhow, more injuries have been suffered by actors on other movies than on this one.
@@MaskedMan66 This movie shouldnât have carried on producing because there were WAY to many severe injuries + Judy being abused by her costars. I would also like you to provide a link or something to where this information underneath every comment is coming from because Iâm very confused how you manage to get all this
@@deathbydrano Judy was not abused by her co-stars; they loved her, and as Margaret Hamilton observed, she helped to keep them sane. As for accidents, they can happen anywhere. Showbiz people are tough (at least they were back then) and get the job done.
Look for and read the books "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz, "The Wizard of Oz: The 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman, and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman. Those are the most authoritative books on the production of the movie.
@@MaskedMan66 Not by her co-stars but by the director. Judy got slapped across the face because she kept laughing in one of the scene. The director took her and slapped her so she can get focus and do the scene. Even though her co-stars didn't abuse, she did get abused by the director.
@@Dannaboy23 One slap does not mean abuse. The studio was about to close down for the night, and Judy's giggle fit was endangering the shot. So as one does with a person in hysteria (of which a giggle fit is a very mild type), Fleming gave Judy a slap to bring her back to her senses.
And as so many people seem to want to ignore, he felt horrible about doing it and Judy forgave him.
The Wizard of Oz paved the way for more rules and regulations that eventually led the way to safer sets.
Not just "Wizard." Movie sets have always been hazardous places. They still are.
The Screen Actors Guild had been established in 1933, founded by Boris Karloff.
Dang, old movies were rough.
Weird thought that the movie was iconic but so many bad things happened. I just can't get how they abused Judy out of my mind. I've never watched the movie so it'll be weird and it would had been better if I watched this after watching the movie.
Ikr
@@masterofdragons82 They didn't abuse Judy (Fleming would have never allowed it), and she would want you to watch the movie and enjoy yourself.
@2k cinemas Movieclips Making movies is dangerous, period.

Well, I feel bad for all the suffering of the actors including the main cast but despite the dark backstory behind it, The Wizard of Oz is a timeless masterpiece and I just hope that at least all those who worked hard on it felt that their effort wasn't put in vain.
The backstory isn't "dark," it was just a matter of hard work, which every movie involves to this day. Hot lights and uncomfortable costumes and make-up are pretty much standard in most fantasy movies and stage productions.
The stuff that happened behind the scenes is the worldâs scariest movie
No, that dubious honor belongs to "Twilight Zone:The Movie,' during the filming of which a helicopter crashed, killing Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen.
This movie is a timeless masterpiece, but how far can you go with your art if you have to risk the actor's being harmed?
There's risk in anything we do, and certainly nobody intended for anyone to be hurt. But "Wizard" is not a unique case; there have been injuries-- and deaths-- during the making of hundreds of movies.
@@MaskedMan66
Majority of movies don't have this amount of injuries tho
@@frogglen6350 Some have had more, and some have had worse. Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen were all killed by a crashing helicopter during the making of "Twilight Zone: The Movie."
@@MaskedMan66 just because some have had more doesnt invalidate the fact that these people were still very hurt. And its wasnt intentional???? Then why tf did they use so many toxic substances gtfo
@@liviamm1317 Of course it wasn't intentional, any more than John Landis intended for that helicopter to crash on Morrow, Le, and Chen! Billions of people have been hurt in millions of situations all throughout human history. That's life. And name me a toxic substance that they used apart from the copper, which is only toxic if it catches fire-- which, of course, nobody intended to happen to Miss Hamilton's make-up.
I feel soooo bad FOR LL OF THEM!!!
They wouldn't want to be pitied, and they considered all the grief worth it when the movie turned out so well. Even Buddy Ebsen wished he could have stayed on it.
Feel sorry for Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen; they were killed when a helicopter crashed while they were shooting "Twilight Zone: The Movie."
When i heard about the dogs foot breaking because someone stepped on it i almost cried and almost threw my ipad
It may have only been a sprain, because Terry was back on the job two weeks later.
It's a dog what about the HUMANS who were injured on this film I was much more upset about them than a dog
@@thegreatsalmon137 yeah u are right on that but i hope the dog was ok but itâs probably dead by now because the wizard of oz was made in 1939
@@carolynnotcaroline3780 true they didn't take care of anything on set
@@thegreatsalmon137 They survived and recovered, so relax.
From the looks of it filming the wizard of oz was terrible
Ya no kidding! Itâs pretty amazing that itâs become a legendary film.
Fun Fact Films a lot of the most famous movies had troubled productions. Jaws, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now come to mind.
DONT SAY THAT idk kniw wat to say now
Not only that but someone died on the set
Because In the old version there were rumors that a hanging body Wich was a actor of a muchkin was swing back and forth
NO ONE ON SET SAID "guys this movie will probably get us SUED!" EVEN THE DOG GOT HURT JEEZ
People get hurt every day in every walk of life. But do they quit? No! Human beings are made of stronger stuff than that.
@@MaskedMan66 so motovational
@@nmsgaming247 Just truth, friend!
@@MaskedMan66 ok
@@nmsgaming247 It may interest you to know that after she was burned, Margaret Hamilton's doctor told her that she ought to sue MGM, but she knew better; they were too big and too monolithic for a lawsuit to be of any use. So she just plowed ahead like the tough trouper that she was and finished her work.
And she was glad she did, both because the movie turned out so well, and because she got much more work than she otherwise might have. Along with Bolger and Haley, she lived long enough to realize just how huge "Wizard" became since they first made it. She also played the Wicked Witch many more times, both on stage and on T.V. :-)
So which actor got hospitalized during the filming of the wizard of oz.
Fun fact films, Yes.
At least they weren't killed like Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen when "Twilight Zone: The Movie" was being filmed.
Buddy Ebsen and two or three Winged Monkeys.
Who knew this movie would cause so many injuries.
Most movies do.

I feel bad for the witched witch she could have diedđą
No, because a stage hand grabbed her right away and shoved her under a sink, then took some alcohol and scrubbed her make-up off. She hadn't been aware that she was on fire!
@@MaskedMan66 that explains nothing
@@Sw9dkhfiex That explains why she did not die.
I feel bad for Margaret Hamilton cause she got no kind of credit beyond being in this classic cinema.....she deserved some 'special' nomination and academic award for being the best person to be not only the wicked witch of the west but also Miss Gulch!!!
@@johnhummer265 She had a good, long career doing what she loved, and didn't expect any special treatment. She had the love of people who love "Wizard," and she considered that all the accolade she needed. :-)
This is why I love the idea of taking a Film Appreciation class, because I appreciate all the extra work filmmakers went through last century, they didnât have all the more efficient ways to make films like we do today, BUT THEY STILL MADE GREAT FILMS
"Efficient ways" don't prevent accidents. Ask Olivia Jackson, who lost an arm doubling for Milla Jovovich in the last _Resident Evil_ movie, or David Holmes, who is paralyzed from the neck down because of a stunt that went wrong when he was doubling for Daniel Radcliffe in the last _Harry Potter_ film.
This is absolutely crazy! I hope those actress got paid a good amount of money!
In those days it was a lot but Dorothy got paid 500
a week whilst tin man and the others where 3000, I feel so bad for her :(
@@SparklezAn Judy Garland had only been with MGM for three years, and by the terms of her contract, her salary increased year to year. So by the time she made "Wizard," $500.00 was her weekly salary. She was to have gone to $750.00 a week in 1940, then $1000.00 a week in 1941, but when "Wizard" propelled her to major stardom, MGM tore up her old contract and drew up a new one starting her at $2000.00 a week in 1940.
Jack Haley, who was on loan from 20th Century Fox, had been on the big screen 34 times already; also, he had to give $1000.00 of his weekly earnings to Fox.
Everyone else's salaries were determined according to their contracts except for Margaret Hamilton, who always took the same fee for any movie she did-- that was why she got so much work!
It's actors and actresses.
@@MaskedMan66 Actor is technically a gender neutral name, you don't call female doctors Doctresses do you? And besides, I only said actress because that's what I heard someone from a series describe a group of PEOPLE that act. This is the second time you criticized me anyways.
@@MaskedMan66 Sorry if I'm being rude, but to me it sounded like you were being rude too..I don't know if it was just me.
Another grim fact: the actors who played Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion weren't kind to Judy Garland since they were worried she would upstage them, and shunned her throughout the whole production. Ironically, Margaret Hamilton (Wicked Witch of the West) was the actor who was nicest to her.
That is a lie; Judy enchanted everybody with whom she worked. Ray Bolger especially was impressed by how talented and intelligent she was; she could recite poems after reading them only once, and she recited "The Raven" by Poe for Bolger one time. When filming had ended, he made her a gift of a first edition woodprint of the poem.
@@MaskedMan66 Proof of your claim?
Actor/Actress: breaths
A second later : Gets injured
Because in the secret oxygen tank that stopped the costumes materiel (Poison Ivy) from infecting the Wizard, was swapped to a tank of sulfur. lol
@@ItsTealAlright omg
Sorry, what?
@@ItsTealAlright ???????????
Fact, they used a rolled up sock to make the tornado.
wait what-
No, they used a 30-foot tube of muslin.
@@MaskedMan66 no
@@amandastill5124 Yes, they did.
@@MaskedMan66 That was 3 years ago
Margaret Hamilton said that the makeup man had to quickly remove her makeup after she got burned, because he told her that the copper in her makeup will continue to eat away at her face from being heated up if it was not removed. She also wore green gloves through a lot of the film because of the burns on her hands
That's right. But she was a tough lady and continued working because she loved playing the Wicked Witch-- not so much Miss Gulch; that role was too much like the parts she usually got, but as the Witch, she was able to cut loose and feast on the scenery. :-)
P.S.: Only her right hand was burned..
FUN FACT: The suit worn by Jack Haley as the Tin Woodman was the same one that had been constructed (out of buckram and leather) for Buddy Ebsen, but because Ebsen was 6'4" and Haley was between 5'8" and 5'10", the suit had to be cut down a bit! :-)
Tbh they probability only got paid 50,000$ even though they nearly died.
That was a lot back then
Yep. 50k back then is about 700k today.
Also I was just doing a little search. And not surprised, but she made say less than most of the males even though she was the main character. The scarecrow was about 3k a week, and Dorothy made about 600 a week. Still equals out to about 9k a week for Dorothy and 46k for scarecrow in today's value. Cost about 3mil to produce. So that's 46 mil today. Just a little extra info. All from the web so not sure of the accuracy. đ
Young Spook26 not to mention that terry aka Toto got much more money than anyone else
Compared to the other actors poor Dorothy was only paid ÂŁ500 a week whilst the tin man,stinky lion and straw dude were paid ÂŁ3000. I honestly feel so bad for her nobody deserves that pain.
I loveeeeeee your videos!!!!!!!!!
Wow! I didn't realize all these actors had to go through torture to make this timeless film!
But they did it, like the pros they were, and they were very proud of the finished film.
You deserve 60k more subs! Subbed right now!!!
You deserve more subscribers.
I don't think I can ever watch this the same way again.
Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, and Margaret Hamilton would tell you to watch the movie and enjoy it as much as they did-- and they loved it.
@@MaskedMan66 you're in every comments.
@@rinari9572 No, just mine.
Ray Bolger (Scarecrow) was originally supposed to play the Tin Man and Buddy Ebsen the Scarecrow. But Bolger, however, wanted to play the Scarecrow so badly that he persuaded the studio executive to give him the role, and his wish was granted.
Actually, material has surfaced that shows that Bolger was the original cast for the Scarecrow, but his and Ebsen's names were switched in early reports. The confusion worried Bolger, who went to make sure he was still the Scarecrow, and the studio assured him that he was.
What did you expect? You can't make an omelette without breaking a few legs.
lol Pithy :)
I am getting heartburn hearing about the "injuries"!
Masterpiece for its time!

Margaret.
Don't be sad; Judy loved the movie.
So true Chuck!
What is?
Wow, Iâ€ïž this
Wow, they used asbestos for the snow scene! Thatâs horrible!
No, they used crushed gypsum.
Somebody needs to make a movie on the production of this film alone!
There was a two-part minseries "Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows," based on her daughter Lorna Luft's memoirs, and co-produced by Lorna, and they played out Judy's famous tall tale in which Victor Fleming berated Bolger, Haley and Lahr for "three dirty hams" when they pulled ahead of Judy on the Yellow Brick Road. Tammy Blanchard played Judy as a teen.
I've seen the musical play version of that movie at the Hale Center Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah 2œ years ago and it was a little bit different from the movie but it was still pretty amazing. I love your videos, keep up the good work. #FunFactFilms
Sounds like the Royal Shakespeare Company adaptation, which is the one most often performed these days. I was blessed to have played the Cowardly Lion in one production of it. :-3
His face so funny for scarecrow
My pelĂcula preferida de toda la vida đđ
I remember watching this for the first time with my father and him pausing, turning to me, and saying âyknow that lady got burnt by the pyrotechnics?â and kid me thought that meant the water actually melted her as well
Okay, THAT'S funny
After listening about the wizard of oz and the special effects I realize back
In the 1939 film due to The facts about Margaret Hamilton is this, in that
Year my Mom she was a Nurse and was stationed in that area but due to
Reports about Margaret Hamilton , the good news was she recovered and
Still had to finish her role as the Witch...all she had to use back at that time
Was cold water and Soap which made skin better.....Buddy Ebsen tried to
Do the Tin Man but couldn't do it...He felt it wasn't his style.....Jack Haley
Had got the role when he asked for it and got the part....Bert Lahr was
Comfortable with his suit on but it was the hot light on stage that got the
Costume hot and had to fix that situation to where he was more comfortable......Ray Bolger was also comfortable as well but there were
Some adjustments that had to be made as well...but still enjoyed both
His Character.....
Alcohol was used to remove Miss Hamilton's make-up, not soap and water.
Buddy Ebsen would have stayed on the movie if it hadn't been for his bad reaction to the make-up. He had no problem with the idea of playing the Tin Woodman.
Lahr was not comfortable in his suit; he said it was like acting with a mattress on.
Bolger's costume was light, and of the three, he had the most range of motion, but he wasn't particularly comfortable either.
Its crazy to think about how much of the effects in this movie hold up
That's because, in general, effects haven't really changed, just been refined. A lot of the methods used in this movie had already been in use since the Silent Era, and more were pioneered by _Wizard's_ FX team. Everything since has been variations on a theme, even CGI, which is a more sophisticated version of the use of animantion.
Wow! Itâs a good thing that safety for films nowadays is SO MUCH BETTER!!!
Tell that to Olivia Jackson, who lost an arm doubling for Milla Jovovich in the last _Resident Evil_ movie, or David Holmes, who is now paralyzed from the neck down after a stunt gone wrong while he was doubling for Daniel Radcliffe in the last _Harry Potter_ film.

What font did you use for the thumbnail for the "wicked witch" text????
She does not get burned in the scene shown in the film. She gets burned in the scene filmed after that. The one in the film had poor timing and the smoke started rising before she was in position. So they tried again and this time she was still above ground when the flames went up. So they used the initial, poorly timed, take of the trick. That is what you see in the movie and in this youtube video.
Fun Fact: during the cowardly Lion scene Judy Garland kept giggling after several takes were ruined director Victor Fleming took her aside and slapped her across the face and told her to go over there and work apparently Victor felt bad for what he did to Judy he told John lee Mahin to punch him in the face Judy heard this and told him that she wouldnât do that instead she kissed him on the nose forgiving him right before she said my goodness what a fuss youâre making you can still see her trying not to laugh but she kept it in

At 3:31 I thought "only over 100? that's not that bad." And then I remembered I live in California.
Of course, so did the cast.
It's a miracle that none of the main actors actually died during production!
Not really; it was a hard slog, but they were at liberty to take a break if anything got really bad. And they did periodically shut off the lights and open the doors to let the hot air out.
Wow, I have never thought I could hear the word hospitalized so many times in a video (lol). Good video though Fun Fact Films! I really liked it. I also followed your Instagram :)
Jack Haley wasn't hospitalized; he got over his eye infection at home.
All of these incidents adds up to making this a very dangerous movie to make. How was it that the director or any of the filmmakers working on this movie wasn't even sued?
Because movies have always been a dangerous business; worse has happened during the making of other movies.
after sweating in that lion costume all day, I'd expect it to get up and walk away on it's own.
I know that's right đđ
The bizarre thing is that Bert Lahr actually *gained* weight during production!

Movies have never been easy to make. They still aren't.
Fun fact : the lions suit is made of real lions
No, just their skins.
With all the injuries and delays how did this movie make it all the way through production???
With American grit and determination. Those people weren't wimps. Judy had a nasty sunburn when they were early in production, but she didn't let it stop her.
No wonder people call this movie cursed.
Why, because accidents happened? Then all the world is cursed.
Roar!
3:40, see, firemen are essential
I know
She survived đ: Margaret appeared on the Paul Lynde Halloween Special with none other than KISS in 1976. đ
Yup! I remember seeing that when it aired-- yes, I'm that old-- and loved seeing her again, especially alongside Witchiepoo.
Iâm surprised nobody died on this set,so dangerous.They didnât give a toss about the safety of the actors/actresses.
*yawn* That's not true. The Screen Actors Guild was already six years into its existence; in fact, its president at that time was Ralph Morgan, brother of Frank. Any work environment can be hazardous, and accidents can happen anywhere. But human beings carry on, at least the ones with guts do.
Nothin' worse than a *stinky lion costume* .
That said, I can't imagine any other actor nailing the nuances of the Cowardly Lion the way in which Bert Lahr did.
He was born to play that part!
1:35, so cute.
the vast majority of the outtakes, deleted scenes from this iconic film are sadly believed to have been destroyed long ago, lost to history, except for the Scarecrow dance, thats the only deleted scene to completely survive.
That's right; in those days, anything that wasn't used was pitched. The only extant bloopers from that era I know about come from "My Man Godfrey," in which it is revealed that Carole Lombard had quite a mouth on her.
I think Ray Bolger died of cancer as a result of the asbestos and the poor dog also suffered and got injured; all the cast suffered all these dangers. I would not put myself through any of that for all the money in the world, not worth it.
I love the movies can you post more and no other cars and scenes
Man, this is so sad!
Also exaggerated and in some cases, untrue.
cool

@@fatimajeanmontero286 "Get your skates on" is an American term.
Wow
Sounds like they had a rough time making the film however it was worth it because the film was made in 1939 and in the year 2022 the movie is still a popular classic, Judy Garland would be amazed and so would Ray bolger and the rest of the çast
Any movie involves hard work, including today.
