You mean the people in the street or the people that go into the factory? I don't recall only half the people on the street having accents. Maybe I'm mistaken as its been a while.
 
Hollywood.

Where else can you find 50 little midgets that allow you to paint them green, dye their hair red, make them wear parachute pants, and run around going "Ooompa loompa doompa groompa dimpty dank."
 
It was filmed in Germany.

80. During the filming the crew ran into a small problem. You see, the movie was filmed in Germany but they needed American cars to set the setting in the U.S.. Diana Sowle (Mrs. Bucket) came to the rescue. At the time she was living on a U.S. military base in Germany so she asked her American neighbors if they could borrow their cars for the film. Several agreed and the problem was solved. The crew had the American cars that they needed to line the streets in the film.

everyone in the movie....

The teacher has an english accent, the candyman, a bunch of other people..... But charlie's whole family and most of the students have an American accent.

The money that slugsworth appears to flash seems to be in pounds.

Im confused.
 
What year was this movie made? I still remember it and the last time I saw it it brought back a few memories 🙂 Those little oompas are a little scary 😛

Carl Hag respectfully asked Willie Wonka, on 12/27/2003 11:12:20 AM,

In the movie, what city was used as the setting. Is it rothenburg gernmany?

Willie Wonka replies:
You mean the old, broken down city? That was Newark. --Wonka PS The Chocolate river was the actual river that runs through Newark. We had to film around the occasional floating bodies.

Willie Wonka replies:
The factory is in the magical city of Newark, NJ. Notice the chocolate river? That's not really chocolate; that's just the normal city water supply.

I don't think so, I saw it on one of the cable premium channels as one of those "between the movies" things. two oompa loompas were hanging out in the dressing room bitching about the kids and the pay, it was pretty good 🙂

edit--google to the rescue... watch Bit Players here.

Actually, if you have ever had the displeasure and most punishing experience of being to Newark, NJ, then the above makes perfect sense. It is a shithole of the highest order and I truely wish something could be done to rid the world of Newark and all who dwell there.

Yeah, the Bud brewery is one of the VERY few good points about Newark. That, and the airport so you can get the hell away from Newark. :beer:
