• Movie Goof (continuity error): The direction of the merry-go-round changes just before young Pink is put on it.
• According to Bob Geldof's autobiography, (which also mentions the Supergirl body mould), when filming the scene where the groupie starts sucking Pink's fingers (before he smashes up the room in "One of My Turns"), Jenny Wright couldn't get the scene right. She asked director Alan Parker what her motivation was for the scene, and he replied, "money". She got it right on the next take.
• Roger Waters originally conceived the Wall film as a starring vehicle for himself; his lackluster screen test led to the casting of, ironically, another musician with no prior acting experience, Bob Geldof.
• The Wall tour (in support of the album) originally ran through 1980, in Los Angeles, New York, and Earl's Court (London) (the nature of the material, and the scale of the stage production, prohibited a large-scale tour). When the movie was green-lighted, Pink Floyd performed five more shows at Earl's Court, which were filmed with the intention of being incorporated into the movie but the resulting footage was deemed unsuitable for use. Over the years, numerous suggestions have been made that this footage could be used to make a concert film, but Roger Waters, who owns all rights to the footage, has been working on remastering the concerts off and on in recent years.
