For the scene in which the Kid is taken from the Tramp and nearly carted away to a workhouse, Charles Chaplin stated in his autobiography that the young Jackie Coogan was made to cry by his father, who told him that if he would not cry in the scene, he would be sent to an actual workhouse.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When the tramp sits on the curb, he sets down his cane, which then changes position in the next cut.

Movie Goof (continuity error): The brute punches through a brick wall, but the damage pattern changes in later shots.
