      MJ's acting skills are beyond imagination

      Seeing the scarecrow played by MJ, that kind of lack of self-confidence and kind-hearted quality was very well played by MJ,

      especially the kind of lack of self-confidence, MJ gave the impression of being a superstar in the later period, and you can watch it in this movie It's really rare to be such a pitiful MJ (*^__^*) Hee hee...

      Of course, it was this movie that made MJ get acquainted with Quincy Jones, and then "thriller" was born.

      In fact, I think the filming...

    Movie quotes

    • Scarecrow: Now I'll never get my brain!

      Tinman: Nor my heart.

      Lion: Or my courage

      Dorothy: But you don't need them now because you've had them all the time. Scarecrow, you're the one who figured out how to find the yellow brick road and how to destroy Evillene, and every smart move we've made, didn't you? Lion, you wouldn't even give up when Evillene strung you up by your tail. And, Tin Man, you have more heart than anyone I've ever known.

      Tinman: [hopeful] Honest?

      Dorothy: Yeah, you never needed anything from the fake wizard, anyway.

    • Dorothy: You mean, you sent us to kill Evillene, knowing we might never come back?

      The Wiz: She would have killed me, she would have found out I had no power, and took over Oz.

      Dorothy: That's no excuse.

    • Dorothy: He must really be in shock!

      Tinman: Oh, what I wouldn't give to be in shock! Just Once!
