John C. Reilly is such a clown enthusiast, he insisted on designing his own clown make-up for "Mister Cellophane". It was also his idea to incorporate Amos' application of the make-up during the number. See more »
Goofs
When Velma and Roxie are dancing in the final scene, they come out with the guns, and start dancing with them. They put the guns down on the stage and walk away to do a cartwheel. In the shot of their actual cartwheels, the guns are suddenly placed in a stand. But when they pick them up, the stands have disappeared. See more »

Alternate Versions
The musical number "Class," featuring Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones, was deleted from the final version of the film. However, it was recut into the movie for a brief, extremely limited theatrical re-release in the summer of 2003. It then appeared on DVD as a bonus feature, but was NOT intercut there. See more »
Switching gears between cabaret scenes and actual scenes in songs was really well done!
Everyone sang beautifully
Also thought that there was a reason for it to be nominated for Best Picture, even winning it.
