The part of Sarah is played by a young Jennifer Connelly, she won an Academy Award for best actress in the film "A Beautiful Mind" and also starred in "The Hulk" & "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" & "House of Sand and Fog".  -Thanks to Tiffani Hunt, Jonathan MacDonald &Amp; AlexJennifer plays a character named Sarah Williams in both Labyrinth and Waking the Dead. -Thanks to SarahDanny John-Jules, was the voice for two of the fieries, he is better known as 'The Cat' from the British sci-fi sitcom, Red Dwarf. -Thanks to A. JohnsonThe screenplay for Labyrinth was written by Monty Python's Terry Jones. -Thanks to JessicaThere is a copy of "Where the Wild Things Are" in Sarah's room. It is a story about a bad little boy who is taken away to a land of monsters. In it, there is character called Ludo -the same name as the monster who Sarah rescues and in turn, befriends in Labyrinth. -Thanks to CherieThere is a Ludo doll in the beginning of the movie (as the camera is panning to the right, it is before the Labyrinth game & the Sir Didymus doll). -Thanks to Michelle RameyAt the end, when Sarah is putting away all of the things she has "grown out of", including the book "The Labyrinth", she conveniently forgets the statue of the Goblin King next to her mirror. Hmmm...Love dies hard, eh? -Thanks to ShannonWhen the little goblin turns over the tile she wrote the arrows on... he says "You're mother was a fraggle, woga woga" while shaking his fist. Obviously a homage to the wonderful "Fraggle Rock" also by Henson. Some of the puppets in "Dark Crystal" seem to have been re-used for Labyrinth. The Podlings seem to have gotten mixed up with some goblins and that astrologist/witch in the Dark Crystal seems the same as the creature that Sarah meets in the trash dump looking area. I think the voices are the same, but I haven't seen either one for a while. Also, the voice sounds a lot like the lady who "boos" Princess Buttercup in "The Princess Bride". -Thanks to WayneAnother Jareth face can be seen as Sarah, Hoggle, etc. walk through a forest after leaving the Bog of Eternal Stench. In fact, the scene reminded me of "Where the Wild Things Are". Look for Jareth in the tree on the right. -Thanks to thedessertqueenThe Jareth faces actually appear 5 times in the movie. Each time an overhead or long shot is taken, a Jareth face is concealed. There is one in every location, but they can only be seen with the wide screen version. The five Jareth faces are supposed to signify him being all knowing and all seeing. See if you can spot them all. -Thanks to DalerIn the scene where Sarah and Hoggle are climbing up the ladder after the run-in with the cleaners, Jareth's face appears below them for a split second. -Thanks to Thanks Leelee KA Jareth face can be seen after Sarah released Ludo from the guards and Hoggle is walking by himself talking about Sarah getting through the labyrinth: if you pause it, you can see the image in the upper left corner of the grass maze. -Thanks to Matthew HoweAnother Jareth face can be seen just after Sarah enters the labyrinth [after the worm directs her towards the entrance]. There is a brief overview of the labyrinth where Sarah is walking and in the top right corner Jareth's face in one of the walls of the labyrinth. To the left of his face there is a ball and to the right there are stairs. Also, one of the hands is pointing directly at it. -Thanks to ArielAfter the scene with the wiseman Sara and Hoggle can be seen in a wide shot of the labyrinth. In the bottom left hand corner of the screen on the floor you can see another face. -Thanks to LauraWhere Sarah is in the Junkyard representation of her room, sitting at her dressing table, in the right hand corner of the screen on the table, you see a doll-model type thing. It is dressed in a long purple coat, has blond/purple hair (if I remember correctly) and looks just like Jareth! -Thanks to AlexlgrahamIn the original script, Jareth came and knocked on Sarah's door, claiming to be a famous actor. He drank her father's whisky and sat on her couch for a while. In the end, she turned him into a goblin and then stepped on him. Terry Jones, who wrote the script for the film and Brain Froud, the conceptual artist, later banded together to write 'The Goblin Companion', 'Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book' and 'Strange Stains and Mysterious Smells'. There is a full sized Hoggle puppet on display at the Unclaimed Baggage Store in Scottsboro Alabama. Apparently it was lost luggage that was never claimed. -Thanks to Jeff MosleyThe name Ambrosias is another name for the mighty wizard Merlin - Sarah's dog is named Merlin and the sheepdog that Sir Didymus uses as a horse is, therefore, called Ambrosias! -Thanks to Laurie MasonThe voice of Hoggle is performed by Jim Henson's son, Brian. Brian has since taken over Henson Studios after his father's tragic death. On the sheilds of the red and blue guards, the runes are not made-up elvish, but actual runes from the vikings. Vikings are where the storys of goblins originated. -Thanks to Raven WillowIn the scene after Sarah wakes up from eating the peach, if you look closely, you will see that all the garbage in the background is other "garbage people" like the "garbage lady". -Thanks to Meghan TorbaThe large metal guard at the end of the movie, guarding the entrance to the Goblin City, was the largest puppet ever made, weighing over 2 tons. -Thanks to Jason PodolakIn Sarah's room (at the beginning and the end of the movie) were a fiery doll, a poster of M. C. Escher art (the maze room at the end of the movie was based on it), a Jareth statue (by her mirror), a jewellery box with a princess going round and round, Sir Didimus and a Hoggle bookend. These were all seen during the movies adventure... -Thanks to Leelee K and MonicaSara's little brother Toby is played by conceptual artist Brian Froud's real son... Toby! There are actually 2 books called "Return to the Labyrinth" with cover art of David Bowie's character on them. -Thanks to Dreamer012778The things found in Sarah's room were there to fuel the idea that it was all a dream, that her subconsciousness used all of these elements to create the Labyrinth and the fact that there wasn't a hole in the bottom of the pot they crawled out of wasn't an accident, it was to further prove that nothing was as it seemed. -Thanks to StephanieThe decorative columns and landscaping in the park at the beginning of the movie are also represented in certain parts of the labyrinth. The owl at the beginning of the film is the Goblin King, checking up on Sarah. He WAS in love with her. When the Goblin King first makes his appearance, he enters the house in the form of an owl. -Thanks to Trish MillerDid you think that the photographs on Sarah's mirror are of her mother and a man who looks remarkably like David Bowie? Well, the guy in the pics is David Bowie. I read somewhere that her mother was a famous actress and she went off with David Bowie. That's why Sarah hates her stepmother so much. She feels as if her stepmother is taking her mother's place. It's kind of like the thing in Peter Pan when the guy who plays the father is the same guy who plays Captain Hook. Having someone you love play the evil guy in the other world. So in Labyrinth, David Bowie really plays two parts. The guy who took away Sarah's mother, and Jareth, the evil goblin king. -Thanks to Gabby R.Sir Didymus' "horse" is a representation of Sarah's own dog. -Thanks to Vanessa SheetsActor Warwick Davis, was a member of the Goblin corps. He played the title character in the movie "Willow," as well as the Ewok, Wicket, that Leia encounters first in "Return of the Jedi". One of the Fireys is played by Kevin Clash, better know as "Elmo" on Sesame Street. -Thanks to Stormy FogleJust Before Jareth gives Hoggle the peach and threatens to make him "Prince of the Land of stench" you'll see him sitting on some rocks. If you look carefully at the rock Jareth is sitting on it's an exact replica of the left side of David Bowie's face! Within a few seconds, the camera moves and you'll see that it is in fact three rocks all strategically placed, there is NO WAY that that is just coincidence! -Thanks to Ashley S.If you turn on Closed Captioning for the scene where they are escaping the Bog of Eternal Stench, whenever anyone steps on a stone, it will say "fart" because of the funny noise it makes. My kids get the biggest kick out of this! (Ok, I do too!) -Thanks to StinkerbelleRight after Sarah turns around to discover her marks are being changed and meets the "one of us always tells the truth and one of us always lies" doors, if you look closely at the wall behind her, the stones are in the shape of US states, including Texas, Oklahoma, etc. -Thanks to Alyssa TWhen all of Sarah's lipstick marks are being changed, one of the 'brownies' changing them jumps up and down and screams "Your mother was a freaking aardvark!" -Thanks to Kael MuellerThe urn sitting on a metal table with no hole is obviously intentional. It's supposed to show a magical occurence, much like how Sarah walks through the wall after speaking to the worm. -Thanks to Dan WelchOn the shields of the red and blue guards, elvish runes can be seen. These runes are the common written language in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings. -Thanks to J.R. WeberWhen Sarah is trapped with all of the orange/red monsters, watch her face. When one comes up behind her instead of being scared she gives a big smile!! So cute! Watch for it! -Thanks to LaurenAs Sarah and friends are entering the goblin city you can see a bottle of milk sitting outside one of the gates. -Thanks to Alida« Click here to add some Labyrinth trivia Rediscover your favorites!

Labyrinth was mainly filmed on the soundstages of Thorn EMI Elstree Studios in London. Sarah's home is actually located located in Upper Nyack, NY, on North Broadway on the river side of the street between First Avenue and Hook Mountain. I just drove up to memorial park in Nyack, yesterday, and it doesn't look a thing like the park in the movie. [Thanks to Robert Aspinall] The park in the opening shot is Memorial Park on the river. Can you help? Do you know any of the New York, New York filming locations used for Labyrinth? [Please send them in] | |||||||||||||||||||||||

This is an excellent soundtrack from the movie. It is still popular and has remained in print for many years. David Bowie wrote and performed five or six of the tracks. The Bowie-written numbers are #3, #5, #7, #9 and #12 and also the Underground part of #1. The rest of the tracks are instrumental and were composed by Trevor Jones, who also composed the music for Henson's "The Dark Crystal." A side note: the songs "Underground" and "Magic Dance" were released with a dance mix as singles on vinyl. At the beginning of the song "Magic Dance" David Bowie sings "you remind me of a Babe, Babe with the power, power of voodoo, who do? you do!" etc. this is the same lyric in the 2002 Scooby-Doo movie but changed slightly by the Atomic Fireballs singing "You remind me of a Man, a man with the power, the power of voodoo, who do? you do!" etc. They claim they wrote it and used it in an album in '99 when, in fact, it was actually first used in Vaudville stage acts back in the 20's. David Bowie also modified it in '86 and used it in this movie. -Thanks to Laura &Amp; JenniferThe old vaudeville routine you mention, "You remind me of a man" etc, also appears in the movie "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer" starring Cary Grant. It's a very funny scene. -Thanks to Zach HoskinsIn the song "Magic Dance", the baby giggle is actually David Bowie because the baby that he wanted to use wouldn't make a sound. -Thanks to Meghan TorbaThe song played under the battle in the goblin city (I think it's just called "Battle of the Goblin City") is also the main music in the c64 game "The Vikings" from 1987. -Thanks to Jens K HansenAmong those involved with Labyrinth musically were singer/actress Daphne Rubin-Vega from the Broadway musical "Rent", who was one of the backup vocalists in the song "Underground", as were Chaka Khan and Luther Vandross! « Click here to add new music trivia for Labyrinth Soundtrack Available: On CD | |||||||||||||||||||||||
