* {{Blooper}}: In the widescreen vesion, at 9:40 in, in the Bethesda Fountain baptism scene, right after John the Baptist sings "Everybody now!", if you look to the upper right there is a man in a pastel shirt in a green rowboat who turns his boat and heads offscreen. This is cropped out of the 4:3 version.
** While the movie is supposed to take place in an empty New York City, it is debateable exactly when the people disappear from the city. There are lots of people in Central park as the principal players run down the paths to the fountain - it may only truly empty out during "God Save the People."
** There's also one other instance, again right when New York is going from empty to full. As the troupe carries Jesus to the corner they finally go around and The People come streaming around - you can see a person walking on the other side of the street. However just as with the man in the boat, it's close enough to the switchover - indeed in the same scene - it's excusable.
* HeyItsThatGuy: In the 1973 film, Jesus is [[Film/{{Titanic}} Mr. Andrews]] / [[Series/{{Alias}} Jack Bristow]], and one of the disciples was [[WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego the Chief.]]
** Maria from ''Series/SesameStreet'' sings "Turn Back, O Man".
** JoanOfArcadia's father/God is one of the cast members.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: For decades, there was ''no'' home release of ''Godspell''. The ''first'' VHS tape was released in the mid-90's, and was ''taped off Creator/{{Cinemax}}.'' (you can hear the "Next on [=Cinemax=]" right after the film ends!).
* TheOtherDarrin: A few, but memorably Lamar Alford, who was replaced by Merrell Jackson for ''All Good Gifts'', and Jackson's performance is ''markedly'' better.
* ThrowItIn: An integral part of the show.
* Much to the surprise of folks who like seeing where actors are now, the cast of the film has had a surprising number of deaths (one third) considering such a small cast in their 20's during filming 30 years ago. By 2013:
** Dave Haskell (John/Judas) died in 2000
** Merrell Jackson (Garment worker, who sings "All good things) died in 1991
** Jeffrey Mylett (Taxi driver - Derby hat, plays the recorder) died in 1986
** Lynne Thigpen (Library student - Sings "Oh Bless the lord My Soul") died in 2003
