* A small one, but during the sequence of "Be Back Soon", Oliver, Dodger and the children are just about to leave on the boat, as Fagin dances along the roof. Then he hears a singular voice sing the chorus line delicately and cheerfully to him. He turns sharply and sees Oliver tipping his hat to him. Fagin allows a gentle and touched smile on his face as he and the dodger leave together.

* In "I'd Do Anything," Fagin makes the boys promise that they'd "risk the drop" (execution by hanging) for him. But by the end of "Reviewing the Situation," he's decided that he doesn't actually want anyone to get hurt for him, and after the Reprise decides to start his criminal enterprise over without the crew of expendable accomplices to take the fall (minus Dodger, of course).
* It gets him into plenty of trouble, but Oliver's genuine innocence and wonder as he moves into his new surroundings, proving that the workhouse didn't break him after all.

* Like quite a few child actors of the era, Mark Lester, Oliver's actor in the film, ended up dabbling with drugs as a teenager. However, unlike most of his contemporaries, he managed to turn his life around as a young adult, retiring from his acting career to pursue his education, ultimately becoming a certified osteopath.
* The fact that the dog playing Bullseye adored Oliver Reed ''so much'' that he had to have his tail taped to his leg in the scenes where he's supposed to be afraid of Sikes, as he couldn't stop wagging his tail whenever he saw him.

* In a TearJerker way, Nancy's devotion and love for Sykes (as expressed in her song "As Long As He Needs Me") to the point that she's willing to protect him from jail. Too bad the bastard ends up killing her.

* Exclusive to the ''Oliver!'' movie. Fagin, lost and broken with nowhere to go, decides to pull a HeelFaceTurn and become a new man, until the [[LoveableRogue Artful Dodger]] emerges from behind a lamppost, offering him a wallet he has filched earlier. Fagin inspects it, before the two sing a reprise of "Reviewing the Situation" accepting their status as criminals and HeterosexualLifePartners.
