- Charlie Chaplin as The Tramp, who, while running away from the police (who mistook him for a pickpocket) runs into a circus big top and is an (unintentional) comedy hit. The circus owner finds that Charlie can't be funny when they want him to be, so he gets a job as a janitor who "accidentally" winds up as part of the act every night.

The ape arms Burke and another human with sticks, ordering them to fight. Galen asks a guard the way to the slave pen, posing as a foreigner. All humans, the guard says, are used in the Circus. Kobal gives Urko a tour of the city, saying humans in the Circus are taught to fight each other for food. Galen watches as Burke injures a young man with kendo moves. Ordered not to help the boy, and seeing Urko in the stands, he beats the boy badly so he can leave the arena before being spotted. Unaware of Urko's presence, Alan sneaks in to find them. As the 'Great Tournament' begins, pairs of humans begin fighting at the sound of a gong. The winners are promised freedom, but instead are executed so Kobal can mate the weaker humans and reduce the chance of rebellion. Burke is called to fight in the next round, but he knocks out his guard and runs with Galen for an exit, inadvertently entering the Circus arena. Urko recognizes Burke and stands to capture him, but loud bells pierce the air, vibrating the masonry to pieces. Everyone runs for cover as the building collapses. Virdon tells his friends he found bells in the Met's sound room. Sadly surveying the fallen opera house, the fugitives continue their flight.

- Charlie Chaplin as The Tramp, who, while running away from the police (who mistook him for a pickpocket) runs into a circus big top and is an (unintentional) comedy hit. The circus owner finds that Charlie can't be funny when they want him to be, so he gets a job as a janitor who "accidentally" winds up as part of the act every night. Charlie falls in love with the owner's daughter, Merna the circus rider, and determines to save her from her abusive father. She however only considers him a friend, and instead falls in love with Rex, the circus' tightrope walker. Charlie tries to impress her by also learning to walk the tightrope, but almost gets killed in the process. Eventually, Merna runs away from the Circus, so the Tramp convinces Rex to marry her to keep her safe. They then return to the circus, but Charlie stays behind, going back to being a tramp. Less well remembered than his previous effort, The Gold Rush, or his next features City Lights and Modern Times. Plagued with production difficulties both internal (a fire destroyed much of the set) and external (production took place during Chaplin's ugly, public divorce battle with Lita Grey, causing Chaplin to smuggle portions of the film out of Hollywood to prevent Grey's attorneys from seizing it.) Chaplin was awarded a special Academy Award for "versatility and genius in acting, writing, directing and producing The Circus".
* Abusive Parents: Merna's father is quite cruel to her.
* All Part of the Show: The Tramp gets chased by the cops through the circus, to the delight of the crowd.
* Bad Bad Acting: The Tramp can't be funny on command.
* Bad Boss: The circus owner.
* Bittersweet Ending: The Tramp frees the girl from her father, but loses her, and is left alone, leading him back to tramping again, but he gets over his funk with his usual aplomb and is on his way with his usual hopeful spirit intact.
* The Circus Runaway: Inverted, Merna runs away from it.
* The Danza: Merna, played by Merna Kennedy.
* Denied Food as Punishment: Merna, by her father.
* Did Not Get the Girl
* Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune: "Swing, Little Girl", sung by Chaplin
* Exactly What It Says on the Tin
* Everything's Better with Monkeys: Averted when Chaplin is plagued by monkeys while performing a high-wire routine.
* Friend Zone: Merna cares a lot for the Tramp but only as a friend, and never realizes what he feels for her.
* Hall of Mirrors: possibly the Trope Maker.
* Hot Pursuit: By a cop, through a Hall of Mirrors and into a circus tent. Probably the Crowning Moment of Funny.
* Nice Kitty...: Charlie in the lion cage.
* No Name Given: except for Merna and her boyfriend Rex, no one has names.
* Non-Ironic Clown
* The Paolo: The Tramp for Merna and Rex.
* Plot Hole: Rex's absence on the day Charlie had to replace him was never explained.
* and why did the mule hate Charlie so much?
* Plot Induced Stupidity: Charlie was hilarious when he stumbled into the big top show, but he can't be funny on command. The circus master's solution is to have Charlie "accidentally" stumble into the act over and over again. Somehow Charlie does not figure out he is star of the show.
* Troubled Production
