CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (1968) | Me Ol’ Bam-boo

The choreography of this piece is incredible. I loved this movie as a kid and 60 years later, it still puts a smile on my face. Thanks for posting
Me too

It the head of the decade, DvD couldn't dance. He was a radio and TV announcer and had a mime act with a partner on the side. He auditioned for Bye Bye Birdie as a background singer but performed "Put on a Happy Face" in the audition.
They gave him the lead. He protested that he didn't know how to dance. The director and choreographer said WE'LL TEACH YOU.
BOY did they. He was a natural.
I've seen an interview a few years back where he said this was the one routine that he could barely do at the time and certainly couldn't do now. So apparently he rates it the most difficult dance sequence he ever had to do.
@@jenniferhanses then it is genius of the choreographer to cast him as the behind the step fool in the Morris Dance routine.
Like getting an actor that can't stay in key for a song...having them simply say the words as a slower poem. That's an old theater trick.
Anyone ever wonder how this musical number was originally supposed to go before the main character stumbled into it?
Interesting thought.
It makes it even funnier to think about how for one show. The group basically made Caraticus their front man.
No idea. But, I bet it was still as good as this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or what they planned to do with the extra pole if he hadn’t been there to grab it. I like the way you think.
They're just REALLY good at improv dancing on the fly.
Consider the hours of choreography and sweat that went into this dance sequence. Incredible talent by all to pull it off. They don’t make em like this anymore!
Choreographed by Dee Dee Wood, and Marc Breaux. This duo also choreographed The Sound of Music, and Mary Poppins
I loved this scene as a child for the light-hearted and fun nature. At 32, I still feel that way, but have a MUCH deeper appreciation for how talented this scene alone was, let alone the entire movie
@@YavE4 Goes to show that Hollywood has lost a lot of talent over the years
He's out of time and yet snaps straight into it. What a talented man.
I can't imagine what sort of talent it takes to be purposefully, yet synchronously, out of sync.
And you've got to appreciate that smile at the end, which seems to say "Wow...I can't believe that I pulled that off" which is what you would expect of someone who came into that dance unprepared.
@@Mechjoc First time I watched this as a kid, I had no idea he was actually slightly out of sync with the rest of the cast. That is some grade A acting.
@@tonytinsthat might just be your eyes because it’s extremely obvious.
@@A4000 I was a kid. What do you expect? xD
Awesome remembering these old wonderful musicals! He was a master in the art of dance! Loved all his Disney movies! This was made the year I was born!
This isn't a disney movie though.
It's made by the same people who made James bond at the time.
@@jonahthrane812Don’t forget Roald Dahl
@@rexfariss5653 yes screenplay by the legend Roald Dahl.
My favorite scene as a kid from this movie! I'm only 32, but this brings me waaaaay back to my childhood.
As a side comment, watching this 25 years later, I'm so impressed with the production of this scene - let alone the whole movie!
The fact that he winged it just to avoid getting killed… classic
And he got enough money to get the car
Do you have any idea how hard it is to do a large elaborate song and dance number like this and intentionally be out of step with everyone else?
This was the first movie I ever watched. Loved it then - love it now. During my first year of school (kindergarten,) I even carried around a Chitty lunch box and wish I still had it.
This is when actors and actoress had talent!!! They didn't need special cameras or computers to make them look good!!!
It's the fact that he is now like 1,000 years old and still moving and dancing like this
Well, almost. He said about a decade ago in an interview that he could still remember and perform every other dance except this one...at the time he "could barely do it then, let alone now." It's why he walks off during the musical bridge...at age 44, he didn't have the stamina to do the whole thing through and needed a break.
@@paul16451 He sells it well, if that's the case. It definitely comes off as an in-world attempt at departure.
@@paul16451 It was also during the filming of the movie, I believe during the scene in the candy factory that he hurt himself and at the docs office was told it was arthritis finally rearing it's head. He's a late "old person bloomer", hahaha. Love that man.
I remember back in elementary school we would all go to the library and they would put this up on the projector for us to watch. This and that Don Notts turning into a fish cartoon. Escape from Witch mountain. Are the ones I remember. We always felt like we were getting this huge treat back then.
Don Knotts movie was The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Just watched that again last weekend.
Haha❣️This appears in my recommended after looking up how to tie bamboo stakes together. Loved this movie as a child (born in ‘64).
It's crazy how timeless it is. I also grew up with this movie. I was born in '00 though
I saw this in the cinema as a kid of about 6 years old. It seems strange now that this musical number was considered children's entertainment at the time.
It’s a family film. Adults love it too.
The PG-13 rating didn’t exist until Spielberg campaigned for it over JAWS in 1975. In those days a G rating was to maximize Theater and broadcast revenue, and it did.
@@gen-ambI thought it was "Temple of Doom" that was the reason for the creation of the PG 13 rating?
@@reginabillottiThat film, "Poltergeist" and "Gremlins" were the reason to consider the creation of the PG-13 rating, at the recommendation of Steven Spielberg, who was friends with the head of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America, now just called the MPA) at the time.
Great point. It's certainly a family film for all ages, especially for standards back in the day...
But at the end of the film, during the surprise attack, Bulgarian soldiers are definitely being killed by the falls off the ramparts. I recently rewatched the movie (reaffirmed my love for this movie) and completely forgot people were being "killed" in this movie. I guess as a kid, it never really sank in with me or crossed my mind
"A bag of W33D" brought me to this masterpiece.
The movie was running the other day and I was singing about James Woods. My daughter pointed out the other Family Guy riff. I hadn't even realized it until then.
😂
Honestly, I'm not a musical person so I've only ever found these movies bc of Family Guy references
ew
Well, bamboo is technically grass so.... yeah.
I just love how they manage to make his choreography truly look like he doesn't, bur is keeping up and it just subtly makes him the lead!! Brilliant!!!! Only DVD
The song has always stuck in my mind, but I had never seen this number that it came from. Wow, it was really good!
I recall my family watching this movie at the drive-in theatre when I was 8 years old. It was a wonderful movie.
They just let Potts go at it cuz why not, perfect showmanship
I just did this show as a morris dancer! (The dancers in the video) it was soooo much fun, but very exhausting!!
Great movie
I have loved this movie since I was a child but especially this number got new meaning after I read his autobiography. he felt like an old man with the dancers but we know he might age but he is never going to be old!
For anyone interested in the lyrics:
"Me ol' bamboo,
Me ol' bamboo,
* unintelligible *...
Me ol' bamboo"
The end
A song from Family Guy is what brought me here.
WOW 😲 Very first time I've seen this WOW 😲 Perfect !!
Watch the whole movie it's really really good
He was quite a phenomenon given that he had no acting or dancing training at all.
Well he got most of it when he landed the lead on Bye Bye Birdie a few years before. They wanted his voice talent and told him they'd teach him acting and dance. A natural if I ever saw one.
Happy, positive, wholesome. Boy, has our country fallen.
Times were way harder when this came out as compared to now. We still had one foot in the days of ration books!
one of my favorite childhood movies! i love this part very much. i also like the part where they sing in the candy factory about toot sweets. the scene where they play as dolls for the court is splendid as well. all around, this film is awesome and will always remain in my heart as one of the best.
I love how he just stumbled there because he needed to escape from an angry man, and then basically stole the show. And gosh! That choreography! Incredible!
And the fact that 2 seconds later the angry man suddenly disappeared never to be seen again...😂😂😂
At 32 seconds, you can see a small slip up to the left when they're initially grabbing their bamboos. Makes this scene just that much better. I have such a deep appreciation for this movie ever since I was a kid.
Stressmonster reminded me of this. Had to listen again.
I remember helping my sister choreograph a routine to this for the drill team. It was fun!
I remember when my mom took me to the theater to see this forthe first time. It was magical and still is to this day!
You just don't see this quality in movies nowadays, you just don't. The Golden Age is behind us.
To be fair, the choreography is actually remarkably simple. Modern cinematography is far more sophisticated. This sequence was pioneering in its day, but movies do far better now.
@@Amosian10 I'd agree if not 1 has to be out of sync with the rest, which is suprisingly difficult. Having even more difficult choreography it would make it even harder to be out of sync and still look good / funny on screen.
Oh shut up. Amazing things are produced every year. You like this, we get that, but get a life. You can't seriously be claiming this scene was the absolute peak of film production ever?
@@markfox1545 if you read what i said.... i admire the one doing everything out of sync on purpose what makes this more impressive to me.
@@markfox1545 no need to be so negative man besides I get where they are coming from as someone who loves movies and film I just can't get excited for anything coming out recently.
Coloring in my sketchbook to hang onto my sanity. Thank you 1:23 for this video.
Good catch at 0.32!
We need more songs about how awesome a good stick is
one of the most brilliant pieces of choreography i have ever seen thank you!!
Choreographed by Dee Dee Wood, and Marc Breaux. This duo also choreographed The Sound of Music, and Mary Poppins
I am not that into musicals but this one particularly this number is so awesome.
The formations are amazing and I am certain the main guy had to work fairly hard to pull off the whole being a measure off thing
🎶"A Gentle Breeze...from Hushabye Mountain...."🎶......I know it's not in this scene, but I always think of this song when I see any clips from this movie......which is ALL OF THE TIME. 💖
“Truly Scrumptious…. You’re truly, truly scrumptious….” This one is what plays when I think of this movie. That and the doll scene.
This movie will last for a lifetime in the hearts of children and adults 💝 it was so magical and unforgettable 😮😅😊❤❤🎉🎉
Wow that takes me back to my reall young days!!!
Definitely one of the best family fun kind of movies that will be loved forever 💟❤🎉😅😊
Classic 😊!
I wonder how many takes this took?
On the documentary they said it was one take .
Our late friend Jimmy was one of the babmoo dancers. I think he's the little chap in the back row. He was also a sweep in Maori Parpins.
Had to read your "Maori Parpins" out loud twice, then busted out laughing!
I think I have heard one of the sweeps was in the movie "Enchanted" as an old man dancer.
Watching this scene I had the feeling a majority of the guys in this number were ex-sweeps from Mary Poppins!
Yeah right. MP was filmed in California, CCBB was filmed at Pinewood Studios in England
I'd say it's about time for a remake of that movie.
個人的にチキチキバンバンで、いや、今まで見てきた映画の中でもトップクラスに好きな場面です。
今見ても、楽しく幸せな気分になります（散髪に失敗した方は気の毒ですが…）。
I was brought here by nostalgia.
Wasn’t this the choreography he said was the hardest he’s ever done?
This song, along with Toot Sweets, is the only thing I remember from this movie. I don't care for any other part but this one.
This film is actually fantastic
Have a go mate! 1:08
😂 I love that line.
You know...I never could figure out which one said that line!
Choreographed by Dee Dee Wood, and Marc Breaux. This duo also choreographed The Sound of Music, and Mary Poppins
Had to look this up after seeing it on ant and dec Saturday night takeaway
Oh no the ear worm of my childhood
A true classic masterpiece
I got the soundtrack of this in ‘68 for passing my 11+. Cor blimey!
My favorite movie
My dad hated this song because my brother and I tried to re-enact it with bamboo canes or cricket stumps. It was fine for me but my little brother was not well-coordinated and managed to whack himself in the kneecaps and the face.
Dayum
Love it
This reminds me of the "Kyle's mom is a b..." song from South Park 😂
Incredible
The ol' bamboozle on w Broadway
I was watching this movie in Spain in February with my twin nieces who do not speak English and one of them was protesting "I do not understand!!!!". And I told her: learn to understand and sit down. Then when this part started they started to dance in front of me and when they started to move their crazy legs one of them said: How do they do that???? is that CGI????
Me and the boys with the old bamboo 😂
I can't be the only one who wants to get all my friends together and learn this.
They truly don’t make movies like these that are just pure fun, too much violence, too much sappy romance. Even Disney doesn’t make movies like they used to, it’s really sad
Very Good
My favourite part💚
I ❤ that song.
This movie is older than man landing on the moon.
TOP FAVE movie
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's my favorite part
If that doesn’t make you smile, you’re wrong…SO wrong.
They don't make them like that anymore. Movies like this are practically endangered species, makes them all the more precious and important for those of us who grew up with this
Family guy brought me here
sorry you had to find out through the worst of the animated sitcoms
Crazy to think this movie was from the same author as the James Bond books.
Who was D.V.D running from when he got into this act anyway?
He was running from the large man with the odd haircut that he shied away from in the beginning of the number.
The reason why is that in order to earn money for his family, widower with 2 children, he as an inventor went to a fair with an automatic hair cutting machine. His one and only patron was given a truly terrible do, and went a little off on D.V.D, chasing how through the fair and D.V.D hid in the "green room" of the dance troupe, leading to his stint in the dance.
Long winded, I am sorry, but this is one of my favorite dance numbers of all time.
Wonder how any takes they did of this?
.. I had to click 😅
It took me too long to realise this is the only reason they were able to get the car
Choreography isn't dead, watch "Jailhouse Tango" from 'Chicago". Thank God it's still alive!
And he's doing all this so he can buy an old junker car for his kids
1:12 A collier, like the Prince of Wales
We think these are the same dancers from the Mary Poppins movie
They are Indeed
Whos here from Family Guy? 😂
Me Ol’ Bam-boo !
Me Ol’ Bam-boo !
welewlhwewelewlhwewelewlhwe Me Ol’ Bam-boo !!

Dont make films like, this, no more so sad 😢
But this, is funny if you watch the bit leading to this 😅
i miss these types of movies..back then when you had to have talent to be in movies.
Now theyll hire anyone whos trending with no talent....
These were musicals. Now it looks like everyone's having seizures.
