As i little kid i used to ask mom to rewind and play this reveal scene over and over again. What magic! This is the most beautiful car ever made. No contest.
Well....at least until you see a Lamborghini Miura, Mercedes 300SL, Jensen FF, Jaguar E-type, Renault Alpine A110, BMW 3.0 CSL, Ferrari 365 P, Jaguar XKSS, Lancia Stratos, or Porsche 917...
@@tylersimmons7105 YUCK to all of them.... They may be your style but they're certainly not mine. Taste in automobiles is purely subjective. Chitty and Brass Era all the way for me, more power to you if you prefer them but to me they are fugly.
Love Chitty's big reveal scene, the scoring and the car are just beautiful. When you see the carr rolling out of that garage and hear that music you just get a feeling of warmth, pride and accomplishment. Brilliant movie.
Probably one of the greatest character reveals in cinematic history, yes I said character, Chitty might be a car, but this movie characterised the automobile. Quite possibly one of if not the greatest movie vehicles in cinematic history. I’m 21 and grew up with this gem of a movie, my grandfather showed this movie to me as a child, unfortunately he has now passed on to the other side, but his memory lives on every time I watch this movie. RIP Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jefferies and Benny Hill and to my Grandfather🥺❤️ Legendary movie this, and a timeless classic❤️
Robert and Richard Sherman, who wrote sooo manny classic songs for Disney, including for Mary Poppins. There are a lot of Disney connections with this film.
The build Up from the previous scenes, to the in-scene tension and angst of the transformation, to the out of nowhere reveal. The doors slowly opened as the majestic music played and she was revealed, GEN 11, the most beautiful car ever made, basked in all of her glory. Simply amazing moment as in my opinion, on of the best scenes and best build ups to a scene in movie history. The pacing was on point, it was prolonged yet it wasn't rushed. The cast and crew for this film should be incredibly proud of themselves for scenes like this and the movie itself
The bit by bit scenes of Caractacus putting the car back together shows what a master builder and craftsman he really is, the people who built these cars were exactly like him! Patient, slow, and focused!
Probably one of my favorite film moments of all time! I still get goose bumps when Chitty comes out of the garage for the first time, just as I did as a young boy!
Simon a man after my own heart. I am the same, goose bumps, massive smile the works. Fantastic scene, fills me with pride and joy, every time I've seen it since I was young! I'm only 19 now!
Even after all these years...seeing the doors open and Chitty coming out into the sun...newly reborn and gleaming...😂 brings tears to an old mans eyes and makes that little kid he once was jump in magical wonder and glee❤️❤️ thank you Dick for the memories and thank you to those that kerp Chitty alive and not sitting in some scrap pile😉
In the novel, I seem to remember that it's implied that sometimes when Caractacus begins work on the vehicle each day, he notices that little things have changed, as if Chitty has her own ideas about how she should be restored.
When I was 4 or 5 I used to love this movie so much that on this scene, i'd pause it, and get all my family to come in a watch the car come out, everytime. I was obsessed. In the end mum and dad hid the vhs so I wouldn't keep asking them lmao. It has to probably be the best memory i have of my childhood :)
I can't remember how many movies I grew up on during my childhood, but Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was always one of my favorites. I love the scene where Chitty is finally done and she comes rolling out of the garage.
The vision of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is as magical as I remember it. It is by far one of the most beautiful cars ever created by man. I still dream of being behind the wheel of Chitty driving through the streets of my hometown in Wisconsin.
Boy, did the Sherman Bros. know their craft. I don’t have to be watching the film, just listening to the music to know EXACTLY what’s going on and I still get goosebumps!
@@TheModernPainterthe score mostly consists of instrumental renditions of the Shermans’ songs, though, arranged and conducted by Kostal. But agreed, Kostal was an essential talent in his own right.
I love the Brass Age detail, from the chain drive down to the auto club badges on the radiator. One of the most beautiful cars ever created for the screen - she is a true work of art and a tribute to the pride of pre-mass production craftsmanship that existed in the time period in which this movie is set.
When I saw that car rolled out for the first time it was the most magical thing I had ever seen. For a little boy watching this in the early 70s it was the most inspiring moment imaginable. My heart still skips a beat even today.
Everyone, it's okay. Caractacus use to be a Chimney Sweep. He was 100% fully qualified to take out the metal guard around fire place and that mess he made, it's just good, clean soot.
this is one of those movies that when you watch it, takes you away to a happy place, shutting out all the bad things going on in the world if only for a couple of hours.
imagine being an old man in the modern day, looking up from your rocking chair and seeing your crazy son pushing a 10 year old Burnt LMP car up the driveway.
How many parents through the years have stood and watch their motor-head kids drag some old junk box primer painted future muscle/hot rod up the driveway and into the garage?
When was a kid I saw his movie and thought it was about a fantastic magic car but now as a grown man finally I see exactly why this movie is all about ...A father who works day and night to make sure he takes care of his kids and aging father so they have a good home and food on table and when his kids ask for something he didn't have the heart to let them down so he went out and worked through the night and following days possibly weeks to make their dreams come thru Dick Can Dyke plays what all men need to drive to become a father that puts his kids and family first
If you listen you can here the music for the song you two when chitty comes out and its almost like chitty is saying thank you to the kids . Also the fact this is purely a act of love from a father to his kids is lovely.
Agreed. Always thought the score was lovely here- full of charm (the assembly), magic (the bedtime story), and even suspense in the last few seconds when the children are looking out the window wondering if the car's ever gonna be finished. And, of course, the reveal is magnificent. An "Oz Technicolor" moment.
This Marry Poppins, Willi Wonka and Wizard of Oz are what I loved watching when I was a kid! Though this was my favorite of them all! Now my kids watch them!
I sure did. Also drove behind it when I was looking for the car it was parked at the roundabout going to a shopping centre to be shown off, I followed it's there
The scene with Chitty coming out of the shed is probably the second, if not first, most iconic scene from the movie. Only tied with when she goes into the castle driverless near the end.
At 37 seconds Lionel Jefferies says "that's a nice pile of junk you got there my boy " Me and my brother used to restore old classic cars in our spare time and whenever I got a new project car to rebuild he would say this, always made us laugh. Sadly the mad sod is no longer with us, but whenever I see this it makes me smile.
Chitty chitty bang bang is such a beautiful car Mr Potts did an amazing job fixing her up its amazing what a little customization work can do turning an old rust bucket of a car into something brand new when chitty chitty bang bangs restoration is finally completely she looks just like a shiny brand new car rolling off the assembly line
On my brother's birthday we went to a car museum in England and I was just walking around and I saw something gold and silver behind some other cars and when I walked closer it felt like this scene I saw the beautiful car from my childhood chitty chitty bang bang (flying version) it was so magical.
When I was little and watch this on TV, the music from the Maaco commercial played in my head at the part where he was welding the car 1:55 because it reminded me of the same image in that commercial. "Uh oh, better get Maaco!" Funny how that's stayed in my head all these years.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Sure they are. If you're the kind of person who likes doing their own basic auto maintenance, like changing brake pads, alternators, etc, but all the way up to dismantling the engine.
This film was made 56yrs ago. Dick Van Dyke. I watched this film many times with video cassette player in the mid 1980s as a kid of 9-10yrs. My dad liked the movie and sometimes we watch it with him. I still remember the video cassette and our AKAI Video Cassette Player. I'm feeling nostalgic now.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Grease, Christine, and The Fast And The Furious all seem to have the same story.......... Bringing old junk cars back to life.
I get quite emotional when I watch this scene in the movie, because I have very dear memories of my mother taking me to see the movie, the very week it was released back in 1968 It was showing in the long closed down cinema The Plaza off western avenue in Cardiff I'm now nearly 62 and my dear mother is approaching her 92 no birthday So many years ago, but it will live long in memory Thank you mum, for everything, your so dear to me, you cannot know
When I was still just a kid, my dad and I would have serious discussions about how Caractacus Potts could of managed to restore "Chitty" from the wreck she was, into the beauty she became - all by himself. The wrecked "Chitty" was put into the barn nose first, and the restored "Chitty" emerged nose first; this means Mr. Potts picked up every piece of "Chitty" and moved/rotated the component 180 degrees, including the frame which probably weighed 200 kilos by itself!
And it could swim and fly. If you read the book you'll know that the car built itself as much as Potts did. Why not turn around by itself? Or maybe he reversed during the build outside - it's a MOVIE!!!
Chitty would always be grateful to Mr. Caractacus Posh for restoring her and giving her new life. She would from this moment on serve the Mr. Posh and his family as her family.
It was obviously a good deal more soot than they anticipated for the scene. Just after Dick Van Dyke walks off screen you can see the young Heather Ripley look off to the director for a reaction 2:33. To her credit she didn't break and quickly goes back to her sandwich 😊

Fantastic car, including the entire movie, those were the days
I had to go to the movie theater. There was no such thing as VCR. And I still watch It and built one.
The book is much better
One of the most beautiful star cars
I 1000% agree. This is the most gorgeous looking car in film history, I would say
This scene where Chitty comes out.. I'm always left speechless with goosebumps. She sure is the most beautiful car I will ever see!
I'd take chitty over a Ferrari or tesla any day
Well....at least until you see a Lamborghini Miura, Mercedes 300SL, Jensen FF, Jaguar E-type, Renault Alpine A110, BMW 3.0 CSL, Ferrari 365 P, Jaguar XKSS, Lancia Stratos, or Porsche 917...

Chills every time the music swells and she comes out of the barn. Gorgeous! Cementing my love of cars since 1969.
The bit by bit scenes of Caractacus putting the car back together shows what a master builder and craftsman he really is, the people who built these cars were exactly like him! Patient, slow, and focused!

Yes I remember that. Like she was magically fixing herself.
Hold on, there's a book?! I want it!
@@alexandriaprime4503 Yeah, by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels!
I wonder if Stephen King took inspiration from that for "Christine". She sees Arnie fixing her and fixing her broken pieces and starts fixing herself.

3:25 - what a beautiful moment. Pure cinema.

Idk ask my parents, I’ve broughten home some real JUNK lol
"Don't over do it my boy"
Caractacus obviously didn't listen to grandpa as he made a fantasmagorical machine.
I love this car
"It's more than spectacular,

It's wizard, it's smashing,
It's keen!"

Chitty's registration number, GEN 11, spells 'genii', the Latin word for 'magical being'.

Genesis 11 is about the Tower of Babel......
Even Baxter's number in Evan Almighty was GEN 614.
Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.
Ian Fleming was quite clever.
that crescendo always gets me

This and the DeLorean had an epic reveal
The greatest movie ever made. It was so wonderful to see it in the theater when I was a kid.

You’re telling us that of all things in this magical, awe-inspiring cinematic marvel, you focused on small trivial details like that?
“That’s a nice pile o’ junk you got there my boy” 😂😂
AND THE BIG BROWN BEAR CAME LOLLOPIN OVER THE MOUNTAIN!!!
Chitty would always be grateful to Mr. Caractacus Posh for restoring her and giving her new life. She would from this moment on serve the Mr. Posh and his family as her family.
A lady entered the room, what a great movie!😀
Many years ago, Chitty was paraded at a football match I was at - you should have heard all those tough Glasgow football fans cheering!
Legit though... That car is the coolest!
I need to watch this movie again. It's been years. Last time I saw it was on VHS.
Van Dyke's British accent is so good, said no one ever.
I used to think he was actually British! At least Lin Manual Miranda isn’t the only one who can fool me with an accent
Very magical. A Old Form Motorcar transformed into the famous Chitty Chitty Bang Bang GEN 11.
Couldn't help notice he left his kids to breath in black smoke and toxic fumes after taking the fireplace apart.
It was obviously a good deal more soot than they anticipated for the scene. Just after Dick Van Dyke walks off screen you can see the young Heather Ripley look off to the director for a reaction 2:33. To her credit she didn't break and quickly goes back to her sandwich 😊
2:21 He just casually yoinks it out like it wasn’t resting above a burning fire hot as hell
I remember seeing this for the first time as a kid not knowing what to expect, ut being both excited for the car and the other kids.
The original Pimp My Ride
I wish cars like that were still made
There probably was a whole lot of mechanical problems people never told us about. But it sure looks good after fifty years
Camera looks awfly good for such an old film!
Daniel Perrea prob blu ray touched it up a bit or the dvd edits lol idk
Yeah...
If they added a little more color saturation it would look excellent...
+Daniel Perrea it was shot on 65mm film which has much better resolution than regular 35mm film.
