RIP Alan Parker (1944-2020), he was a great director who couldn't be pigeonholed to just one genre. The man made a kids gangster musical, then went onto do Midnight Express, Fame, Birdy, Angel Heart and Mississippi Burning. He was simply versatile.
Yes! I remember watching Midnight Express in the 1980's and the man who did the music Giorgio Moroder also did the music for American Gigolo and helped launch the career of Donna Summer (RIP). Fame was also a classic because the kids found out the hard way that the lessons they learned outside the classroom was just as hard inside the classroom. Trust nobody something that coco hernandez found out the hard way.😢
Just watched this with my 16 year old daughter, she loved it! She was giggling over that it was a all kid cast playing as adults. She’s been singing all the songs! Still my favorite!
Can't believe this UA-cam vid is 17 years old, we need an update on these legendary actors, I love this Bugsy Malone film so much, my all time favourite film along with Little Rascals.
As a child of the 70's and early 80's about average 9-13 years younger than these actors in the movie, I watched this movie every chance I could when it was in heavy rotation on television and cable in the late 70's & early 80's and I was absolutely enthralled seeing young kids act adult, the pedal cars, the music etc. I just watched the whole movie again after many decades now in December 2022 as it available for free to watch for Amazon prime members here in the States this month. I have been reading all the comments here on youtube for all 5 parts of this movie cast reunion, and have seen many calls for them to do a remake of this and I disagree. I think they made and cast this movie to perfection and feel in today's day & age, a remake would be something completely different than intended and diminish & ruin the spirit of this masterpiece of Alan Parker. I am perfectly content with Bugsy Malone just being the unique movie it is in a class off it's own for each new generation to discover and appreciate.
I adore this movie. This was my childhood. I used to dress up and sing "my name is tallulah" all the time. I still know all the words to every song! My children will definitely be watching this in the future!
"Brown" "Sounds like a loaf of bread!" "Blousy brown" "Sounds like a stale loaf of bread!" when our class in year 6 heard that (Especialy me) we laughed our pants off xD it was funny... good ol' memmories...
Wonderful stuff, thank you so much for posting! I was 12 when this came out, just the right age :-) Loved Bugsy, wanted to be Tallulah, and can still sing along to every song. Great to see some of the old gang, although sad to hear Martin Lev's fate (Dandy Dan). Really enjoyed the "boys" dancing together again (part 4, I think), and everyone singing at the end. Thanks again!
This movie was a big part of my childhood ...my brother was just watching this about 15 minutes ago and i was in the other room and i heard a scream ...and i looked at my mum and was like thats bugsy malone ...haha ...proves how many times i have watched this movie !
Ive just watched all five, thanks so much for sharing them, ive enjoyed watching it so much and it brings back all the childhood memories singing along to all the songs x
Just found this video, I remember the film so well I saw it as a kid in the '70's and enjoyed it immensely. Saw it again a year ago and it's not lost any of the charm and quality. It was an inspired bit of film making with a brilliant cast, story and script.
most unexpected, possibly favorite thing i've seen on youtube. fat sam looks exactly like he did as a kid. i can't believe so many people have seen this movie!
You Give A Little Love, is one of the most truest song I’ve ever heard. I love it so much, combined with the closing scene, makes me cry with happiness. (My kids make fun of me every time. Lol)
Hate musicals. This is brilliant. Saw it when I was 7, and now, being waay older, it's still as great as in 76. I have the video, soundtrack. I want the ending scene n song, played at my funeral. So perfect.
Alan Parker' pictures are always a huge suprise to taste and sensibility. Each one has its own grammar and appeal. In general they are perfect. Bugsy Malone, Angel Heart, Mississippi Burning, Angela' Aches, Evita and so one... If there is a Lubitsch's Touch, there is of course a Parker's Imagination. It is possible to observe his competence checking the extras wardrobe. I love his work!
This movie was so well written and cast. These children far surpassed many of the adult actors of today. I don't like musicals and even this one won me over. Loved this movie as a child. I still want a splurge gun.
Omg completely agree... I loathe musicals. I can't stand the long drawn out needless singing for no apparent reason that adds nothing to the story line . But Bugsy Malone is sublime... simply sublime.
To be fair I’ve just watched this classic film on ITVX and my first thought was that Jodie foster totally outshined everyone else acting wise! But yes she did come across as as a bit big headed in the interview 😂
Gotta love Bugsy.. my friend Marley played Bugsy, the production of this bought romance and happiness to my life. Thanks for creating that film.. gotta love dan tho. My friends used to call him dusty dabber!!! 😂 xx
Im from UK and remember seeing this documentary on tv. I have always hated Musicals except for Bugsy. When we saw this when we were kids it was a revelation. Kids as grown ups! It is a shame that today that it could be associated with the most dreadful type of monster. I am in my 40s now and have the film in my collection. When I see this film it is through the eyes of the 12 year old that is still in me. Enjoyable fun, Thank you for posting this.
Weirdly enough, I always got the idea the kids were 14/15 but looked a couple years younger. Now that I see that Jodie and co. were 12 it really would stir up some trouble in this day and age, what with the romance, sexualisation of the dancers, etc, thankfully in those days we were less PC.
I started watching this movie with my class just yesterday! So far, they are LOVING it!! I saw it when it first came out when I was 10!! Great movie, great actors!!!
I saw this video when I was 22. It was on VHS and still today this is my number one movie. I even fascinated about making one of the pedal cars. Believe it or not
When I was 6 years old I was making more money than my old man running small bottles of booze from neighborhood bars and grocery stores to apartments in Brooklyn.
Amazing film, brings back childhood memories for sure. Everyone fancied Tulula, it was years later everyone realised they were barking up the wrong tree.
Una de mis películas favoritas de mi infancia . Y Jodie Foster mi actriz favorita . Lastima que no le gusten los hombres , yo la ame desde bugsy Malone ... Años que nunca olvidaré .
Thanks so much for posting these!!! Much appreciated! This was the first movie I remember seeing in the theater (I was 4), and I just finally bought the Blu-ray (import), but the special features aren't in U.S. format. :-(
John Cassisi, I don't know if you are out there...but I enjoyed the hell out of FISH. Most of the season one eps are quite good. All of you kids were great, but you were really excellent. I hadn't seen the show since I was ten, but I remembered you, Todd and Denise for all these years. Wishing you and your family the best. Thanks for the good memories!
I love Bugsy, my school recently had 2 shows with a band, car, tech and splurge guns that used cans to shoot a foam like material. I was bronx Charlie so I got a splurge gun and it was great.
i remember seeing john cassisi and jodie foster at disneyland in the 70s when i was about 15 .probably when this movie came out.they were with their parents and no one recognize them except me because i the saw the trailers for this film on t.,v.jodie was just a kid then and i saw her close up. she was a cutie then.
Fat sam: u spend more time putting yourself up than there is time in the day! Tallulah: Listen honey, if i diddnt look this good you wouldnt give me the time of day. Fat sam: Ill see you in the car! LOL! XD
1976 I was 12 when this was showing in the cinema (or pictures as we called them back then) I remember taking a girl, I met on a school skiing holiday, to see it 😊
noo no way maybe when im older because my mum will hear me even though im quiet did you see a video of me singing of course you did lol and im sorta quite lol
Babyface (Dexter Fletcher) also starred as John Martin in the HBO hit series band of brothers. Sadly we lost Dandy Dan (Martin Lev) in 1992, he sadly took his own life. He was only 32. That you for your contribution Martin.
I just did a acting camp we did Bugsy Malone! And this was my first real acting experience! And I got the part of Bugsy! And we finished and preformed the play in 4 days! It was so fun but I am really sad that it is over!
The pedal cars! The cream-pie guns!! Oh, the memories :)
Ikr? i loved and wanted to be in this movie as a kid looked so fun! exp the cars!
RIP Alan Parker (1944-2020), he was a great director who couldn't be pigeonholed to just one genre. The man made a kids gangster musical, then went onto do Midnight Express, Fame, Birdy, Angel Heart and Mississippi Burning. He was simply versatile.
In my opinion he is one of the greatest musical directors
What about The Wall?
@Finton Kirk Completely misunderstood by average movie watchers, but never lost on true Pink Floyd fans!
Wow! Thanks for the info.
Yes! I remember watching Midnight Express in the 1980's and the man who did the music Giorgio Moroder also did the music for American Gigolo and helped launch the career of Donna Summer (RIP).

Like every other kid I wanted to be in this so badly!

This is, without doubt, one of my favourite films. It just makes me smile every time I watch it.
This brings tears to my eyes. It is like watching my own children grow up into middle age. I miss their childhood as much as they do.

Well put. Agreed
Fat Sam didn`t changed a bit.
All that happened was his hair fell off

Pink BirthdayGirl12
Omd did you get a part?!!!
How’d it go?
Pink BirthdayGirl12 I had to do it back in 2014 in primary school
but it was amazing
What I love most about Bugsy Malone. Is, it's one of the greatest gangster movie's ever made. And nobody seems to realise it.
I adore this movie. This was my childhood. I used to dress up and sing "my name is tallulah" all the time. I still know all the words to every song! My children will definitely be watching this in the future!
I remember when I was younger my mom let me watch this and I loved it. I'm 22 now and still have a crush on Scott baio lol
One of the greatest kids movies of my childhood
One of the best films ever made and a work of rare genius.
"Brown"
"Sounds like a loaf of bread!"
"Blousy brown"
"Sounds like a stale loaf of bread!"
when our class in year 6 heard that (Especialy me) we laughed our pants off xD it was funny... good ol' memmories...

Just showed my son this movie for the first time . He loved it especially Joe's gym.
This movie was a big part of my childhood ...my brother was just watching this about 15 minutes ago and i was in the other room and i heard a scream ...and i looked at my mum and was like thats bugsy malone ...haha ...proves how many times i have watched this movie !
I remember this movie. This was the first movie that i saw for the first time at the theatres when growing up in the 70's. This movie was great.
Thanks for posting this. Still one of my all-time favorite movies.
NO ONE! NO ONE!! can make bugsy malone as amazing as this was and still is. its amazing!!!
Thank you, Sir Alan Parker for this classic film. Rest In Peace.
Ive just watched all five, thanks so much for sharing them, ive enjoyed watching it so much and it brings back all the childhood memories singing along to all the songs x
Still a great show from 2024
" Don't you want to be someone?"
"Nah, I'm Just happy being me."
Something to live by!

most unexpected, possibly favorite thing i've seen on youtube. fat sam looks exactly like he did as a kid. i can't believe so many people have seen this movie!
I remember seeing this at the rec center in my neighborhood in San Diego Navy housing in 1978. Blew my mind as a kid. Great memories.
You Give A Little Love, is one of the most truest song I’ve ever heard. I love it so much, combined with the closing scene, makes me cry with happiness. (My kids make fun of me every time. Lol)
UA-cam is the BEST.Things like this just make me love it more
Hate musicals.
This is brilliant. Saw it when I was 7, and now, being waay older, it's still as great as in 76. I have the video, soundtrack.
I want the ending scene n song, played at my funeral.
So perfect.

Did you have a Senior Moment forgetting his best film by far The Commitments
@@John-hh4uz Not to mention "Midnight Express," "Fame," "Pink Floyd: The Wall," "Shoot the Moon," and "Birdy"...
This movie was so well written and cast. These children far surpassed many of the adult actors of today. I don't like musicals and even this one won me over. Loved this movie as a child. I still want a splurge gun.
Omg completely agree... I loathe musicals. I can't stand the long drawn out needless singing for no apparent reason that adds nothing to the story line .
But Bugsy Malone is sublime... simply sublime.
3:55 "He had so many Labrador puppies to deal with" Jodie Foster thought a lot of herself when she was 12, hahaha :P
To be fair I’ve just watched this classic film on ITVX and my first thought was that Jodie foster totally outshined everyone else acting wise! But yes she did come across as as a bit big headed in the interview 😂
Great film when i was younger
When I first watched this movie, I was blown away. I must've been around 10 years old.
Thanks for posting this. It is much appreciated
Gotta love Bugsy.. my friend Marley played Bugsy, the production of this bought romance and happiness to my life. Thanks for creating that film.. gotta love dan tho. My friends used to call him dusty dabber!!! 😂 xx
John Cassisi did not change at all! Well, okay, he lost his hair but that's it!
My thoughts exactly! XD
True
Im from UK and remember seeing this documentary on tv. I have always hated Musicals except for Bugsy. When we saw this when we were kids it was a revelation. Kids as grown ups!

I really hope that no one ever remakes this film because it’s a one of it’s kind it really is.
I started watching this movie with my class just yesterday! So far, they are LOVING it!! I saw it when it first came out when I was 10!! Great movie, great actors!!!

1976 I was 12 when this was showing in the cinema (or pictures as we called them back then) I remember taking a girl, I met on a school skiing holiday, to see it 😊

I just love how she blinks at 6:33
Hi I subbed to you :)
Oh! thank you! :3
haha no problem
:) your very nice and you have lovely singing! you should do more videos with your singing in them!
noo no way maybe when im older because my mum will hear me even though im quiet did you see a video of me singing of course you did lol and im sorta quite lol
i remember watching this when i was 10 lol
One of my favorites...I always wanted one of those petal cars! Classic!
Were You all mouthing the singing or were you actually singing and by the way im 11 and I love it!!!
Lol... wow we watched this every sunday till we all (my sisters and I) got soo bored of it🤗... it was a great movie👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾and still is🤗
only saw this movie once as a kid (i'm French)... and it really stuck in my mind... loved it!... i even called my dog Bugsy :D
You can tell those were their REAL personalities at work in the film 😂 that’s why it’s so good.. a timeless classic, one of my faves ❤️
Loved this crazy movie, kinda surreal, in late 70s as a kid and I needed to watch it about 10 times to get the lunacy.
You should, it's an absolute classic and amazing!
ILove the Bugsi malone❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great film. I'm 33 watched when I was a kid.
I hope they never remake this film
who wasent in love with Jody Foster *AS A KID* after seein that movie?
I think I was about 7 or 8 years 😃
ME!, lol... my crush wasn't Jodie, it was the dancer girl that constantly looks directly at the camera in Tallulah's song. =P
Yes I was around 5or6 and found her hypnotic
Babyface (Dexter Fletcher) also starred as John Martin in the HBO hit series band of brothers.
Sadly we lost Dandy Dan (Martin Lev) in 1992, he sadly took his own life.
He was only 32.
That you for your contribution Martin.
Aww I want more movies like this! Such a fun and cool idea to have a cast full of kids just giving it their all
Loved it so much x
Gotta give credit to the legendary Paul Williams…his music really helped make this a fun film!
Unfortunately, John (Fat Sam) Cassisi had to serve a few years in prison.
LoL... I still have it on VHS. Brings back memories. :)
Tf is a VHS
god i love this film
I just did a acting camp we did Bugsy Malone! And this was my first real acting experience! And I got the part of Bugsy! And we finished and preformed the play in 4 days! It was so fun but I am really sad that it is over!
