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!
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!
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.
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 !
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)
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
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!
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!
Can't believe this TH-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.
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!
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.
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
"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...
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!!!
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 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
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.
Amazing film, brings back childhood memories for sure. Everyone fancied Tulula, it was years later everyone realised they were barking up the wrong tree.
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.
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 .
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!
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.
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.
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. :-(
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.
The pedal cars! The cream-pie guns!! Oh, the memories :)

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).

All that happened was his hair fell off

I STILL want one of those pedal cars, and I'm 35!!
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
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!
One of the best films ever made and a work of rare genius.

Thank you, Sir Alan Parker for this classic film. Rest In Peace.
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.
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 seeing this at the rec center in my neighborhood in San Diego Navy housing in 1978. Blew my mind as a kid. Great memories.
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.
TH-cam is the BEST.Things like this just make me love it more
NO ONE! NO ONE!! can make bugsy malone as amazing as this was and still is. its amazing!!!
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)

John Cassisi did not change at all! Well, okay, he lost his hair but that's it!
My thoughts exactly! XD

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"...
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.
" Don't you want to be someone?"
"Nah, I'm Just happy being me."
Something to live by!
Thanks for posting this. Still one of my all-time favorite movies.

When I first watched this movie, I was blown away. I must've been around 10 years old.
"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...
3:55 "He had so many Labrador puppies to deal with" Jodie Foster thought a lot of herself when she was 12, hahaha :P
One of my favorite movies. Love it

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.
i remember watching this when i was 10 lol
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 ❤️
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
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

Close your eyes and imagine it. A remake with all the original actors as adults! Would be a bit wonderful! :-)
Just got this dvd in the mail today. Loved this movie then and now. Where did this footage come from? Thanks for posting!!!
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.
