I just watched Bugsy Malone for the first time since I was a child. This time with my kids! It brought back so many memories. Thanks so much for uploading this. The actors subsequent lives and the happiness they all seem to have really adds to the experience. Was sad to hear of the passing of Martin Lev.

There hasn't been another musical like it and I don't think there ever will be. It's a classic and I was so great full that I did it in school in year 8 2010.

I did bugsy malone too in 2008 and I still remember it today, I was Looney begonzi and it was the easiest role

This was a great documentary, but I feel bothered with how they spoke about Martin Lev (Dandy Dan). If anything this should be dedicated to his memory yet the narrator only mentioned him for no more than 10 seconds. The rest of the cast should have at least said a few words to remember him. Instead nothing. Sad.

This is an edit of what must have been hundreds of hours of raw footage. Undoubtedly the interviewees talked about him. It just wasn't included. Production decision.

Yeah, Louise English played a ballet dancer in this then she went on to become a globally acclaimed mainstay in the Benny Hill Show then became a success in the theatre, she is a real success story from this film. I wonder why the producers never bothered mentioning/inviting her for this reunion and bigged up Jodie Fosters grim roles instead?

I agree that Martin should have been mentioned more. He was one of the main characters and best characters. I would like to know more about when the other actors worked with him and if they got along with him. It's so sad that he passed away so young. I wonder if there was much help for M.E back then or if there is now?.

I’m so sad that the actor for Danny fat sam’s enemy commuted suicide he will always be in our hearts. RIP danny

God rest your soul Dandy Dan

Haven't seen this movie in over 30 years. Just watched this documentary and I remember every word to every song. I remember as a kid I thought the film was very special but for some reason I thought the kids were very young kids, like 9 or 10. I now realize they're preteen and teen. Love love this movie.

i was choked up and close to tears when i heard about Martin lev (*who played Fat Sams enemy Dandy Dan*), he took his own life because of the horrific illness M.E(*aka Chronic Fatigue Syndrome*),i love bugsy malone and Martin was so superb in it, ive suffered from M.E. for over a decade and i can understand why people commit suicide with this debilitating illness and my heart goes out to him and his family, he'l be forever immortalised on film as the Gangster Dandy Dan, a wonderful performance!

R.I.P Dandy Dan.

Im 28 and ive been watching this movie since i can remember... i love it!!! Thank you for posting all these 5 videos. Brought me back to my child years, man.

❤LOVE JODY FOSTER/❤️// SCOTT BAIL 💝 Thank You both for being part of our childhood Memories.

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 remember going to see this at Leicester Square up in London's West End with my cousin. We both laughed so much and were totally enraptured by the film. There's not been anything to equal it since. Personally, I believe that there are not enough superlatives to describe just how good Bugsy Malone is. Thank you so much for posting this up.

Great movie. John Cassisi wound up losing a bunch of weight and going to jail unfortunately. But he's out and i hope he's well

I am so gutted to hear about Martin Lev who played Dandy Dan also, he was brilliant in it - your comment is lovely, ' he'll be forever immortalised on film as the gangster Dandy Dan.' I could not have said it better myself. Rest in peace Martin.

So enjoying this documentary So loved this movie, I was 5 and for me it was pretend come to life! Thank you Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, Paul Williams, Alan Parker & all involved with this milestone of my life! I still have the LP and cherish it!!

Saw this on Pluto TV for the first time. Great little film and I know my younger self would have enjoyed the heck out of it

Absolutely brilliant!! Cheers love for posting the wonderful memories!! 🥰 I was a wee lass when I saw this in the cinema!

The ending of this video cracked me up. I watched this in 8th grade in social studies when we were on the history of the 1920s topic. I remember laughing my ass off every time the characters would get shot with the whipped cream.

Thanks for uploading this, I played the part of Louis and I lost the video. This film was the most wonderful film to be in, it was a wonderful time in all our lives. I was sorry to hear about Martin Levy ( Dandy Dan ), very sad.

Great film! Takes me back to being young and performing a few of the musical numbers. I was Lena Morelli haha Also, three cheers for Dandy Dan!

"I was not as put off as I was way back when." Faint praise. I love that she hated him. :D

My life has now gone full circle. I was 10 and since watching the film 44 years ago, i have been a Bugsy, (just tip my toe in but never fully commit unless there was no choice and everybody trusts me, I made sure of that, from the baddest to the good. I never realised how much this film actually influenced and affected me. Not even watching it last night, these sets of clips have been so enjoyable, just like the film was on my friends birthday. It was like a question being answered.

I remember first watching this movie, at about age 11 or so and ALSO having such a crush on Scott Baio!😅 Can't say that I blame the girls in the movie.

Wow, this is SO awesome seeing the cast of one of my most beloved movies get together for this reunion! ❤❤❤❤

So nice to see these people reminisce together at the end. And Jodie Foster sure seems to be well-grounded and personable for being one of the biggest stars of her generation.

I haven't watched this in about 8 years, I am a 16 year old lad, I love this film :D

Alan Parker gave them respect they in turn respected the film

Loved it then and now... So do my kids..

Brook Shields, Heather Locklere, Pamela Anderson, all in nearly new condition, Jay Leno ain't got a garage like that.

I was born in 1973; grew up in Los Angeles, CA, USA; watched this on TV in the 80s. I bought the DVD about 5 years ago. Just watched it again last night. I love this movie so much. It was a part of my childhood. I only wish they had highlighted Fizzie in this documentary, because the scene with "Tomorrow" is probably my favorite. I wonder what happened to him? And so sad about Dandy Dan. I found out yesterday you can get Bugsy Malone ring tones. Thanks very much for posting this! Thank you!

Whrere is the real Leroy Smith, How comes hes not been interviewed in this thing ?

Thank you for posting. I watched this on ITV years ago and I was shocked and saddened when I first learned about Martin Lev's death. For me, both he and Jodie Foster were head and shoulders above everyone else acting-wise. Don't get me wrong, the others were great - but Jodie and Martin's performances had that little something extra; you kinda forgot they were kids because they were naturals. RIP Martin, you'll always be remembered thanks to the excellent Bugsy Malone.

I love this film, love the people that played and acted in this film. I saw this film originally in when I was 5 years old, I was born 19, 75, so clearly. I would have gone to the cinema to see it probably even if it took as my dad worked in the fields is in order my family worked in the theatre but I saw this film at 5 years old maybe a bit young I hate is on BBC 2 and since then I've seen this film over I'll tell you now over 100 times everytime I see ya sorry last week I saw the whole film last week and I never get tired of it I love this film I love the characters and it's true there are never be a film made like this is now a day is a good too many words that they use in America the too worried about putting a gun in a child's hand even if it's a toy. Best film ever, nothing comes close to Bugzy Malone.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Try again. I speak into a microphone and from London, therefore, I speak where to create a fairly quickly, and now I have to speak for me for the microphone, pick up anyway, my dad, my family was in theaters, no, I saw this much 5 years old, ball, 1975, however, my brother, my sister, 15 years old me would have definitely seen this, however, I wish I had been around and old enough to seen this since I saw it, when I searched 5 years old, may be a bit young, but then I go into extremely more gangster films, not because this film oh my God I can't my dad used to work in the theatre and took over the world with the stars. I guess you could say the role of the house was my first playground, always somewhere I forgot I knew I'd be safe. Nowadays, it's not the same, this is so many people passed away, including my mom, my dad, my stuff, a mini family. However, I would never take those days away, even though I was gonna for a lot of hell and a lot of trauma. I won't particular person who is a bully. But in the end, I can definitely say I'm stand here and say I'm not for him who gave me a trauma. Bah. This film I've seen over 100 times. ,💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 LOVE BUGZY MALONE

I, too, would like to add my thanks and gratitude to Dante314159 for posting these. I've just sat enthralled through all 5 parts and loved every moment. It's a wonderful film and I will be trying to get the Blu-ray version if only for the director's commentary and any other behind the scenes stuff that may be in it. Surprised we didn't get to see the other singers, for example, which I was kind of hoping we would but a minor criticism. :)

I agree with Jack Brown below: where are Leroy and Fizzy?

If anyone is wondering about the actor who played 'Baby Face' (Dexter Fletcher). He is still acting. You'll see him in 'Stardust', in which he played one of the pirates, he was the second in command.

So heartwarming! Jodie Foster is incredibly humble.

When this movie came out, my mum was running a small movie theatre in an even smaller town. As a promo for the movie, Mum organised cars, costumes, cream pies and kids. My sister and I, and some other kids who helped out or hung out at the theatre. We went up the main street, girls in the cars and boys walking behind with their splurge guns. We stopped outside a bookstore (that was selling the books) went in and cream pied the counter. Then we ran away and went back down the street to the theatre. It was so much fun!

I started watching Part 1 and I couldn't stop. This movie is one of the best ever. It makes me so happy and sad to see them as adults. But you can still really see them as kids! Thanks for the videos.

Thank you for posting these. Bugsy Malone is an old fave and it was great to see the four American stars reunite after thirty years. Great fun.

I don't know how I missed this, as I love Bugsy Malone and this is a great series....so thank you so much for posting! Brought back many happy memories and so nice to see they all have such fond memories too.

I watched all 5 parts as most of the rest of the people here. This movie is still one of my all time favorites.I am about as old as some of the cast so it along with movies like Star wars this is one of my earliest movie memories. I really hope they come out with a Blu-ray of it. It was great to see that the cast of the movie has as good memories making the movie, as I have from watching it. Thank you to Dante314159 for posting this.

Thanks for the vids. They all seem to be genuinely warm and nice people.

Wow! I just watched all five parts and had chills the entire time. This absolutely has never left me!. Talk about a well done movie.. plus I love the honesty!! Not just the good but especially the bad. Rarely will you see people admit the faults of the finished edited movie like the singing * that was God awful! I'm glad I was not the only one cuz I can be pretty critical sometimes and when Scott baio goes from singing with this deep voice into this high-pitched Minnie mouse voice or I remember sitting in the theater and watching Jodie Foster's voice go to this horrible high-pitched voice and especially the piano player voice that did not match him at all!.. to me those are still bad stains on an awesome film. Film was definitely not perfect. But it was amazing.. few films give me chills when I watch little documentaries afterwards. Wow wow wow wow

I have been trying to find this movie for more than 10 years now. I saw it on tv when I was very young and my parents wouldn't let me finish it. I have thought of it almost ever since. I can't believe I finally found it, and I was right to always remember it!!

This is a great doco. It would be great to do a special dvd edition of the movie with this doco plus audio commentary from the director. I love this movie when i was kid and still do. by the way team got the poster coming. great stuff.

This whole thing just made a big smile come to my face :) it's quite emotional for me aswell, i know how they feel, because my school did this for our school play the year we left middle school and it was just like bugsy malone, like gettin props and making scenes it was like one of the best years of my life :') i just wanna go back there an do it again like the bad guys did :'/ .. x

I'm doing a school production of Bugsy Malone in my school, and tomorrow is our final performance. I hope one day when i am older, i can look back at the performances, with my fellow cast members just like these guys. Bugsy Malone is truly an amazing movie, and musical.

R.I.P Dandy Dan :(

My mum took me to see this movie . such a fun movie . of the time . Good memories

SAME! I did the play at school a couple days ago being the last performance and I sooooo wanna be in the real thing now! It's now my favourite movie!

I've noticed it mentioned already in the comments, but I feel there is no harm In mentioning again how fantastic the performance by Martin Lev was at playing Dandy Dan, the acting was superb and he was such a cool, comedy character, and it's a shame this documentary didn't mention more about him. When I was younger and watched this movie you don't get how funny it actually is to an adult and a massive part of that was Martin Lev. Fantastic movie, fantastic job to all that took part.

R.I.P Martin Lev.

I wish kids my age were watching movies like this. I'm almost 16 and none of my friends have even heard of Bugsy Malone

What a fascinating documentary. Thanks for uploading. Really candid interviews with all the cast. I remember being SOOOO jelous of Scot when I was a kid and would have loved to be in the movie.

such a fantastic film when i showed this film in the cinema i always danced to the end song ha ha good job no one could see me in the projection room i now have a copy of the film on 35mm its my fav many thanks dante for these 5 parts

Its an immense film thanks so much for uploading it its a gem if a movie!

OMG...I loved watching all FIVE videos! Thank you for posting this! Loved this movie so much.

Thank you so so so so much for these!! I've been smiling throughout all of it--it's so fun to watch how much they resemble their younger selves.

This was so wonderful to watch, thank you so much. Have been looking on the net for years about the cast of this movie, now if they would just release it on DVD.

Absolutely fantastic...have watched this so many times. will be using this song for my glee club at school soon! thanks for posting! x

I watched all parts and enjoyed it. Thanks for uploading this. I nice to see all the child stars from this movie to give their experiences about working together. I agree with Scott Baio. If it was not for this movie to hire him for the part he would not have been where he is today. He would not have had his own show "Charles In Charge", which was a wonderful show with him in it. I can't imagine any other person doing that show.

this is great! I'm doing a play in college in which I play Bugsy Malone. it was wonderful to see this and understand what everyone is like now

I will forever love this film, there are two films I know every word to and could probably remake scene for scene, one of them is Uncle Buck, the other is Bugsy Malone. Also Jodie Foster as Tallulah was my first ever celeb crush, and as if they wanted to fulfill my broken dreams, now at the age of 22 I'm happy to say she is also a lesbian.

Wow what a great treat to watch. Loved this film. Jodie a hero :)

I met Martin Lev, as he carried his guitar case outside the Questors Theatre in Ealing, this would have been sometime in the mid 1980s... He was a really nice guy, he was actually the president on the board of the charity that dealt with the illness he was afflicted with. I wish he had toughed it out, but I guess its easy to say that when you're not dealing with it yourself. I am sure he would have been on our screens now.

Thanx for posting these as I just watched the film and wondered about the cast.

haha awesome :D thanks a lot for putting this up here, I've loved this movie since I was a child and recently I've wondered what happened to most of them and it's fantastic to know now :)

Watching this at the time it was broadcast it was very nice (and surprising) that Jodie Foster agreed to do the programme as usually when syuch reunion shows are attempted the 'bigger' stars tend to not come back. Two Oscars and yet I get the impression that it's the nicest experience Foster has had making a movie.

Thanks so much for posting all of these! I really enjoyed it.

thanks 4 this awesome find watched all 5 parts!!

That was awesome. Thank you.

thank you so much for uploading!!

The music was awesome,the actors were great but the thing was the girls were so pretty,the funny stories and how cute Scott Baio was

Checked this out from the local library and watched it last night with my kids. They laughed out loud at a few things (which is saying something considering the digital age we live in). But none of us really got the ending because nobody died of cream puffs. One of the parts (Razzamataz) was also played by a fellow by the name of Michael Jackson, but it turns out it's a different person. Jody does a fantastic job in this film.

What a great movie, the whole cast is great. I bet it was so fun to film. gah, Scott was such a cutie too.

My fav movie, thanks for this, great.

This was amazing!

turns out fat sam was sentenced to 6 years in prison for accepting 500,00 in bribes.

Should have had the decency to interview the central Black characters (Leroy Smith & the little brother who cleaned the 'Joint' and tap-danced with the broom). Fat Sam was brilliant & why he didn't end up with a great movie Career (Sopranos, Good-fellas, Donny Brasco etc) is Hollywood's and the public's loss. Scot & Jodie were a class act even then.

Like my commrads,I also finished watching all 5 parts Bugsy Malone: A.T.W.F. & loved every minitue of it, To dante314159, I thank you so much for putting the documentary on KZread.

I loved this movie when I was a kid. We even got to watch it in school. But I admit the dubbed singing bothered me then and it still does. I wish they had let the kids sing for themselves. Oh well... the songs are still good though....very catchy and memorable. Never been another film like it before or since.

Great. And John Cassisi - what a don! Proper sound bloke.

awesome i had to watch all three parts i loved it now i'll watch the movie XD

R.I.P Dandy Dan miss you :)

That was really nice.

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering what had happened to Cassisi. He was great in the film and terrific on the short-lived tv show "Fish." I'm glad he's okay and happy. It was sad to learn about the fate of Martin Lev.
