Roald Dahl brought the novel to the screen and was quite experienced in this genre, having written such books as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach. This curiously titled film is based on a children's book by Fleming and stars Dick Van Dyke (who previously appeared in the highly successful 1964 fantasy film, Mary Poppins) as Caractacus Potts, an inventor who spins a remarkable tale for his two children about a magical flying car. But in 1968, another of Fleming's creations made the leap to the big screen - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. When one thinks of Ian Fleming, one name usually pops to mind: Bond.

As Potts, Truly, and the children drive off, their happiness is such that they are unaware that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has once more taken to the skies. After the picnic, Lord Scrumptious offers Potts a contract for manufacturing the whistling sweets as candies for dogs. With Grandpa, Jemima, and Jeremy rescued, Potts and Truly fly home in Chitty Chitty. At a given signal, all the children rush in and lead a successful mutiny in freeing Vulgaria from tyranny. Aided by the village toymaker and all the children who have escaped capture by hiding in an underground cave, Potts and Truly masquerade as life-sized puppets and gain entry to the Baron's birthday party. Because of this, Jemima and Jeremy become victims of the royal Child Catcher and are imprisoned in the castle. There they learn that Baroness Bomburst so despises children that she has forbidden them in the kingdom. Witnessing the abduction, Potts, Truly, and the children give chase by flying in Chitty Chitty to far-off Vulgaria. But it is Grandpa Potts that the Baron's pirates kidnap by mistake and carry away by airship. The evil Baron Bomburst of Vulgaria, who has learned that Chitty Chitty can sail on the water and soar through the sky, is determined to have Potts make him a duplicate model. While on a seaside picnic with the children and Truly, Lord Scrumptious' beautiful daughter, Potts weaves a story about the magical powers of the car.
BANG BANG FULL MOVIE ENGLISH SUBTITLE PLUS
Using a few odds and ends, plus a great deal of hard work and imagination, Potts converts the old wreck into a shiny new contraption which is affectionately named Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The demonstration at Scrumptious' factory is a catastrophe but the undaunted Potts performs with a troupe of folk dancers at a country fair and earns the money to buy the car. In an attempt to raise 30 shillings so that the children can purchase a dilapidated racing car from a junk dealer, Potts tries to sell his latest invention, whistling sweets, to Lord Scrumptious, the owner of the local candy factory. Caractacus Potts is a woefully unsuccessful inventor who lives in an Edwardian mill house with his two small children, Jemima and Jeremy, and their eccentric grandfather.
