Talk:Bugsy Malone

message: "In 2003, Bugsy Malone was voted #19 on a list of the 100 greatest musicals, as chosen by viewers of Channel 4 in the UK, placing it higher than The Phantom Of The Opera, Cats, and The King and I. Channel 4 adapted the list to a TV special format, on which Scott Baio appeared."
I wouldnt put much stock in this... this show also put Buffy the musical episode at number 13, above Phantom, Cats, Miss Saigon, Les Mis etc, put Miss Saigon at number 99, didnt add Sunset Boulevard, and the winner was Grease! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adcro (talk • contribs) 17:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: * Finally, although any references to sexuality are absent, Jodie Foster's Tallulah is notable for her smouldering flirtatious nature, and her forthright, sassy character.
I think that this statement needs reworded.  Although explicit sexual references are absent, it is not correct to state that any reference to sexuality are absent.  Don't know how to proceed, any ideas. --Brideshead 18:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I couldn't help but add some much needed info to this article about a movie from my childhood that I love very much!! I guess the blu-ray version would be ok to own, but I still can't help but be cautious. Until I see "US Region 1 Blu-Ray" on the header, I just can't bring myself to justify the purchase.MJEH (talk) 06:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I love this article. Sometimes, I put hours of sweat equity into one, and somebody else comes along and hacks the crap out of it. This article is the very rare occurrence where (almost) all the edits have been improvements. So nice. Btw, for the IP editor who decimated my phrase "cutely meets", I restored it b/c I liked it. And b/c it's a reference to the screwball comedy tradition of a meet cute. Just FYI. Eaglizard (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow! Six months later, and its still the same! Every edit has been an improvement (or a vandal-fix)... Sometimes WP works so well, huh? :) Eaglizard (talk) 08:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says it is set in Chicago, but the spinning newspapers in the film are from New York, and one of the characters comes from the "Lower East Side", which is also New York. Where was it really supposed to be?87.115.211.94 (talk) 12:00, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

message: With only one acting role, I'm not sure Florrie Dugger - or some of the other supporting cast members, for that matter - meet the "notability" criteria for a standalone biographical article as per WP:NACTOR. Perhaps her biographical article should be merged with this one? --Muzilon (talk) 10:45, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Why has the film's nationality been changed to 'American-British'? The film was made in England by a British director and producers, was made by the British film company 'Good Times Enterprise' and was even distributed by the British distributor 'Rank Organisation'. How much 'American' involvement was there? The Afi seemed to be basing the country of origin because Paramount distributed the film in the US only which does not make the film an American production. The BFI lists the film as a British production and the film is often included on 'Best British films' lists, or, is this another case of the American-biased Wikipedia trying to make America take credit for everything?

message: The character bio for Roxy Robinson says he is “Fat Sam's best bodyguard”… I can’t remember if Fat Sam actually says this in dialogue elsewhere in the movie, but the fact that Roxy is splurged at the very start of the movie, accompanied by Sam’s narration: “Someone once said, "If it was raining brains, Roxy Robinson wouldn't even get wet."”, suggests that even by Sam’s gang standards, Roxy (nickname “Roxy the Weasel” according to the voice-over) wasn’t the brightest - so was he the best bodyguard?

thread_title:  Roxy Robinson… 

message: (Possibly only in Britain and to thwart critics of the film's obvious far-fetched nature) the film actually starts with Jodie Foster breaking character and the 4th wall - basically saying to camera something like - "Yes, this is a kids film, so we weren't really ever going to be shooting each other - and yes it is far-fetched having kids as gangsters - we know. But if you think Bugsy Malone is just another kids movie you are wrong. Just enjoy the movie as is". 
Something like that.
But in other versions it just runs as stated in the Plot section, where Roxy Robinson is splurged, so maybe in those regions they thought the Jodie intro was not needed or wouldn't be understood.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr gobrien (talk • contribs) 15:18, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
