Chitty Chitty Bang Bang/Trivia


 * Based on a True Story: The car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was inspired by several real race cars, and the start-of-film sequence showing the car and its crash are loosely based on elements of the first Chitty's history.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * Bert the Sweep apparently stopped even pretending to have a British accent.
 * Auric Goldfinger is a toy-craving, child-hating manchild?
 * Benny Hill is the Toymaker.
 * Not Even Bothering with the Accent: After taking a lot of criticism for his phony Cockney in Mary Poppins, Dick Van Dyke completely dispensed with a British accent in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, despite the fact that his character's father and two children all had one.
