* [[Based on a True Story]]: The car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was inspired by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitty_Bang_Bang several real race cars], and the start-of-film sequence showing the car and its crash
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** [[Mary Poppins|Bert the Sweep]] apparently stopped even pretending to have a British accent.
Line 10:
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Robert Helpman, who played the Child Catcher, was actually extremely kind, especially towards the children.
* [[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.
* [[Shout-Out]]:

** ''To'' the film: The video for [[Barenaked Ladies]]'s song "One Week" includes a sequence that duplicates the "dolls" scene from the film.
* [[Sibling Team]]: [[The Sherman Brothers]], who wrote the film's songs.
