{{work}}
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: The original novel has the family go to France on an impromptu holiday, where they end up breaking up a crime ring.
* [[Ear Worm]]: "Oh, you, pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you..."
** "You're my little chu-chi face!"
** "Oh, the POSH, POSH traveling life, the traveling life for me!"
** "Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo, you better never bother with me ol' bamboo!"
** "Toot sweets, toot sweets..."
** Seriously, ''all'' of the music is ridiculously catchy.
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: The Child Catcher. An androgynous [[Batman|Penguin-like]] creature dressed in black who dances about singing the joys of candy and ice cream all as a ploy to lure children into his cart and then lock them in giant circus cages and take them away to an unknown fate.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: "The eatable, [http://www.twitter.com tweetable] treat."
* [[Memetic Molester]]: The Childcatcher is often viewed as one of these by fans of the movie. The lesser-known stage production actually makes him ''worse'', with a [[Villain Song]] that many versions cut for being too suggestive.
* [[No Yay]]: "Truly Scrumptious! You're truly, truly scrumptious!" Yes, kids, she's also twice your age at least.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: Chitty just can't fly without being surrounded by blue matte lines -- a dead giveaway that the shots were filmed in front of a [[Chroma Key|blue screen]]. And then there's the fact that Chitty's normally shiny chrome suddenly stop being reflective when the car is flying. That is, except for those shots of just the hood when it's clearly being airlifted over Neuschwanstein Castle.
* [[Vindicated by History]]: When the film originally came out, it lost money at the box office and was panned by critics. Somewhere along the line, it became a classic.
* [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?]]: [[Benny Hill]] as a toymaker?
