Bugsy Malone

Summary: A great timeless movie
Review: I remember sitting in front of the television at my babysitters house about twenty plus years ago watching this movie over and over again. It was, and still is a great movie. All actors were under the age of sixteen when filming this movie, and each one did a great job. So if you like gangster movies acted by children set in the ninteen twenties filmed in the seventies give this one a shot, it's well worth your time.

Summary: Very nice import copy.
Review: The DVD that is being shipped is an import from Hong Kong, and was marked for all zones, so it should play anywhere. Very nice copy with a good clean picture and dolby 5.1 sound.
Titles are in english and chinese, but there are no annoying subtitles on the screen when you play it. I have been waiting for years for this to come out in DVD and I am very happy with the DVD.

Summary: My favorite movie!
Review: This is such a fantastic movie! I have loved it for years and years, and I've never seen anything like it elsewhere!

Bugsy Malone is a musical about two opposing mobster gangs in some unspecified US city in the 1920s during prohibition. Gangster kingpins, city slickers, dancehall girls, and all sorts of hoodlums sing and dance and fight with hilarious 'splurge guns', and the best part is that none of these actors are more than about sixteen years old.

The music by Paul Williams is fantastic, and Jodie Foster (in her first starring role) is great as the mobster's moll. Scott Baio as the slick, street-wise title character carries it off with superb panache.

The end of the movie is a bit of a feel-good cop-out, but the entire movie is so much fun that it doesn't really matter. A fabulous fun movie with great music!
