Audio problem: In the scene where Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is passing the train you can see a continuous trail of smoke issuing from the train. It is exiting from the train's whistle, meaning that there should be a continuous high pitched whistling noise, yet there is no such thing.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Ken Hughes
Starring: Dick Van Dyke, Lionel Jeffries, Benny Hill, Sally Ann Howes
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Chitty is taking off from the castle, Caracticus looks down at the toymaker and Peter and says, "Bye bye". If you look closely, right in front of them, a boy runs across holding a stick he stole from one of the cavalrymen. He is waving it around and you can tell it's fake because it flops around like rubber. (02:16:50)
Truly Scrumptious: Well, Mr. Potts!
Caractacus Pott: What's wrong?
Truly Scrumptious: Now you'll have to marry me!
Trivia: Gert Fröbe and Desmond Llewelyn are in the film both of whom were in "Goldfinger" (1964). The first Bond novels were written by Ian Fleming who also wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
Question: Who was the dwarf in the castle scene when the children arrive at the castle in the child catcher cage?
