Plot Summary:
|
In this sui generis mobster movie, Scott Baio heads up a prepubescent tint as the rubric character, a babe gangster identified to dismiss floor Mod York Burg. Instead of throwing fists or bullets, the Outlawing-generation kiddie mobsters sling confections at one another. When Bugsy learns that a rival gang has developed a affair weapon able of firing sweets as skilful as a vehicle gun shoots bullets, he sets out to heist the high-tech tart-launcher.
BUGSY MALONE, chairman Alan Parker's first feature, cleverly spoofs the rich, cliche-ridden narrative of films about organized felony while lig... htly mocking the trustful, selfish traits of grown-ups. The delightful silliness is periodically vivacious mail by several long story-and-dance numbers composed through bubblegum report maestro Paul Williams.

In a plot that wouldn't fill the first chapter of a dime store pulp thriller, Bugsy Malone (Scott Baio) is the genia...
My kids love this- A classic
My 4 year old and 8 year old love this film. Its got no adults in it and the songs are brilliant which might explain why. Its got a great energy and Jodie Foster steals the show.
