Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: Steampunk Fury Road Version.

[@RupantheWolf]

More like Twisted Metal (2012)

[@kentonbaird1723]

I would watch the heck out of that.

[@kurisu7885]

I get a mix of Mad Max and Whacky Races.

As a steampunk who watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang repeatedly growing up, this makes me so happy!

[@andrewc.2952]

I love this.

[@Wrapscallionn]

Yup. My fave movie. I ever get the money, im buying one of the cars.

[@DemonRider]

i love how all the vehicles are going super fast and that guy is just running casually

[@brenjmorris]

ikr

[@thoughtengine]

Well, those things are under the Gizmo rules in Deadlands. He doesn't want to roll a 1 and have to roll under the malfunction table, or the springs are liable to end up driven right up through his calves...

[@johnsiders7819]

And it not running notice the blower drive is not turning and NO you cannot turn a roots blower on and off as seen in the original mad max !

[@Starteller]

I would prefer a motorcycle for him

[@r.catssapin191]

Must be his shoes😉😂

If Disney and Mad Max had a love child....

There is only one way this song could have cone out: "Robert, no!" "ROBERT, YES."

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of the most steampunk films ever.

[@kevinschafer7766]

How could I not have seen this until 2023? Where have I been the last 4 years? In a word: EPIC!!!!

[@Solidfact42]

Welp, I guess it's time for the dark steampunk remake of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie. You phone up Tim Burton and I'll see if Johnny Depp is free. All joking aside, I loved both the song and the video. Frankly I consider it an improvement on the original.

[@sylviabrownehypnosis]

Several years ago, I read an interview with Tim Burton (during the Willie Wonka movie promo tour) and he was asked what movie he would like to remake. His answer was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[@firstname1152]

And don't forget the witch woman too

[@ElveeKaye]

If Abney Park could do all of the music for it, it would be epic beyond imagining!

[@Phanya_Lil_Ghosta]

Captain Robert is much much better than Depp lol

[@keithkeyser9546]

Great, now I need a helicopter with a Tesla gun on it.

[@kitirena_koneko]

I dare you to give Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" the Steampunk treatment! Nya ha ha!

[@jacobwilson8579]

I actually want to see it go even deeper into SCIENCE!! More Weird Scoence in Weird Science is even better.

[@WardNightstone]

OH MY GODS YES!

[@nachtwaya8721]

I second this!

@Necroglobule Yes. We freaking want him in that. :D ;P xD

[@mikayla8474]

"What a bunch of assholes" is my favorite line of the newspaper clipping

This is the car you drive when you need a chase scene but don’t want to leave the couch!

[@Petaurista13]

Actually in USA I've rent car with cozy couch instead of front seats.

id say a mad max styled chitty chitty bang bang car

[@joeanspach539]

Notice his seat is a full on couch? So take 1 leather couch and marry it to a classic model A rod. Add 1 v8 of your choosing and a 6:71 blower and presto.

[@jesseruscitotheitalianstal6199]

I'm getting lots of Rammstein vibes here. Awesome

[@chriswhite2151]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang basically invented steampunk, and I love this version!

[@MickPsyphon]

I clicked on PLAY, thoroughly expecting it to be another bastardization of a classic children's song. Instead, I was wonderfully surprised to be treated with an awesome new take on it, which was obviously done with respect for the original. Love it!!!!! 😘👍

[@hakuso.3]

Zaps the car, begins to cackle, in my head I hear: ""I'll get you, my pretty, and your little car too!"

[@markhall7646]

Nya ha ha!

[@spacewarpphotography1667]

I have binge watching/listening to this for hours a day. I cannot get over how good and ridiculous it is!

Ah yes... Chitty Bang Bang the original Bond car!

[@MinaKittenGaming]

This was... not what I was expecting, but it was extraordinarily badass. The guy on robo-stilts with the laser armband had me smiling the whole time.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

I love how this video is both high-effort and low-effort at the same time.

[@pauljensen5699]

The engine isn't even running. A most spectacular feat, indeed.

It's not live footage coverage of the race. Don't overthink it.

[@robertpennington1381]

My favorite part was the news paper article at the end, especially the line 'people of the past had a Fair and Honest Government.'

[@trevormcwilliams7578]

When I first heard this, I thought IS NOTHING SACRED?? Then I found myself dancing. AWESOME!!!!! Chitty got some steel for 2021 :)

[@deborahvictoriaedwards5188]

Blessings from THE TRINITY 🌟🙏💖 I LOVE YOU...

[@jwl2469]

I'm an original Chitty fan and was hesitant, thinking it would be blaspheme… but it's GREAT! My ONLY critique, because of my eye for details, in the credits at 3:21, the word "starring" is misspelt as "staring".

[@abneypark]

jwl 2 oops!

[@thoughtengine]

I thought one shouldn't get started on that subject.

[@getyroks]

*misspelled

[@Tharkon]

In that category, we also have de-nigh and there in the newspaper article at 3:08.

[@Benneducci]

I don't know, there did seem to be a lot of staring in this video...

[@SiiriCressey]

What's not to love about a flying semi-sentient dieselpunk hydro race car?!

[@gabe_s_videos]
