Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and James Bond

(During a discussion about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.)

Sam
: The crew behind the movie didn't exactly come from a musical background. It was pretty much the whole James Bond crew behind the camera, and had a lot of the same actors, too.
ThePhan: Heh. Really?
Sam: Yeah.
Sam: Presumably because Ian Fleming wrote the book, and so the producers of the Bond series were all, "Hey, let's make this too!"
Lirelyn: Wow. That's funny.
* Lirelyn is now picturing Truly Scrumptious as a Bond girl.
Lirelyn: On the plus side, she doesn't have to change her name.
ThePhan: Lirelyn: LOL. The name's about right.
ThePhan: BEAT
Lirelyn: I wonder how few changes one could make to turn Chitty Chitty Bang Bang into a recognizable Bond flick.
Sam: "My name's Bang Bang. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
Sam: Gert Frobe would have to put the car on a sheet of gold and start up a laser that cuts right through it.
Sam: "No, Mr. Bang Bang, I expect you to be scrapped!"
