Bugsy Malone was an outlier when it was released in the mid-1970s.It was completely unlike any other movie released that year, including hits such as Rocky, All The President's Men, The Omen, A Star is Born, and The Bad News Bears.
Bugsy Malone was set in 1920s New York. Directed by Alan Parker, the film follows rival mobsters competing for control of the city, complete with dance numbers and comedic whipped cream gun battles.
"It really was a British movie. We shot it here, and most of the cast was British," she explained. "I remember being scared because I came from shooting Taxi Driver, so I wasn't there for rehearsals." Foster was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the role of Iris Steensma.
However, she experienced some mean girl behavior from some of her fellow female castmates during filming. "The first day I arrived, there was this group of girls, dancers, and they had a fire extinguisher in their hands, asking me, 'What's the password?' I didn't know and they sprayed me!"
In a separate interview, Baio told Adam Corolla that he was ready to quit the business when he was asked to audition for Bugsy Malone. He read for two parts, the actor said, and asked director Parker "am I done" before he "threw the script at him" and walked out the door.
Looking back on it, Baio called Bugsy Malone "a fantastic movie. What Alan Parker and that whole bunch of guys did was amazing. You can't not like the movie. It's kids dressed up as mobsters and wise guys shooting whipped cream guns."
